Review on Experience The Versatility Of OPHIR Portable Mini Airbrush Air Compressor Kit - Perfect For Hobby Model Crafts (Camouflage) by Jeremy Romero

What you get is what you pay for.

I have taken a bit longer to write this review. In fact, I was trying to know better the equipment instead be unfair. It is very well built and pretty nice, but I had a lot of issues working with this airbrush. I spent more time trying unclogging it than painting with it. I started with a Testors paint set. This kind of paint need be thinned with a special thinner and the airbrush kept clogged every each two minutes. Ok, Its a enamel paint, so I kept going. Afterwards, I had a complete mess in my room (disassembling and cleaning the airbrush) I changed to a kit of Vallejo air paints. This kind of paint is easier to work than enamel paints because it is acrylic paints and specific for airbrushing. Unfortunately the bad things keep happening. So, it works, but the main problem is that you spend more time disassembling (taking out the needle, tip, unclogging, etc.), cleaning and assembling than painting. I paid $50.00 in a set with the airbrush plus compressor while an Iwata airbrush costs almost $ 100.00. So, what you get is what you pay for. I wouldn't buy again.
