Zephyr 0.3, the first airbrush to bear the Hobby Heaven name, is a top-lever, dual-action, gravity-feed design with a matched 0.3 mm needle and nozzle. Most beginner guides to miniature and scale-model painting favour this configuration, which stays useful well beyond the basics. 0.3 mm is the all-round size; 0.2 mm eases the finest freehand lines, while 0.5 mm speeds up thick primer and varnish. A rear travel limiter and a dedicated HHA number for every wear part make it a tool to tune and maintain, not replace.
1/8″ BSP male air inlet; quick-release coupler and plug included.
The rear knob caps lever travel, not air pressure; set that at your compressor regulator, within 15–40 PSI.
Screw-in nozzle: refit it with the supplied wrench, hand-tight plus a slight nudge; overtightening cracks it.
Strip the front end for cleaning, keeping solvent and ultrasonic baths away from the air valve. Never mix in needles or nozzles from another airbrush.
Still needed: a compressor with a regulator, a hose with a 1/8″ BSP airbrush end, paint and cleaner.
Every order adds a free 80 g tin of our black HHP-1001 elastic masking putty, outside the boxed kit, for masking or soft-edged camouflage strands.

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.
