Timbertech Multi-Purpose Airbrush Set, AG-183K Dual-Action Gravity Feed Airbrush Kits with 0.3/0.5/0.8mm Needles, 2/5/13CC Fluid Cup for Cake Decorating, Painting, Tattoo, Models Art

*Important to note* My main uses and products: -General model Airbrushing (No Superfine detailing) I stick with the .5 nozzle -I use mostly lacquer and alcohol based paints (water based acrylics will still be a pain if you use those) -I did disassemble and lightly grease the few moving components (the trigger was SLIGHTLY firm out the box not unusable though) I purchased around 5 brushes in the $20-100 range in the last 5 months. This one is by far, the best performing one for the price. It has the no "rubber" seal on the nozzle, so disassembly and cleaning is easy. Also the Cups are removable for cleaning as well. You get the best Variety of nozzle sizes, so it can fill whatever need you have. This has been my main airbrush for about 3 months now. If you know you want a cheaper end airbrush then this one will surprise you. Obviously once you go over $100 you in a new territory.

I bought this airbrush for the 0.5 and 0.8 nozzles for primers and varnishes/ topcoats. Performs well and easy to control. Build quality is better than the Master g22 which I only used once since it came with the compressor kit. Nozzle changes is very easy, it has a self centering nozzle similar to the Iwata Ec;lipse. If you want a cheap airbrush this is the one to get.

I picked this up for spraying smaller quantities of thinned craft paint, when I was not going to be using enough to justify using a suction feed Master S62. With the .8mm tip this works well for spraying the thinned craft paint with out clogging. It did need a little clean up at first as it seemed to have some sticky residue on it, but that cleaned off with alcohol. There are a few burrs in the bottom of the paint cup that make cleaning a little more work as they grab fibers from a q-tip and this causes a little extra work to pull the fibers off. The needle did need a bit of needle juice to move smoothly, but that is normal with most new airbrushes. The seal between the fluid tip and the body was good with no bubbles seen in the paint cup. The .8mm tip and needle did not seal very well at first, but that cleared up by spinning the needle with a little forward pressure to seat it in the fluid tip. Craft paint seems to make a good lapping compound. Over all this is a good airbrush for general spraying, well worth the price. It is identical to a Master G33 that I was given, but at less that 1/2 the price. Spray tips and needles for a Master S62 and G33 fit this airbrush.

It works vert well

Great unit for the price... I am using it for RC car bodies and it is super simple and consistent. The .3mm tip and small cup make for great detail while still being able to lay on a wet backer coat with simple adjustment.

I've done a lot of airbrushing experiments this year (2023), and this was one of the purchases I made that turned out to be a heavily used piece. I've got a few airbrushes, whose needle sizes are 0.2 , 0.3 , and 0.5 mm. I airbrush resin castings and 3D prints, and I use the 0.5 mm needle airbrush for applying base coats. But, for some larger castings and prints, it can take a while. I researched airbrushes with larger needles, and was about to get a Paasche airbrush that has a 0.8 mm needle/nozzle, when I came across this and decided to roll the dice on it, as it also has a 0.8 mm needle/nozzle option. Back when I started airbrushing, I bought a pack of TimberTech paints, and long story short, dealing with them nearly made me quit airbrushing. They were poor quality. So, I hoped this airbrush would be better quality. In retrospect, I probably would've been better off with the Paasche airbrush, because there's quality issues with this airbrush too. However, I'm used to dismantling airbrushes, and thanks to experience in the machining/industrial field, I was able to correct most of the flaws I'll outline below. Opening this airbrush kit up, it was immediately apparent that the airbrush was not well assembled. The rear body was only loosely threaded on, and the needle was not seated fully into the nozzle. The nozzle cap was badly overtightened, to the point I had to very carefully grip it with slip-joint pliers and use them to loosen the cap. There are heavy burrs in the rear body window that exposes the needle chucking nut, and the paint cup I originally wanted to use has heavy burrs on it's threads. Because the threads are coated in chrome, the burrs are hardened and I won't be able to remove them without damaging the threads on the cup. Thankfully, this airbrush comes with a few paint cups. Now, I'll turn to why I gave this airbrush such a high review score. I've cleared away the burrs that needed to be cleared, and properly reassembled this airbrush (and installed the 0.8 mm nozzle, needle and nozzle cap). With my "elbow greasing" this airbrush has become my basecoat (and topcoat!) blaster. Acrylics, enamels, gloss acrylics, topcoats and varnishes... This airbrush blasts even my largest 3D prints and resin castings with any medium with ease! Cleaning it is easy, and again, since I took the time to dismantle and properly reassemble it, I've not had any issues with this airbrush with regards to medium flow, cleaning, or airbrush integrity (no leaks, etc.). So, while I would have been better off initially with a higher quality airbrush such as that Paasche I mentioned, the savings I made by buying and wrenching on this airbrush speak for themselves. With this being said, I advise you to consider your capabilities, experience, resources and willingness to work on things if you're considering this airbrush. If you don't have much experience and/or don't want to heavily wrench on and adjust your new airbrush out of the box, and don't want to deal with potential quality issues, then I advise paying more and getting a Paasche, Badger, or Iwata airbrush. Yes, you'll pay more, but I bet you'll have a smoother initial experience. If you're willing to deal with the situations that I had to, then the savings you'll make compared to a nicer airbrush might be enough to sway you to get this airbrush instead.

