❓ Expert Q&A

Is HP-B Plus suitable for ultra-fine details?
Yes! The 0.2mm nozzle handles hairlines and micro-blends that rival much more expensive airbrushes. The responsive trigger gives excellent control.
What makes maintenance so easy?
The cutaway handle design and improved threading system. No tools needed for basic service, and the PTFE seals resist chemical damage from aggressive cleaners.
Can I use thicker paints with this airbrush?
With 0.2mm, thin to "milky consistency" works best. For heavier paints, consider the optional 0.3mm nozzle conversion (sold separately).
How does it compare to Eclipse and Micron series?
More durable than Micron, more detailed than Eclipse. It's the "workhorse" choice - reliable for daily use with professional-level detail capability at a reasonable price.

🎨 Professional Precision, Everyday Reliability

0.2mm Ultra-Fine: Hairline details to 20mm coverage for versatile precision work.
PTFE Sealing: Handles aggressive solvents and lacquers with professional reliability.
Tool-Free Maintenance: Cutaway handle design and improved threading for easy service.
The Sweet Spot: Near-Micron detail capability with Eclipse durability at outstanding value.

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.
