Great performing airbrush for detail work Thank you for sharing. Love me some Iron Maiden, I went to their concert in the early 90s and they put on a killer concert. Hope your wife is healing up, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏
I have picked this one up as well. Such an amazing brush. Great for the details work!! Great video sir CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K TOO!! Absolutely well deserved 👊😁
I had the same experience with the Iwata NEO. I went through cracked nozzles constantly. I got so frustrated. Then I got a GSI Creos Procon Boy and the difference was night and day. The Procon Boy is my #1 go-to AB. Super easy to clean and maintenance.
Is that Iwata NEO you had trouble with one of the not-made-in-Japan brushes? I have been thinking of a .2 or .18 brush lately, among the candidates, another Iwata.. one of their Micron series. My other Iwata, a customized .5 siphon bottle type has been bulletproof, as has for that matter, my Barbatos Rex special edition Gaahleri that I use with the fan tip. Please elaborate the troubles you had.
@@jenniferwhitewolf3784 it was the Iwata TRN2. I discovered after many nozzle cracks that Iwata nozzles are made from a cheap copper alloy that can weaken and crack when cleaned with alcohol or windex, not stainless steel. It’s no coincidence that Iwata sells replacement parts at Hobby Lobby. They’ve quite a racket going. Also the rubber gaskets crack and deteriorate if cleaned with harsh chemicals. I was constantly trying to reseal the gaskets with beeswax. Not to mention all of the nozzle clogs. I’ve never had any of these issues with my Creos in 3 years of using. Their nozzles are stainless steel and the gasket seals still as good as the day I had purchased it and withstand all chemicals from acetone, mineral spirits, lacquer thinners, windex and isopropyl.
Very nice. I do love my PS-290. Ever since I got that, via recommendation of the folks at Spraygunner, I only use trigger style now ... including your Swallowtail.
Very nice airbrush. I really like the Mr Hobby products. I guess I started using their paint, panel liners, primers and thinner more than a year. Dont have an AB though. Hmmmmm. Thanks for review video.
If that were in my budget, I'd really be interested in getting it. Thanks for the demonstration. Is the adjuster piece on the back made of plastic or metal?
A couple guys already touched on it so I’ll be shorter (and more polite) than most of the others. Try the MAC valve wide open, overthin the paint (@70% thinner) and dial that pressure down way down to about 10 +/- 2 lbs and you can get reeaaalll fine lines. I do freehand Luftwaffe mottling in 1/72 that way and it works like a charm, better with lacquers than acrylics. Now on to Maiden. Nothing against Blaze but Bruce Bruce coming back was what saved them from fading off into nowhereland. Adrian coming back brought their “balls” back too from a guitar standpoint. And it was real cool of him to say he’ll come back IF they don’t sack Jannick. I saw them in PHX two weeks ago a d the show was better than I expected. If they head your way you have to go.
Bewtween the NeoEco SJ-83 and the Gaahleri Mobius .3 I haven't a need for anything else. My Infinity CR+ is still my favorite but the Mobius has become my daily driver. Pro-Tip: You only need to remove the air cap for extreme detail, I recommend to never remove it unless you are painting faces on miniatures or need real detail work like a 1/72 plane cockpit instrument panel. Aside from that the cap will not hold you back with general modelling paint work, even panel lining. I see a lot of folks destroy their needles for no reason removing that cap as if it makes them paint better. It's a situational use thing, but the cap should always be on the rest of the time.
While I appreciate the work it takes to produce videos just about every day, I also see the value in providing correct information. As someone who was once starting out and understand the frustrations with and airbrush, correct information is vital. The PS771, is a detail airbrush as you stated. It is not at all meant to spray pearls and especially not meant for primer. Those paints are way too thick to attempt to spray thru a nozzle that small. Also the "M.A.C. valve" is not for adjusting the P.S.I., it is for doing a stippling effect. Totally different. Closing the valve actually raises the P.S.I., not lowering it. The P.S.I. that tends to be used with an airbrush like this, or a very similar Micron is extremely low. As in 6 to 8 P.S.I. This allows you to get right up close to your work, within 1/8th or a 1/16th of an inch. This allows the paint to be delivered extremely slowly, thus letting you create some amazing detail. The head system on the 771 is designed to be removed to be able to clean the nozzle. By removing the whole system you do not have to attempt to remove the nozzle, by far the most delicate part of the airbrush. This greatly reduces the chance of causing damage, which mostly happens when removing or installing a nozzle. I am not posting this to be an asshole or anything of the sort. I am simply trying to provide information that was very difficult for me to find starting out, which lead to many, many frustrating days. Unfortunately, I do believe that some of the info is going to lead to others going thru the same things that I did. As I stated at the start, I do appreciate the work that goes into how frequently you are posting videos, but I also believe that is a cause for some not fully reached information being spread. This is just my opinion but I believe that more researched videos would provide much more benefit to your viewers. I feel that even creating less videos would overall be much more productive to your subscribers. I hope that this is not coming across the wrong way, as I am attempting to demonstrate where my thinking is coming from. I apologize if this comes across any other way.
