Review on πŸ’¨ Iwata-Medea Studio Series Silver Jet Single Piston Air Compressor: Maximize Your Studio Efficiency with Precision and Reliability by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really reliable model builder air compressor

When I first started shopping for an airbrush and compressor I was very concerned about getting something that would work well together. There are some pretty cheap deals out there for Revain, but I was concerned about their ease of use and quality. In the end I settled on the Silver Jet and the Iwata NEO airbrush. I wanted something that would go out of the box with no issues because I was new. This compressor has been a champion so far. I've painted several models and it works great. It provides a constant flow of air and you can adjust the pressure. I was perturbed by the reviews claiming it could only handle 18psi. It's easy to use. It also works great in combination with the NEO airbrush, which is designed for compressors with low air pressure. To be fair I cranked it all the way up and believe it can handle 18+ psi but you don't need more than 10-20 for NEO and it definitely does. There are cheaper compressors out there but this one has it all including a nice coiled rubber hose with a gun filter and useful features. It comes with adapters for other brands but works particularly well with the NEO airbrush. I think it might be too small for intensive use, but it easily met my needs for accurate scale modeling. RECOMMENDED!

Pros
  • Includes Iwata pistol grip filter
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
