About this deal

The airbrush is equipped with a 0.35mm nozzle that provides great flexibility. It can be used for detailed work as well as for situations that require wider coverage. For extremely fine details, it’s not as good as the H&S 0.15mm airbrushes or the Iwata’s own Custom Microns though. High-quality German engineering coupled ideas and direction of some of Miniature Painting’s best artisans. The Cult of paint Infinity is the only airbrush made with miniature painters in mind. Iwata is well-known for producing some of the best, if not the best, airbrushes in the world. They have a wide range of airbrushes ranging from the cheap NEOs made in China to the hugely expensive Japan-made Custom Microns. I am also sometimes using an old cheap Chinese airbrush for spraying metallic paints. The reason is the fact, that metallics are difficult to clean perfectly. Many model builders like to have a separate airbrush for metallics. What compressor are you using?

Another factor to consider when choosing the nozzle size is the paint you are planning to use. Some paints, such as metallics, may have coarser pigments. Those would make it more difficult to spray through a small nozzle and even thinning the paint more may not help much. Smaller nozzles also tend to have more problems with paint drying on the tip of the needle, especially when using water-based acrylic paints. The Bottom Line Custom Trigger: I’ll go into more detail on this in a sec, but the main feature of this trigger is that it is both taller allowing a greater range of motion and a reversible lip to encourage precision. Cult of Paint Infinity Airbrush Review – Features Cult of Paint Infinity Airbrush Aluminium Body When choosing an airbrush, you should consider several factors. Some of them are very important, others less so. Let’s have look at them now. Control Type The size of the provided nozzle is 0.3mm and it’s made physically slightly larger and with larger threads than similar nozzles. This allows for better centering which can normally be somewhat problematic with the screw-in nozzles.Aluminium Body: Impossible to see in the image (as they are both covered in either chrome or paint), but the front housing on the Cult of Paint airbrush is made from aluminium which is far lighter than the CRplus. This thing has a really strange name just like many other Gunze/GSI products (I will never forget the typo –“Mr.Retarded – Mild”– which I’ve seen in one online store). But – it is, in fact, one of the best airbrushes for fine detail work you can possibly get. But the fact is that this is only half of the equation. it’s also the taper of the needle which defines how wide or fine your spray is. An other nice accessory by H&S is the reamer that is meant to clean the inside of the nozzle. If used with care this can be a useful tool. also says that because of the shortened length it won't fit a 5ml cap ( that could be limiting I suppose but not a deal breaker).

The Eclipse series lies somewhere in between with a price of around 150 dollars. Unlike, the NEO line, the Eclipse is made in Japan. Airbrushes aren’t really that heavy, but the awkward position you hold your hand in whilst using them can cause rapid fatigue. Any weight reduction is welcome as it means you can paint for longer. Cult of Paint Infinity Airbrush Custom Trigger A face mask or respirator is a must-have for me as well. I am using a 3M half-mask. It might be difficult to get a mask now though due to the coronavirus situation. These nozzles are usually tiny and must be screwed onto the airbrush. I have to say I am not a huge fan of these. Tighten it too much and you can damage the nozzle or make it sit off-center hampering the atomization and the spray pattern of the paint. Making it too loose comes with other problems as well. We can divide airbrushes further based on the way the paint is fed toward the mixing chamber. Gravity-Fed AirbrushVallejo paints, on the other hand, were a PITA to spray. They are my choice for brush painting though. What accessories would you recommend?
