Frequently Asked Questions
What is an airbrush used for in model building? An airbrush is a precision painting tool used to apply thin, even layers of paint on model kits, miniatures, and dioramas. It’s perfect for base coats, shading, highlights, and weathering. Using a model airbrush set allows hobbyists to achieve smoother finishes and more detailed effects than traditional brush painting.
Where can I buy airbrushes for models online? You can buy airbrushes for models directly at P-Rex Hobby, Amiami, and HobbyLink Japan. We carry a curated selection of high-quality airbrushes, compressors, cleaning kits, and accessories, ideal for both beginners and advanced hobbyists.
What’s included in a model airbrush set? A typical model airbrush set may include:
Dual-action or single-action airbrush
Nozzles of various sizes
Paint cup (gravity or siphon feed)
Hoses and connectors
An optional compressor or air can adapter
Some sets are bundled with cleaning tools or storage cases, depending on the brand and level of experience.
What type of airbrush is best for beginners? A dual-action gravity-feed airbrush is a great option for beginners, as it offers precision and control for both wide coverage and fine detail. At P-Rex Hobby, we label beginner-friendly options and provide detailed product descriptions to help you choose the right hobby airbrush kit online.
Can I use any paint with my airbrush? You can use acrylic, lacquer, or enamel paints, but they must be properly thinned. Always use paints compatible with your airbrush and compressor setup. We recommend GSI Creos model paints or Mr. Color lacquers for best results, both of which are available in our GSI Creos collection.
Do I need a compressor for my airbrush? Yes. While some airbrushes can use air cans, a compressor provides steady, adjustable airflow for consistent results. We offer several bundles that include both the airbrush and a compatible compressor, ideal for anyone looking to buy hobby airbrush tools as a complete setup.
