Hi!

Can anyone suggest a good airbrush for fine detail and camo work that has very little overspray. I am using a Harder and Steenbeck Ultra with a .2mm needle set but still cannot get away fron bothersome overspray regardless of paint viscosity or pressure. I was looking to spend in the $100.00 range and wanted a gravity feed brush. I use acrylics only.



Thank you in advance!

I have both an Paasche VL and an Iwata Eclipse gravity feed. I find the Iwata a very good airbrush, especially for camo and color modulation. I use the Paasche for overall color, and the Iwata for fine detail. The Iwata is a little more then $100, but well worth it.

Ahoy Tom,
You have a very good airbrush for detail work.
I would experiment with air pressure and paint dilution first.
Acrylics tends to be finicky................what type are you using.?

Acrylics if not correctly thinned, tend to require higher air pressure
which can lead to over spray.

And welcome to Kitmaker Network!

Cheers,
Joe
