A fixed-cup, dual-action airbrush with the R5 head system. It suits general model painting when you value simple controls more than fine-detail adjustments.

THE QUICK TAKE

Is it right for you?

Buy it for general coverage and ordinary model-painting sessions. The fixed cup and simple trigger keep setup familiar, and the larger head is a useful alternative to buying the finest nozzle for every job.

Consider another brush for tiny details as your main task. It does not have a preset paint-flow stop, and its threaded nozzle calls for care during disassembly. The package also needs a hose and compressor.

01 / BUYING NOTES

Before you buy.

01

A fixed cup keeps the layout simple.

Pour prepared paint into the fixed gravity-feed cup. Clean the cup and passage during color changes; the whole cup is not a removable mixing bottle.

02

The trigger handles two jobs.

Use the top trigger for air and paint. Start the air before pulling back for paint, then return the paint control before releasing the air.

03

Check both hose ends.

The Revolution needs a suitable air source and connecting hose. The pictured Iwata hose fits the brush side; check the different compressor fitting against your compressor outlet.
