Product overview
š« Advanced Series GHADā68
TriggerāStyle Ā· Dual Nozzle (0.38 + 0.5 mm) Ā· Dual Cups Ā· 8āMAC
š What Is This?
A triggerāstyle dualāaction airbrush with two nozzle/needle sets (0.38 + 0.5 mm), two cups (7 + 15 ml), and 8āMAC selfācentering nozzles. Two airbrushes in one ā swap between detail and coverage without buying a second gun. Pistol grip + nylon chemicalāresistant rear for longāsession comfort.
š¤ Who Is It For?
ā Great fit
Modellers wanting one triggerāgrip kit covering detail and coverage ā preshading with 0.38, priming with 0.5. Great if you prefer pistol grip or are building your first serious setup with max versatility.
ā ļø Less ideal
For ultraāfine 0.2 mm freehand, a dedicated detail airbrush is better. Not the pick if you specifically want classic topālever feel.
āļø Two Setups, One Airbrush
| š¬ 0.38 mm (Fine) | šÆ 0.5 mm (Coverage) | |
| Fine lines | ā Good | Limited |
| Basecoating | OK (smaller) | ā Fast |
| Preshading | ā Ideal | Too broad |
| Best cup | 7 ml | 15 ml |
| Best for | Panel lines, camo, detail | Primers, varnish, terrain |
š” Both sets + both cups included. Selfācentering dropāin nozzle ā swap takes under a minute.
š ļø Key Features
| š« Pistol Trigger | Natural grip angle with indexāfinger pull. Much less fatigue than topālever during long sessions. |
| š 8āMAC Nozzle | 8 micro air channels for consistent, repeatable atomisation. Selfācentering dropāin ā reliable swaps. |
| š« Dual Cups | 7 ml (less waste) + 15 ml (fewer refills). Smooth interiors, detachable for easy flush. |
| šļø Nylon Grip | Chemicalāresistant rear ā won't corrode from thinners or cleaners. Better grip than bare metal. |
šØ On the Bench
Detail (0.38 mm + 7 ml)
Preshading panels, tight camo, soft shading on individual models. Slightly broader than 0.35 ā 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 ā less strain running through a batch.
Full Workflow
Prime (0.5) ā shade (0.38) ā clear coat (0.5). Selfācentering nozzle makes midāsession swaps realistic.

ā ļø Honest HeadsāUp
ā¢ Not ultraāfine ā 0.38 mm is good for detail but a 0.2 mm is better for hairāthin freehand. Versatile workhorse, not surgical tool.
ā¢ Trigger adaptation ā different muscle memory from topālever. Most prefer it for comfort after a few sessions.

Notes Ā· 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 ā 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.