I'm an airbrush beginner, and wanted to find an airbrush that was easy to use and maintain, but not too expensive. This is a gravity fed, dual-action airbrush, which is pretty common. - Comes with 3 different size gravity cups, allowing you to choose the one based on how much paint you want to use. Since they're removable, it makes them easier to clean. - Self-centering nozzle. Many airbrushes use tiny nozzles that you have to screw onto an airbrush head using fragile threads. This airbrush's nozzle features a threadless design. The nozzle is just a cone-shaped piece, and you drop it into the opening. It self-centers, so all you do is screw the cap on. This makes it easier to clean and disassemble. - Trigger has a bit of texture and is convex, making for an easier grip. - Comes with 3 nozzle/needle sizes. The 0.3mm is the standard and good for detailed work, and the 0.8mm is good for spraying large volumes of paint. - The body feels good in the hand and sturdy.

Is this an absolutely fantastic airbrush? No. But it's pretty good, well up to most tasks you might want to use it for, and for the price it's positively outstanding. (Heck it would be well worth it for half again the cost.) I do have some minor nitpicks, but they are just that- *minor* nitpicks. The only real complaint I have about it is that the small included wrench is not actually properly sized for the parts it's intended for, which means if you manage to put them on too tight with it, getting them off again will require finding one that actually does fit. But that's at worst a minor nuisance; certainly nothing that should put you off of buying this airbrush. Highly recommended.

