A trigger‑style dual‑action airbrush with two nozzle/needle sets (0.38 + 0.5 mm), two cups (7 + 15 ml), and 8‑MAC self‑centering nozzles. Two airbrushes in one — swap between detail and coverage without buying a second gun. Pistol grip + nylon chemical‑resistant rear for long‑session comfort.
👤 Who Is It For?
✅ Great fit
Modellers wanting one trigger‑grip kit covering detail and coverage — preshading with 0.38, priming with 0.5. Great if you prefer pistol grip or are building your first serious setup with max versatility.
⚠️ Less ideal
For ultra‑fine 0.2 mm freehand, a dedicated detail airbrush is better. Not the pick if you specifically want classic top‑lever feel.

🛠️ Key Features
🔫 Pistol Trigger
Natural grip angle with index‑finger pull. Much less fatigue than top‑lever during long sessions.
🌀 8‑MAC Nozzle
8 micro air channels for consistent, repeatable atomisation. Self‑centering drop‑in — reliable swaps.
🫙 Dual Cups
7 ml (less waste) + 15 ml (fewer refills). Smooth interiors, detachable for easy flush.
🖐️ Nylon Grip
Chemical‑resistant rear — won't corrode from thinners or cleaners. Better grip than bare metal.
🎨 On the Bench
Detail (0.38 mm + 7 ml)
Preshading panels, tight camo, soft shading on individual models. Slightly broader than 0.35 — gives detail with a touch more flow for smoother blending.
Coverage (0.5 mm + 15 ml)
Priming, varnishing, basecoating vehicles and terrain. Trigger grip pays off — less strain running through a batch.
Full Workflow
Prime (0.5) → shade (0.38) → clear coat (0.5). Self‑centering nozzle makes mid‑session swaps realistic.

⚠️ Honest Heads‑Up
• Not ultra‑fine — 0.38 mm is good for detail but a 0.2 mm is better for hair‑thin freehand. Versatile workhorse, not surgical tool.
• Trigger adaptation — different muscle memory from top‑lever. Most prefer it for comfort after a few sessions.

Notes · Q & A
What nozzle size do I need for miniatures?+
0.3mm is the versatile all-rounder for base coats and priming; 0.2mm suits fine detail work. Larger nozzles (0.5mm) are for terrain and big surfaces.
Do I need a compressor with a tank?+
A tank smooths the airflow and reduces pulsing, giving more consistent results — worth it if you spray regularly, but tankless compressors work fine for occasional use.
How do I keep an airbrush working well?+
Flush with airbrush cleaner between colours and strip-clean after each session. Most spraying problems are cleaning problems.
