Mini Elephant Airbrush compressor kit

One thing that contributes to good airbrush finishes is to consider the airbrush as a kind of brush, not the same as a spraygun.  An airbrush is not a tool to keep far from a surface and cover a large area quickly.  The spray gun is more of a device to get the same kind of coverage you get with a brush, but without making brush marks.

BTW, there is a whole forum for airbrushing and painting threads and brands, models of airbrushes, as well as useful tips, are a very frequent thread there.

Hi Simon,

I'm not familiar with the mini elephant compressor kit but I have and use an AB with an 0.2 mm nozzle/needle (H&S Evolution Silverline) and it works fine for 1/32. I recently built a 1/32 Dauntless for a friend and used only the 0.2 mm AB. Worked fine.  I know there are others here who also use 0.2 mm AB's so maybe they'll comment. And, yes, you can also use it for detailing.
