Spray Craft SP30KC

Gravity Feed Airbrush & Compressor Kit

W

ith a single action airbrush the

air already comes out to release

the paint into the airflow, you pull

back slowly on the trigger until the desired

amount is released. Gravity airbrushes

have a cup in the top of the body. Less air

pressure is required as the paint is drawn

to the tip by both gravity & air pressure.

I set this airbrush in a matter of moments

and was amazed at how simple it was to

assemble as the hose is a push fit, onto both the

compressor and the airbrush, no fiddly threads

to worry about! The compressor is very compact

(smaller than an A5 sheet of paper in plan). A

really nice touch is the holder for the airbrush

which clips onto the side of the compressor,

keeping everything tidy. The compressor is also

very quiet compared to several I have tried!

I can really see this airbrush being an ideal

starter set if you want to dip your toe into the

world of airbrushing but you do not want to spend

a fortune straight away. Or if you are a seasoned

airbrush user who needs a model fix on holiday

then this would also make a very handy compact

travel set, where’s my European adapter plug?!

The Spray Craft range is a collection of

great value airbrushes, ready-to-use kits and

accessories for the beginner as well as the

broad stroke to dual action detailed airbrushing,
