Airbrush Kit with Compressor Set FD-186K with Compressor FD-186, Airbrush BD-130 and Accessories

Only had this a few days but so far this kit is amazing for a beginner like me.I haven't painted models in 20 years and back then airbrushing was expensive. I wanted to paint some model kits I have had for 10 - 12 years and wanted to do them properly.This kit had everything I needed and seemed like good value for money. The instructions are practically useless, so you will need to watch some youtube videos for in details cleaning/maintenance of the airbrush etc...but to get up and running is pretty easy. The instructions are just very, very basic.Compressor is not too loud, and only runs when it needs to fill the tank. it will run hot, compressors all do, but its so much cheaper than using cans. Noise level isn't intrusive but its not whisper quiet obviously. A closed door will largely mute it.The air brush seems good for a beginner like me who only wants to prime and coat models in 1 colour. Reviews online on other forums say its good for practice but will need replacing after 6-12 months when you have better skills. The paints are good for practicing as they dont seem to have a very high pigment.One thing Iwould suggest is to buy an airbrush cleaning pot, or a set that provides one. Clean up can be very messy otherwise.It's a very good starter kit and well recommended on forums for Warhammer etc on Reddit.

I called this punchy kit as it does pack a punch - smooth quiet operation with a tank to even out pressure delivery which it does easily. Great kit, great price, well engineered that is ideally suited to the task. Not just a compressor as with the tank, gauge, moisture trap provides a professional set-up.

At first I received a box of baby wipes instead of the compressor, however Amazon dealt with the wrong order very well and efficiently, I had the new compressor on the door step the following day.Easy compressor to set up and use, nothing out of the norm to do or maintenance on it, just read the manual first and common sense. Works really well and gives you all you need in the way of priming and detailing models. I build 1/35 and 1/48 model planes, vehicles and figures. Leaves a great finish!I highly recommend this product. Yes I was annoyed and disappointed when I received baby wipes instead of a compressor but to be fair with the costumer service from Amazon and their next day delivery made me very satisfied and let’s be honest in this day and age you don’t usually get costumer service or satisfaction. Amazon did deliver!

This is my first airbrush and compressor, which I got for my scale model hobby. The compressor is great, the airbrush not so much.After four months I can say I'm very happy with the compressor (FD-186) at least. I live in a flat so I wanted something small and reasonably quiet. This compressor is about the size of two large loaves of bread - and it's about as loud as a fridge compressor, so I'm confident it won't bother the neighbours! It feels solidly built, has adjustable PSI, nice rubber feet, and the air tank means the compressor isn't running constantly.Unfortunately the airbrush (FE-130) leaves something to be desired. It works - sometimes - but you can tell it's cheap. The nozzles had seals that broke easily and on one of the nozzles the thread broke while I was tightening it. Some of the metal is cheap and brittle and parts (e.g. the needle chuck) have started to bend after four months of use. When it works, it's okay, but I feel like I'm constantly fighting against issues with the brush. On an average session I seem to spend an hour actually painting and two hours cleaning and fixing whatever's broken this time.The other parts of the bundle are okay. The included paint set is actually quite good, and the cleaning kit is okay, although the bristles on the cleaning brushes tend to detatch quite easily.In retrospect I probably would have bought this same model of compressor separately and invested in a higher quality airbrush.

I bought this to start airbrushing model aircraft. The kit itself has worked really well, the only issues I have had have been operator error :)Really sturdy, it's a lot quieter than I thought it would be and the airbrush itself is perfect for what I need - I just need to improve my skills!

Fantastic piece of kit really easy to useVery easy to assemble great instructions and a very reasonable price

Went back and forth looking at lots of different options to get started with airbrushing. I'd used one previously with an air can with little success. Was expecting to have to replace the included airbrush, but so far, after a month or so, am finding it extremely useable - was able to get some good basic test work done with the included paints, then moving on to liquitex ink and vallejo air colour.Might upgrade the airbrush at some point, as it seems less suitable for very fine work, but certainly for a beginner I don't think you can go far wrong with this setup - just make sure to buy a cleaning pot, and maybe a mask or booth.As to the compressor - the noise is certainly there, but I have no complaints. Easy to set and maintain the required pressure, and simple to use. Overall, great introduction to how fun and effective airbrushing can be.
