Harder & Steenbeck Ultra 2024 Airbrush, German-Engineered

My table was a mess of various airbrush components as I used to go through one of those cheaper airbrushes every 2 weeks as they would just keep getting clogged or partially clogged in spite of a very rigid cleaning process. I'd be swapping this part and that part between three cheap airbrushes, hoping I'd get one to work properly. After every color I swash the whole thing under water, wipe the bowl, fill with clean water and blow it all out, then fill with solution and blow it all out, ...every time! The video for this airbrush says "just use the brush for now and when you need to clean it, then come back and watch a video on how to do it". I have been using this thing for over a month now and with just the same routine as before, many different mediums, It STILL works as good as the first day. Quality engineering makes all the difference!

Beats the heck outta the master airbrushes I got in a kit. Got myself a good tank and compressor and I'm having a much better time. Honestly just start with one of these and don't bother with a master kit... I had so many struggles with it and just thought airbrushing sucks for a long time. This thing made me love doing it. Cleanup is so much easier, just everything about the workflow is better.

I started airbrushing using a TimberTech kit off of Amazon. I loved it. I thought it worked great and was able to paint some cool stuff. I saw the videos talking about the more expensive brushes and thought to myself, "They can't be that much better." WRONG! There is not a subtle difference in the quality of the spray, there is a massive difference. Then you have preset spray patterns so no more guessing where to adjust the needle. If you're on the fence about upgrading the airbrush in your setup and you're looking at this one, I highly recommend it.

What a beautiful airbrush. I am new to this form of art and I have a heavy hand to be sure. This airbrush has all of the ability of a standard airbrush but with the added benefit of giving a series of settings to help give you a feel for how the airbrush should be positioned to achieve proper base coats, priming, details and more. Absolutely recommend this for beginners and seasoned airbushers alike.

The action on this brush, I understand, was set up to prevent pulling back the trigger before engaging the air (pressing down into the brush body). Unfortunately, the action leaves a snag or a hitch if you haven't pressed down hard enough and the spring makes it tough to get past. Hand cramps abound with this one. Still a good brush. I've relegated it to priming and base coating miniatures and larger models. You can use the lighter weight Evolution spring and smaller needles with this as well. If you can afford it and you're stuck between deciding to get an Evolution, and Infinity, or this one, just get the Evolution or Infinity.

Started off with a cheap alternative and struggled. Decided to give this one a go after watching an online tutorial and it’s a huge improvement. The trigger stop is great for beginners. It prevents you from common beginner pitfalls like spraying too much paint for a given layer type. And it keeps the nozzle from clogging by not letting you dispense paint without air being pushed through. I understand this is a downside to more experienced painters, but it’s been very helpful for this beginner. It’s easy to disassemble and clean. And while it’s quite a bit more than the typical beginner airbrush, I found it very much worth the extra cost in terms of limiting my frustration — more time painting, less time troubleshooting.

An amazing piece of Hardware! Easy to use right out of the box, plenty of educational material on YouTube by Harder and Steenbeck covering all aspects of this airbrush! Well worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone!!

I wish I had known about this airbrush when I started painting, went through several different brands and struggled so much to do quality work. The H&S Ulta gives you a rotating color to help with trigger control which is always new painters biggest hurdle. The airbrush is also customizable, so as your skill progresses you can change components easily to get better and better results. If you are starting out or have been struggling with other airbrushes, I highly recommend you give this one a try.

O aerografo é realmente muito bom, voce sente só de pegar e é sim muito mais fácil de usar comparado aos genericos baratos, muito presciso nao respinga tinta da para fazer traços bem finos é excelente! Ele vai melhorar muito a qualidade do meu trabalho nao que fosse ruim com os genericos mais pelos dias que tenho usado o ultra 2024 nao entupio nenhuma vez , o controle do gatilho é muito top a dispersão de ar faz a tinta secar sem escorrer (sem teias de aranhas) Limpeza é muito facil por ele ter esse acabamento bem polido! Sem falar que ele é muito bonito. Agora Quem sabe um dia eu terei um infinity ou um evolution! Obrigado ao vendendor chegou perfeito e Rapido tambem Parabéns

El mejor aerógrafo para principiantes sin lugar a dudas. Cero atascos de pintura, gatillo con límites para no desperdiciar pintura ni cometer errores y, desde luego con la opción de utilizarlo libremente sin ningún límite.

Bon matériels.

Facile à utiliser et à nettoyer, un bon Flow, très précis même avec la monte de 0,45mm pour l'aiguille. Adapté à tous type de travaux de customisation ou peinture de miniatures. Acheté en complément d'un kit compresseur aérographe honnête mais moins qualitatif au niveau de l'aéro, je m'en sert très souvent pour la peinture sur miniatures et le résultat est à la hauteur de mes attentes. Un investissement certes mais assez polyvalent et qualitatif pour se justifier dans le temps et dans la satisfaction.

Pros: • Superior Build Quality: The Ultra boasts a robust construction with a nickel-plated finish, ensuring durability and a professional feel. • Beginner-Friendly Design: Features like the Start Control trigger system prevent common mistakes by ensuring air is activated before paint flow, aiding in developing proper technique. • Versatility: The modular design allows for easy upgrades, including compatibility with parts from higher-end models like the Infinity. • Ease of Maintenance: The self-centering nozzle design facilitates quick disassembly and cleaning, making it user-friendly for beginners. Cons: • Trigger Tension: Some users may find the trigger slightly stiff initially, but it becomes more comfortable with use. • Finish Wear: Over time, the coating inside the paint cup may wear off, though this doesn’t affect performance. Conclusion: The Harder & Steenbeck Ultra airbrush offers exceptional value for both beginners and seasoned modelers. Its combination of quality, ease of use, and upgrade potential makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about airbrushing.
