Airbrushes for beginners 

Which airbrush to start and learn this new artistic technique ? Among the airbrushes for model making and scale modelling, we offer a range of airbrushes for beginners. These are airbrushes of quality and very honorable workmanship, very largely sufficient for all achievements of model painting, scale modelling painting or miniatures of all kinds.

With its price range from 20 to 50 euros, this line of airbrushes is perfect for beginners, you don't learn to drive a Ferrari or a Bentley. It's better to "get your hands dirty" and discover the practice, techniques, disassembly and mistakes not to be made with this type of tool.

The "AB" models that we offer, besides being cheap, are extremely complete : the boxed offers are made up of both different types (with buckets on top "gravity" or on the bottom "suction") and also simple or complete kits (with hoses and spare parts).

Beginner's airbrush for model making and scale modelling

AB brand tools are economical and complete : they are "double action" models made of stainless steel, with exactly the same options, the same adjustment possibilities (needle stop, air adjustment, nozzle change) as tool models costing hundreds of euros.

The spraying, as well as the precision, are quite similar to those of the airbrushes of major brands. Beginner airbrushes can work with any type of paint, water or solvent based. They offer superb performance in terms of finesse for freehand drawing or coloring for painting and coloring larger parts.

Our model airbrushes can draw fine lines of 0.1 mm, and with a few adjustments, they can also project a round jet of 4 to 5 cm in diameter when placed at 20 cm and a pressure of 2 to 3 bars.

Robustness and frequency of use

If the precision, the possibilities, the compatibility are the same as an airbrush of 200 euros, then why this price difference ?

These questions can be answered, that the costs depending on the country of origin are varied. It can be said that Chinese manufacturers, after decades of copying major brands, have developed excellent, reliable and quality tools.

Of course, the quality of welds and materials is not as high as American, German or Japanese airbrushes. A painter who works several hours a day with his airbrush needs a robust and durable tool.

Exercises with airbrushes for beginners

Do you know that it is the best way to get to know your airbrush and experience problems, dilution, clogging, defects ? It is by disassembling and reassembling this so precise and meticulous tool that one learns and gains experience in the art and technique of airbrushing. As far as the gesture is concerned, we advise to perfect one's mastery, by practicing the freehand gesture, always guided and supported with the other hand, by making simple dots and lines on a sheet of paper, varying the fineness and size of the projections.
