Why an airbrush is essential for model building

A model airbrush is an essential tool for all model builders who value perfect surfaces and precise details. With an airbrush, you can apply paint evenly without visible brush strokes, resulting in a professional finish. Whether you're painting figures, vehicles, or other models – an airbrush allows you to work on large areas while highlighting fine details at the same time.

Different types of airbrushes for model building

There are different types of airbrushes available, depending on your level of experience and the needs of your project.

Single-action airbrush

The single-action airbrush is ideal for beginners. It controls the flow of paint with a single trigger, making it particularly easy to use. It's great for large surface areas where precision isn't as critical. Tamiya offers the SW Basic Airbrush and the SW HG Single 15cc as single-action airbrush options.

Double-action airbrush

For more precise work, we recommend a double-action airbrush. With this type, you can control both air and paint flow separately, giving you greater control over your painting. This is particularly useful for fine details and complex model-building projects. If you're interested in a double-action airbrush, consider the SW HG Airbrush 0.3mm/7cc/DA, with a line width of less than one millimetre. The Airbrush SW HG Trigger Type 0.3mm, with its ergonomic grip, allows for fatigue-free working, perfect for model builders who enjoy long hours working on their models.

Key components of an airbrush set for model building

To work optimally with your model airbrush, you’ll need a complete set. An airbrush set typically includes several components:

  • Airbrush gun: The base for painting your models.
  • Airbrush compressor: Supplies the airbrush with consistent pressure for even spraying.
  • Airbrush hose: Connects the compressor to the gun, ensuring smooth airflow.

You can find a complete airbrush set at Tamiya, or if you prefer to assemble the parts yourself, feel free to browse our model airbrush category.

Tips for using a model airbrush

To ensure your airbrush works flawlessly for model building, here are some tips:

  • Thin the paint correctly: Many paints need to be thinned before spraying to flow smoothly through the nozzle. A ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (paint to thinner) is often ideal.
  • Regular cleaning: After each use, the airbrush should be cleaned to avoid paint build-up. For acrylic paints, you can use distilled water or specialised cleaners.
