Mr. Hobby L3 Compressor Black - PS351KP

Quiet Linear Compressor for Basic Airbrush Work

The Mr. Hobby L3 Compressor Black delivers perfect quality performance with low noise operation ideal for basic airbrush work on small to medium-size models. Operating at 0.05 MPa air pressure with the same air volume as the standard L3, this linear compressor excels at shading, shadowing, and coloring techniques while running quietly enough for nighttime painting sessions without disturbing others.

Low-Noise Linear Compressor Technology

The advanced linear compressor design operates remarkably quietly, making it ideal for home studios, apartments, and shared workspaces where noise reduction is essential. The low noise level allows you to paint late at night without disturbing family members or neighbors, while the smooth, consistent airflow ensures professional results. Linear technology delivers superior performance compared to traditional diaphragm compressors in this price range.

Perfect for Basic Airbrush Techniques

With 0.05 MPa (7.25 PSI) air pressure and consistent air volume, the L3 Compressor handles all basic airbrush techniques including shading, pre-shading, post-shading, shadowing, color application, and weathering effects on small to medium-size models. The reliable air delivery ensures smooth gradations, even coverage, and professional finishes on aircraft, armor, automotive, and ship models in popular scales.

Key Features

• Linear Compressor Technology - Quiet, efficient operation with consistent airflow
• 0.05 MPa Air Pressure - Optimal pressure for basic airbrush techniques
• Same Air Volume as L3 - Reliable air delivery for consistent results
• Low Noise Operation - Quiet enough for nighttime painting sessions
• Perfect Quality Performance - Professional results for basic airbrush work
• Compact Design - Space-efficient footprint for limited workspaces
• Beginner-Friendly - Excellent first compressor for new airbrush users
• Secondary Compressor - Perfect backup or assistant to your main compressor

Compatibility and Limitations

The L3 Compressor works with most Mr. Hobby airbrushes including the Procon Boy FWA Platinum 0.2mm, SQ 0.4mm, and WA Platinum 0.3mm models. However, due to air pressure limitations, 0.5mm trigger-type airbrushes are not compatible with this compressor. For large-scale model projects requiring higher airflow and pressure, consider upgrading to the Mr. Hobby L5 or L7 linear compressors.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for beginners purchasing their first airbrush compressor, experienced modelers needing a quiet secondary compressor, hobbyists working in apartments or shared spaces, nighttime painters who need low-noise operation, and anyone seeking reliable performance for basic airbrush techniques on small to medium-size models. The L3 excels at detail work, shading, weathering effects, and color application on popular scale models.
