The Tamiya Spray-Work Basic Compressor with Airbrush represents the evolution of Tamiya's well-received 1988 Spray-Work Airbrush Set, now featuring convenient case form, considerably reduced operating noise, and improved spray stability and control. This complete battery-powered system includes a 0.3mm airbrush ideal for beginners, offering complete portability for painting anywhere without requiring electrical outlets.
The innovative battery-powered design eliminates the need for electrical outlets, providing complete portability for painting at conventions, outdoor events, workshops, or anywhere you want to work. The compressor uses a rechargeable 7.2V battery pack (sold separately) that provides approximately 20-30 minutes of continuous running time depending on battery capacity. The convenient case form protects the compressor during transport and storage while keeping everything organized.
The included 0.3mm nozzle diameter airbrush is specifically designed for ease of use, making it perfect for beginners entering the world of airbrushing. The versatile nozzle handles everything from 2mm-thin detail lines to broad base coat coverage, allowing you to paint a variety of surfaces with ease. This balanced performance makes the airbrush ideal for camouflage patterns, gradation effects, weathering techniques, and general model painting.
The evolved design features considerably reduced operating noise compared to the original 1988 model, creating a more comfortable painting environment. The improved spray stability and control deliver consistent, professional results for camouflage patterns, smooth gradations, and detailed work. The maximum air pressure of approximately 0.11 MPa (1.1 kgf/cm²) with 20 liters per minute maximum air output (unburdened) provides ample power for plastic model painting.
The compressor operates on a rechargeable 7.2V battery pack (sold separately), providing approximately 20 minutes of continuous running time with a 1400mAh battery or approximately 30 minutes with a 1700mAh battery. Multiple batteries can be kept charged for extended painting sessions without access to electrical power. This battery-powered design makes the system perfect for mobile painting, outdoor demonstrations, and locations without convenient power access.
Perfect for beginners learning airbrushing techniques, modelers painting at conventions or workshops, hobbyists working outdoors or in locations without power, painters needing a portable backup system, and anyone seeking the convenience of battery-powered airbrushing. The 0.3mm nozzle excels at camouflage patterns on military models, gradation effects on aircraft, weathering techniques on armor, and general painting on automotive and ship models.
