I remember going to a big Spanish show that was by the GP Circuit

I would look at the sparmax GP35 Great value for money, simple to use.

Hi, Thanks for posting. Will you be offering a version of the Bremen in any scale? The 100th anniversary of the Atlantic Flight is in a few years.

Does anyone know if the Junkers 33 kits were issued? I've been looking out for onesince they were announced..... .....I suspect they were a casulty of Putin's action. Paul

No, if you want a 0.3mm, you may be able to install a 0.3mm Sparmax brush, but I haven't tried it, Paul

Probably the TC-501G have a chat to sounds like the pressure switch has failed contact www.air-craft.net they should have the spares.

Sounds like the pressure switch is either stuck or has failed. Spares are available, I would check with air-craft.net for spares.

There are several things to look at.... What air pressure can the brush put out, what is the spec of the paint nozzle/needle, how long the charge lasts, how long to recharge the air supply, paint cup sizes ava.... etc.. Airbrushes can be used for a variety of applications. I remember demos that Ian Peacock once had a customer that wanted suet airbrushed...I think it was for a tv advert ! Personally the normal mains air compressor, will be the norm, for a long time. There is something about hold a good quality airbrush with precision components that can be configured for the job you need doing that is very satisfying.

My usual advice is if it's not performing as you would expect it to, contact the supplier & see what they say. I suspect it's made in China & quality doesn't appear to be as good as units like the Taiwanese Sparmax units. One other thing to check is the warranty, would expect it to be 2 years.

Personaly I would stick with H&S. 0.15, 0.2, 0.4 & 0.6mm nozzles covers a wide range. But I would go to the Evolution Silverline 2in1 or the Infinity cr+ 2in1 .

After you remove the needle from the back, the air cap and paint nozzle unscrew from the from of the brush as a unit and the nozzle just lips out for cleaning. This is the same for the Ultra, Evolution & infinity range. H&S also produce their own cheap cleaning brushes that can clean the inside of the nozzlle and the front of the brush. Paul

As you say H&S is a lot more modular, different cups, nozzles, needles, pick & mix to get the brush you need for the job. The entry level brush is a bit of a compromise, you can't add all the extras on it. The mid range Evolution Silverline 2in1 has everything that most people need. 0.2mm nozzle for fine work and a 0.4mm for large area work. It also has a preset handle to set the maximum flow. The hose should fit, if not there are adapters available. Paul

If it's the CN/BCN, I found the nozzles delicate and not cheap to replace. I would get the broken bit out by getting some cleaner in the front of the brush to soften up the dried paint, then use a cocktail stick in the middle of the loosened nozzle to remove it. For a good introductory brush, I would look at Iwata's sister company Sparmax, they have a good range of brushes around the £50-60 mark MAX- 3 & Max-4 are good general brushes. If you fancy a trigger brush the GP-35 at at around £100 is a great all round brush. Progressive double action trigger, preset handle at the back & spares are lot cheaper than their sister range. Paul
