FineScale Modeler unboxes new kits, tries a cheap airbrush, and discusses a Gundam make-and-take

I enjoyed your review of the Neoeco SJ-81 airbrush, however I must point.out to.you that there.is.another airbrush put out from Neoeco. This.is approved version.of.The 81 and that is the SJ-83 . It too comes.with.The same.things as the.81 but.with.some differences.  1. It does not have the hose or the clean up.kit . 2. The nozzles are different as these are the self centering ones that your reviewer wished f or. And the performance of them are better than the 81s Iwata style. They are much easier to change and don not require the special tool to use to change them with. You also don't have to worry about breaking them either. You just remove the nozzle cap and take the nozzle out and replace with the desired needle and your ready to go. It comes.with the same size needles as the 81. 3. It also comes with extra gaskets and washers that will allow you.to replace one that has malfunctioned. That's more than any other mmanufacturers provide. 4. It comes wit

I also have purchased the NeoEco recently to have a spare. I have been using a Paasche single action for decades, but it is really starting to seem tired. I haven't used the NeoEco yet, but your video has given me a push to give it a try. Also enjoyed the make-and-take. Well done.

It was great to see the number of kids that showed up for the make-and-take! Gundams' are a perfect kit, especially for slightly advanced builder as well as beginners with a little help for a more experienced modeler. Well done!

I have the airbrush that was reviewed and used it for a couple of builds. I couldn't agree more with the thoughts expressed, great for the cost for anyone who cannot drop a lot of money when they start airbrushing. Once you figure out it's quirks it worked great for me with .2mm needle and tip.

HaHa. About a year ago, I decided to replace my old Aztec, I got tired of constant clogging and a need for ultrasonic cleaning. I picked up an Iwata and I was impressed with the difference. I had entered a whole different world. I quickly decided that I wanted a backup brush but didn't want to spend the money for another Iwata. I stumbled across the NeoEco about a year ago and realized the brush was FREE since the cost of the fittings would have run ~$40.   At least yours came with decent instructions. I like the removable cup for cleaning and I've found a Q-tip is fine for cleaning the connector. The brush has proven dependable and I probably use it as much as the Iwata.  Now having 2 brushes I quickly decided to get a manifold and use the quick connects, so the difference between the Iwata connector and the NeoEco became a non-issue.  The NoeEco may not have the build quality of the Iwata but it certainly gives it a run for the money!
