Hi Folks,
While pawing around at Hobby Lobby I saw this aerosol-based mini airbrush set:
Here's a link to the product page.
They have several varieties and show them spraying from tiny bottles of acrylics, enamels, and lacquers.
I've used the Preval 6-oz bottle aerosol sprayers, which are basically a substitute for rattlecans, but this Testors detail sprayer looks pretty cool.
Keep in mind, my interestes are strictly low to small MPR. Say, BT-60 and smaller rockets. OK, a Mean Machine would take a while with this thing :dark:
But for routine stuff, like detail painting of stripes and the like, this looks like it might be an economical way to go, paint-wise, and open up lots of possibilities to me. I'm not interested in investing in a real airbrush/compressor, largely due to the need to clean it, store it, noise, etc.. But for ~$25 minus 40% with coupon, this could be pretty cool. I like that it's focused around tiny bottles of paint.
There's also a less complex thing that apparently uses the paint straight from the TEstors tiny paint bottles.
See here.
I think that link is for the paints but it references the sprayer in the picture.
I'd appreciate any experiences.
Marc
