Harder & Steenbeck Infinity CR Plus 2 in 1 Airbrush

Product Information

Gravity-fed airbrushes feature a paint cup that’s sitting at the top of the airbrush’s body. The paint flows into the mixing chamber freely thanks to gravity. The paint cups can vary in size and some airbrushes even allow you to change the cups based on your current needs. Other airbrushes have fixed paint cups. Siphon-Fed Airbrush I love lacquer-based paints such as Gunze/GSI Mr. Color, Tamiya LP, or MRP. But these paints REQUIRE proper ventilation and face masks. Do not even think about spraying them in your living room. I am using a cheap Chinese compressor. Don’t know what’s its name but it looks exactly like this one – ZENY Airbrush Compressor. Apart from having to seal all threads with some PTFE tape, I can’t complain about its performance. But I am looking to upgrade to something not as loud. What paints would you recommend for airbrushing? The Infinity requires a 1/8” connector for the airbrush hose. so if you’re using Iwata airbrush you should be fine. If you use Badger or Paasche, then an adaptor will be required. Conclusion The nozzle is of the self-centering type. Just drop it in, screw on the nozzle cap and you are ready to go. No need to mess around with the fine spanner worrying about damaging the nozzle.

This thing has a really strange name just like many other Gunze/GSI products (I will never forget the typo –“Mr.Retarded – Mild”– which I’ve seen in one online store). But – it is, in fact, one of the best airbrushes for fine detail work you can possibly get. A lot of people will look at buying a new airbrush and compare various brands by looking at the nozzle size. Typically for miniature painters, it will go from 0.05mm to 0.6mm. The view is that a smaller nozzle will produce a finer spray.

Infinity CRplus – Elegant chrome design

Meh, it’s the front of a box. do you care? 90% of you are buying it online anyway, I doubt very much this stands out on the shelf. Cult of Paint Infinity Airbrush Review – Unboxing The size of the provided nozzle is 0.3mm and it’s made physically slightly larger and with larger threads than similar nozzles. This allows for better centering which can normally be somewhat problematic with the screw-in nozzles.

If that’s still too expensive for you still, a more entry-level version is the Cult of Paint Evolution airbrush. the Evolution is the brush Squidmar used and had etched in gold recently. If you find the tip clogging with paint, first of all, try to give it a full trigger pull away from your model and it should blast off the drying paint on the needle. But failing this, all you need to do is just keep a small swab of tissue nearby with some airbrush cleaner on it. every so often, just pinch the needle with it and give a gentle twist. The size of the nozzle of your airbrush will determine how much paint is going to get through at the same time. This will also reflect in the width of the spray area. Another factor to consider when choosing the nozzle size is the paint you are planning to use. Some paints, such as metallics, may have coarser pigments. Those would make it more difficult to spray through a small nozzle and even thinning the paint more may not help much. Smaller nozzles also tend to have more problems with paint drying on the tip of the needle, especially when using water-based acrylic paints. The Bottom LineWe can divide airbrushes further based on the way the paint is fed toward the mixing chamber. Gravity-Fed Airbrush High-quality German engineering coupled ideas and direction of some of Miniature Painting’s best artisans. The Cult of paint Infinity is the only airbrush made with miniature painters in mind. Needle/Nozzle: ok, ignore the image above here. the nose on the Crplus I’ve shown is actually from my Evolution Airbrush and I swapped it out to get me out of a jam. The actual nose is identical on both units. However. Why continue to market your Infinity CR Plus as a "high end airbrush instrument for professional artists with ergonomic excellence" even though one of your own designers happily points out at least 9 design faults that needed improving!
