All model air brushes are operated from a compressed gas supply - either a compressor or a compressed gas can of propellant. Most paints will require thinning - consistency is important for best results.

Parts to be painted should be completely free of dust and grease. Use filler and sandpaper to smooth uneven surfaces. Although not essential, giving a first coat of primer can help ensure paint adheres better and gives a better coverage. Uniform application with full coverage is the golden rule for painting. Don't overdo it or runs will occur. Build up the density gradually. Allow the painted parts to dry in a dust free room. Once completely dry, repeat the process to get a perfect finish.

For best results experiment with paint consistency - most will require thinning - and nozzle size as recommended by the manufacturer.

Revell Beginners ESB Airbrush Starter Set (29667)
Airbrushing really is the smoothest technique for applying colour to a substrate. Perfect colouring and special effects can only be achieved with a spray gun. The reason for this versatility is that with airbrushing one never comes into contact with the substrate. The most difficult and uneven surfaces can be painted accurately with a spray gun.

The SPRAY GUN BEGINNER ESB is an uncomplicated and inexpensive spray gun for beginners. The abbreviation ESB stands for E = External Mix, that is external mixing principle; S = Single Action, that is only the air supply is controlled with the control lever; B = Bottom Feed, that is. the colour is fed from below via a screwed on container. Because with this external mix spray gun the paint does not need to flow througha fine mechanism, thicker paints can be used than with an internal mix spray gun. And in model-making, that is very important if one is to achieve a flawless finish. The spray gun set also includes a compressed air hose and the propellant regulator for connection to a pressure gas can. The propellant regulator linked to the air hose forms the connection between the pressure gas can and the spray gun. For the Airbrush beginner, pressure gas from the spray can is a practical, and above all inexpensive, solution. A 200 ml can is good for about 8 minutes of pressure gas.
