Gaahleri Airbrush Kit, Ambition Series GTS-06, Airbrush & Air Compressor with Air Control

I couldn’t help myself. I have a small TCP Global dual chamber air pump, and the tiny mobile, rechargeable air brush kit. But this one was a great compromise, The true, dual chamber airbrush pump is exactly as you’d expect - accurate and can run forever, but bulky. You can lug it around the house, but a bit of a chore and can nick furniture. Over $100 and no airbrush. The rechargeable mobile is extremely portable, but the airbrush has a little grit to the trigger. The single pressure setting I measured was 14psi. Nothing close to its rated output. Worked well enough for me, but I use very thin paints. A single pressure can limit the paints you can use, or the level of coverage detail you want. When you consider this being a few dollars more, it’s the good compromise. NIOSH sound ratings was about 65db. Taking a pressure gauge to the pump, it’s pretty accurate. Most settings were either dead on, or +1 psi max. The least accurate was at the bottom 15psi setting, it’d constantly hit 17psi. Otherwise, pretty happy. I like its portability, and the adjustable pressures an I can throw different airbrushes at it for some detail or coverage work with a larger airbrush. In regards to noise, it’s not loud, but the loudest of the three - likely because it’s in a plastic box. The full, metal compressor is quieter due to the heavy metal chassis and makes a soothing purr. The small rechargeable, portable compressor is quieter due as well, likely because it’s completely sealed, but as you’ve likely read, can have overheating problems on extended use. This compressor is quiet enough that no one minds it on, but just loud enough I’m asked to turn it off if someone’s watching TV. I LOVE the dual airbrush connections, very handy. I don’t like the airbrush holsters. Feels like they’re made for lefties. Otherwise you want to rotate the box 90 degrees counter clockwise, which also makes a lot more sense with the button layout. Minor complaints, but a really good starter set all around. The airbrush works well for general miniature work, and the engagement is smooth. And if you grow your airbrush toolset or paint brands, this compressor will be ready for it too. The portability makes it so easy to quickly zenithal or highlight In your room, full blown prime in the garage/outside or bring it to a friend’s house.

Day 1: loving it! I’ve never used an airbrush before, so I can’t compare it to a full size compressor or other brush, but as a newbie I CAN say that this was an extremely painless first experience. I did buy a moisture trap to put between the airbrush and hose, so I’m not sure how much that’s adding to the experience, but it’s working great so I recommend it just in case. Also, I went ahead and got Vallejo airbrush paints to start with rather than trying to mix it myself (and I have some Gaahleri paint on the way from the website as well). It’s super quiet, very compact, and probably pretty newbie-proof considering I managed to prime two statues and some assorted other minis without breaking anything. 10/10, will update if it stops working or smth. For now though I’d say it’s totally worth the money if you want an air brush but can’t justify a big one.

item arrived undamaged. Because of health issues this review is very late coming. We have been very impressed with this little unit. It does exactly what it says and it's quiet and very easy to use. The included airbrush is decent(could be better) and easy to clean. When operating it is not a very noisy machine, although it of course gets a little louder as you increase pressure. Thus far we have had no issues spraying paint Here are my only issues(nitpicks) with the unit and the reason for four stars... No other accessories such as replacement O rings or protective tips for the airbrush Both airbrush holders point in the same direction. Should be able to turn around or reverse these holders. Would have been nice it the pressure could be raised a couple more bars to 30-35 PSI for thicker paints. The included airbrush while decent could be a bit better quality with maybe a different size needle and nozzle. Would be nice if the AC plug was not in the same area as air hoses. Either flat plug under machine or on opposite end. Lettering on the machine could be larger making it easier to read at a glance. (so message to the company if you have a newer machine or improvements we would be happy to test it) None of these(issues) distract from using the machine and they are more nitpicks. It's small convenient and easy to use. We like it!!

This compressor is outstanding. It’s quiet, it’s easy to set up and use, it’s small, and it has a variety of pressures that work for me. The airbrush is nothing fancy but good quality and it works well. This is not a “workhorse” compressor but it’s ideal for travel use or if you have limited space. And you won’t find a better value - this is not an expensive setup.

This airbrush kit is amazing! It comes with very nice airbrush that is easy to control and for the price, is pretty good for some detail work. The compressor runs continuously during use, but it's not very loud. It has really good, consistent pressure, so no worries about sputtering.

It works fine but it should come with a moisture trap, I hope future kits take that in mind. Other than that, it's great, very silent, easy to take apart, easy to setup.

Amazing that this excellent bundle is budget priced! The compressor is all it’s cracked up to be. Powerful. Versatile. Quiet. The airbrush, although not the best in the Gaahleri line, performs well. I also bought a Gaahleri Ghad-39 airbrush which performs as well as any high end model.

Cool product but out the box nothing worked I checked everything out took it apart put it together and it still doesnt work im pretty sure I got a faulty nozzle cuase it immediately sprays through the cup rather then the needle

This is amazing piece of equipment. Works as intended. Build quality and premium feel for materials

The airhose is already damaged. the air hose/connection from my compressor, and the outer braided covering of the hose is quite badly damaged and frayed near the connection. Just need an new airhose but Amazon could only help with complete return of the compressor. 🙄

Ich bin mit dem Airbrush-Set wirklich zufrieden. Für meine Tabletop-Miniaturen funktioniert es super, gerade beim Grundieren und bei größeren Flächen spart man damit einiges an Zeit. Besonders gut finde ich es für OSL- und andere Lichteffekte. Durch den feinen Farbauftrag lassen sich Lichtquellen und deren Leuchten schön auf die Miniatur übertragen, ohne dass es direkt zu stark oder ungleichmäßig wirkt. Gerade für solche Effekte macht das Airbrushen einen deutlichen Unterschied. Die Handhabung ist relativ einfach und auch als Einsteiger kommt man schnell damit zurecht. Insgesamt macht das Set einen guten Eindruck und für den Preis bekommt man meiner Meinung nach ein ordentliches Gesamtpaket. Für Tabletop-Maler, die mit Airbrush anfangen oder sich an OSL und Lichteffekte herantasten möchten, kann ich das Set auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

El primero que me llegó no funcionaba, aparentemente era fallo del transformador de corriente ya que no se iluminaba la luz de funcionamiento. Devolución a Amazon y devolución del dinero sin problema. El segundo recibido sin ningún problema, es pequeño, cumple sin problema con su cometido y bastante más silencioso que un compresor que tengo de calderin. Ideal si lo tienes que transportar o no dispones de mucho sitio. Viene acompañado de un aerógrafo sencillo.

The compressor is really quiet, it runs very well. Takes a bit of time to understand exactly the buttons function, but then it's pretty easy to use. The airbrush seems basic, but it has worked very well with acrylic paints, again very easy to use. I'dd recommended this set, good for beginners right up to advanced users, overall the compressor is very quiet and really compact.
