Tamiya Spray-Work Basic Compressor with Airbrush 74520

Portable Battery-Powered Compressor Set with 0.3mm Airbrush

TheTamiya Spray-Work Basic Compressor with Airbrushrepresents 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.

Complete Portable Battery-Powered System

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.

Beginner-Friendly 0.3mm Airbrush

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.

Improved Performance Features

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.
