Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush – ULTRA 2024 - German-Engineered Dual Action Painting Set with Gravity Feed - 0.45mm Self-Centering Nozzle - 5ml Paint Cup – 120231

What a beautiful airbrush. I am new to this form of art and I have a heavy hand to be sure. This airbrush has all of the ability of a standard airbrush but with the added benefit of giving a series of settings to help give you a feel for how the airbrush should be positioned to achieve proper base coats, priming, details and more. Absolutely recommend this for beginners and seasoned airbushers alike.

I started airbrushing using a TimberTech kit off of Amazon. I loved it. I thought it worked great and was able to paint some cool stuff. I saw the videos talking about the more expensive brushes and thought to myself, "They can't be that much better." WRONG! There is not a subtle difference in the quality of the spray, there is a massive difference. Then you have preset spray patterns so no more guessing where to adjust the needle. If you're on the fence about upgrading the airbrush in your setup and you're looking at this one, I highly recommend it.

Great gun, smooth easily workable,adjustable trigger makes it reliable with the same amount of paint,, worth the price

Unbelievably excellent product! It enabled me able to use another cheap brush i picked up and thought a dud but was just letting paint clog all the time with poor trigger control

I understand that this Airbrush is meant to be the ultimate "I'm new to airbrushing, hold my hand" airbrush from Harder & Steenbeck, but I hate them for not including a second nozzle that would have allowed back bubbling. It is SO frustrating not having that option when painting. In terms of quality, it's a great Airbrush. This is my first H&S Airbrush and it completely changed my mind on how I saw all the hype and fanboy behavior for H&S, this honestly is an amazing piece of equipment and I can see now why Harder and Steenbeck are proud of their products. This airbrush paints beautifully, it cleans very easily, I've never had any issues with it leaking air or paint, the sliding ring next to the trigger makes this airbrush an amazing tool for a beginner and what makes it even better is that the Ultra can be swapped with EVO parts to transition it from a beginner's airbrush to a more experienced persons tool.

Started off with a cheap alternative and struggled. Decided to give this one a go after watching an online tutorial and it’s a huge improvement. The trigger stop is great for beginners. It prevents you from common beginner pitfalls like spraying too much paint for a given layer type. And it keeps the nozzle from clogging by not letting you dispense paint without air being pushed through. I understand this is a downside to more experienced painters, but it’s been very helpful for this beginner. It’s easy to disassemble and clean. And while it’s quite a bit more than the typical beginner airbrush, I found it very much worth the extra cost in terms of limiting my frustration — more time painting, less time troubleshooting.

Hi Amazon, can I retract my review giving this airbrush five stars back in November 2024? Now, I wouldn't even give it a one point except that's the lowest you go. Ok, why? I placed my Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush Ultra in a plastic carrying case back after when I received it in October of 2024 in my closet. When I received it thou, I just tested the spray pattern using some Alclad thinner in the air cup to test the spray pattern. Before storing it thou, I made sure that it was clean and dry. I went in today (end of February 2025) to start spraying some model car parts. I started to break the system down to give it a quick clean before I started using it when I discovered that the nut holding the needle into the airbrush would NOT turn. I used all of my grip and finally got it off, but the needle would NOT budge! Also, when I went to depress the trigger, it would not budge, not even a millimeter! I knew that this airbrush was probably toast, so I used a small pair of vice grips on the end of the needle, and it finally came out. I was completely destroyed! Not by being bent, but by some chemical reaction eating away the material. When I examine the securing nut holding in the needle, I found that there was an "O" ring inside of it and it was rotted away. What in the hell caused this? I did some research on the web and one site on Bing states that you should NOT use the following thinners in this airbrush: Tamiya X-20; X-20A; Vallejo; Tamiya paints thinned with water or Tamiya thinners or Alclad. Seeing as how I'm building Tamiya 1:12 scale F-1 racing cars, I need to use almost exclusively Alclad or AK Interactive paints. What am I supposed to use for thinning these paints? I do know that most all Alclad's don't need thinning for they are lacquer based, but when I need to thin my collection of other paints, what thinners should I use? Please don't get me wrong, this is a brilliant piece of engineering (that's why I gave it a five-star review before), but why didn't they mention this problem? I still have my trusty Iwata TRN-1. So, I'll make sure that it is clean and continue on.

Feels good to finally have an airbrush for my Warhammer painting. This is easy to use as a beginner, I already ordered a second one cause I am a believer.

O aerografo é realmente muito bom, voce sente só de pegar e é sim muito mais fácil de usar comparado aos genericos baratos, muito presciso nao respinga tinta da para fazer traços bem finos é excelente! Ele vai melhorar muito a qualidade do meu trabalho nao que fosse ruim com os genericos mais pelos dias que tenho usado o ultra 2024 nao entupio nenhuma vez , o controle do gatilho é muito top a dispersão de ar faz a tinta secar sem escorrer (sem teias de aranhas) Limpeza é muito facil por ele ter esse acabamento bem polido! Sem falar que ele é muito bonito. Agora Quem sabe um dia eu terei um infinity ou um evolution! Obrigado ao vendendor chegou perfeito e Rapido tambem Parabéns

The better starter Brush and upgradable.

este aerografo al tener una boquilla de .4 y .5 es un excelente aerografo para usar barnices

This airbrush is fantastic. Especially if you are arthritic in your hands as I am. It is easy to hold and isn’t heavy or to light and is just right. Because of the settings collar you don’t struggle to find the right pull back of the trigger for different applications of paint, varnish or primer. It’s just there at the twist of the collar. The trigger top is broad enough to not have your finger slide off and light enough to need very little pressure in use. Again ideal for me having arthritis. I run this at 2 Bars or 25-28psi from a Hyundai 8 litre compressor through a 10 foot hose. It is very simple to clean and when you get the occasional tip dry that’s a simple 10 seconds fix because of the way the end cap is designed. Check out the H&S videos as they are full of simple tips and techniques to get the most out of your airbrush and paints.

La marque H&S n’est plus à présenter, elle est synonyme de qualité et de professionnalisme, et cet Ultra 2024 vient une nouvelle fois confirmer tout cela. Simple d’utilisation, la molette permettant de gérer la sortie de peinture est simple mais c’est une idée de génie. On a l’impression que tout est plus simple avec ce petit bijou entre les mains. Alors que vous soyez débutant ou confirmé dans ce domaine, c’est et je pense que ça restera une valeur sûre.