Ich habe die Fengda FE-183K jetzt seit 8 Monaten im Einsatz und bin immer noch sehr zufrieden mit ihr. Der Aufbau ist sehr einfach und erlaubt eine schnelle Reinigung sowie Reparaturen. Sehr schön ist auch der große Lieferumfang, welcher die Airbrush sehr vielseitig macht. Ich nutze sie neben meiner H&S Evolution besonders für Grundierungen und generell für Arbeiten, bei denen viel Farbe aufgetragen werden muss oder für Farben, deren Pigmente zu dick für die H&S sind. Die FE-183K hat einen sehr starken Luftstrom und kann damit sehr schnell Farbe auftragen und auch trocknen. Allerdings bedeutet das auch, dass man mit sehr dünnen Farben Probleme bekommen kann, da sie schneller verlaufen. Hier helfen mehr Abstand und ein geringerer Druck vom Kompressor. Der Luftstrom sorgt auch dafür, dass man die Airbrush sehr schnell reinigen kann. Ein voller Farbbecher ist bei durchgezogenem Trigger in wenigen Sekunden leer. Ebenfalls positiv ist die einstellbare Federspannung für den Trigger, welche selbst bei vielen höherwertigeren Airbrush-Pistolen nicht vorhanden ist. Ein paar Mankos gibt es natürlich auch: - Die Becher sind unterschiedlich gut verchromt und poliert. In manchen sind die Oberflächen im Inneren etwas rauh, wodurch sich leicht Farbe ansetzt. Man kann sie mit einem Dremel mit Polieraufsatz und Polierpaste bis auf das Messing runterpolieren, dann sind sie komplett glatt. - Die Verchromung im Inneren der Airbrush ist nicht besonders gut. Nach einigen gründlichen Reinigungen mit dünnen Pfeifenreinigern ist nur noch Messing zu sehen. Das tut der Funktion jedoch keinen Abbruch. Die äußere Verchromung ist immer noch tadellos. - Zumindest bei meinem Set ist die 0,3 mm Düse nicht brauchbar. Das Sprühbild ist schlechter als mit der 0,5 mm Düse und ich kann damit auch keine feineren Linien ziehen. Außerdem ist die enorme Länge der Spitze ein Problem bei der Dosierung mit dem Trigger. Man muss den Trigger sehr weit ziehen, damit überhaupt Farbe austritt. Sie verstopft zudem sehr leicht, was bei der H&S mit 0,28 mm Düse nicht der Fall ist. - Generell hat der Trigger recht viel Spiel, das selbe gilt für die Führung der Nadel im hinteren Bereich. Bei einer H&S kommt bei der kleinsten Berührung des Triggers ein leichter Hauch Farbe raus. Damit ist die Dosierung für feine Arbeiten viel leichter. Mit der Fengda muss man abschätzen, ab welchem Punkt Farbe aus der Düse kommt. - Die Nadeln sind ab Werk ziemlich rauh, wodurch das Sprühbild nicht besonders gut ist. Man kann sich mit einem Tuch und Polierpaste für Metall Abhilfe schaffen, indem man die Nadeln poliert. Der Sprühnebel wird dadurch feiner und besser zentriert mit weniger Overspray. Durch diese einfache Maßnahme kommt das Sprühbild schon sehr nah an eine höherwertigere Airbrush mit 0,4-0,5 mm Düse ran. - Der Trigger ist nicht besonders ergonomisch geformt, was bei längeren Arbeiten im Zeigefinger wehtun kann. Das Design ist aber auch bei Iwata nicht anders. Mit einem 3D Drucker könnte man sich einen Aufsatz drucken, der besser an den Finger angepasst ist. Oder man versucht den Zeigefinger anders aufzulegen, z.B. mit dem vorderen Gelenk statt mit der Fingerspitze. Zuletzt noch ein Tipp, der auch für sämtliche anderen Airbrushes gilt: Die Gewinde sollten am besten alle gefettet werden. Dadurch laufen sie viel geschmeidiger und halten länger. Für die Gewinde der Becher und des Aufsatzes ganz vorne auf der Düse nimmt man am besten Bienenwachs, welches sich bei der Reinigung nicht so leicht abwäscht und noch besser dichtet. Alleine schon für den Schlauch und eine zweite Airbrush-Pistole für gröbere Arbeiten lohnt sich das Set hier auf jeden Fall. Und natürlich für Einsteiger, welche sich noch unsicher sind, ob das Hobby etwas für sie ist. Für sehr feine Arbeiten sollte man dann aber doch zu einer H&S oder Iwata greifen.

Firstly, the airbrush and many other parts were dis-lodged from its foam within the box, causing it to rattle around. Fortunately, nothing was damaged. For the price, the airbrush sprays well and has a design which makes it easy to clean. However, the trigger on this particular airbrush is horrendous. Pressing the trigger down and pulling it back feels very gritty, as if there is sand between the joints of the trigger. Generous amounts of lubricant was not enough to reduce the friction. Furthermore, the needle fits very tightly into the airbrush, this causes even more resistance when pulling back on the trigger. These are things that will eventually go away after use after It has broken in but it is disappointing to say the least.

J'ai commencé l'aéro il y a quelques temps avec des modèles chinois pas chers, pas efficaces et difficiles à nettoyer. J'ai ensuite acheté des Iwata Neo, vraiment bien conçus mais obligeant à un nettoyage méticuleux et précis même s'il est nettement plus simple que sur les modèles bas de gammes/ Mais j'avais des soucis de bouchages intempestifs de la buse de 0.3 avec mes apprêts Vallejo...ce qui lm'a poussé à chercher une buse de 0.5...hors de prix...et de regarder du côté des aéros pas chers. Ce Fenga est à mi chemin entre la conception "chinoise" et Iwata. C'est facile à nettoyer, tout se démonte, comme chez Iwata, la lame de poussée de la molette est solidaire de l'arrière, facile à démonter. Le système de buse est simple (type cône auto centré) et là aussi, très facile à nettoyer même sans passer par le bac à ultrasons. Pour finir, la qualité de spray est très correcte en 0.3 et 0.5 mm. Le tout pour moins de 30€, c'est juste dingue. Je l'utilise pour mes peintures Lexan et apprêts avec plaisir.

Definitely a step up from the cheapest airbrushes I've used before. Using this with 0.8mm needle and nozzle for spot repair on my cars. Handles 2k clear beautifully.
