Large-Coverage 0.5mm Airbrush for Scale Models

The Tamiya Sparmax Airbrush SX 0.5D delivers exceptional coverage and professional glossy finishes for larger-scale modeling projects. Engineered by Tamiya with a 0.5mm nozzle diameter, this budget-friendly airbrush excels at painting broad surface areas on 1/16 scale armor, 1/32 and 1/48 scale aircraft, and other large models where efficient paint coverage and smooth finishes are essential.

Optimized 0.5mm Nozzle for Broad Coverage

The larger 0.5mm nozzle diameter provides superior paint flow and coverage compared to standard fine-detail airbrushes, making it ideal for base coating large surfaces, applying glossy top coats, and achieving smooth, even finishes on expansive model areas. The increased nozzle size reduces painting time on larger projects while maintaining the control and precision expected from Tamiya airbrush engineering.

Compatible with All Tamiya Paint Systems

Work confidently with your preferred Tamiya paint formulations. This airbrush handles properly thinned Tamiya acrylic paints for water-based convenience, Tamiya enamel paints for smooth finishes and extended working time, and Tamiya lacquer paints for professional-grade durability and fast drying. The multi-medium compatibility and chemical-resistant construction ensure reliable performance across all paint types.

Ideal for Large-Scale Modeling

Perfect for modelers working on larger-scale projects where efficient coverage is essential.

The 0.5mm nozzle handles heavier paint viscosities with ease, making it ideal for primers and glossy finishes.