It does not come across the wrong way, you are lost like many other airbrushers, in the airbrush specific world. The other importent part of airbrushing is the paint, not just the quality but also the veriety, which this youtube channel showcases a lot. New paint technology is a reality now and keeps improving, giving you more options. If a new airbrush can't keep up then they become overpriced picture drawing tools for limited paints. I prefer a real world airbrush. I would like to see airbrush companies stating their atomization scales on the packaging, if they are brave enough. So far I have only see one company doing that. I don't want a colourfull etched H&S, I want an airbrush with a nozzle that can highly atomize 20 different types of paints.
@@IXr4-ORS He, (@jasondixon2828), is not "lost". He clearly explained how he learned about airbrushes and goes on to explain what the GSI Creos PS-771 is actually for. Now I'm truly lost by your "New technology paint" comment. Can you please elaborate what "new technology" is this you mention?
Anyone who does actual modeling, not spraying spoons, should take most of what he says with a grain of salt. Many of his “tips” and “hacks” can ruin your work. Use tools and chemicals for what they’re designed for.
I've been thinking about getting a Mr. Hobby/GSI airbrush for a while but my Iwata still works with no issues, so I don't see a reason to spend any money yet
Good Video Sir, I hope your wife and furry friends are doing better as the days go by. I wish I could buy this but my monthly checks won't cover such a cost but the price isn't bad for a well detailed product. I think by now Mr. Hobby is a well known for their products doing very and above. I am waiting for that thinner and paint primer sir I hope you got enough lol, they seem to sell out within hours of the same day and then waiting for the next batch to come out. I wish we could preorder this stuff so it lets them know how much to make and then make extra to keep in stock. Might be a something to discuss with them moving forward. Dream Theater - my favorite song was Pull me Under. I felt connected to that song when I 1st heard it and boy it well put together with the music. Pull me Under I am not afraid. Gosh not sure why I don't have that song on my list now that I think of it. What about Dangerous Toys? Ever listen to them and their early days. I listen to a lot of metal bands from around the world now and gosh I wish I had learn other languages over the years so I knew what they are saying but at least now I can learn what the words means and says.
It is wild that these very expensive airbrushes come in such a crappy box. It is an awesome airbrush for excelent detail. I watch other artist's channels that get really tiny details from this airbrush. I thought you already had one of these. 👍😁
Why would a new airbrush bubble up in the cup with a .3 tip and needle but the.5 works great, it's a brand new Black Widow and it does it no matter what I've tried?
@bobclark5479 there may be the smallest piece of dried paint inside, if they tested the airbrush before shipping. Also, is it a screw on nozzle or compression fit? It may not be forming a perfect seal in between the two. I doubt this is the case if you have changed it and it still was only the .3 vs the .5, but just another option I wanted to mention.
@bobclark5479 it almost must be damaged, either a small crack or just flared out from the needle hitting the nozzle. You can try some bees wax on the nozzle threads to eliminate any other option. Chap stick will also work if you do not have bees wax, but I would only use chap stick as an absolute last resort.
My only beef with Mr. Hobby is with them not supplying braided hoses with their top shelf airbrushes. That's as bad as Bandai not supplying decals with Gundam kits...
@@williamanderson6006 I'll only prime with my 105 because it's easy to clean. Have 3 sotars collecting dust because GSI creos brushes atomise paint better. If you aren't concerned with a smoother finish and cleaner freehand then it doesn't apply to you.
I am building military models tanks trucks and stuff what paint brand with easy to use and thin that does not require a special thinner would you recommend? With paint colors that match tanks and stuff
Tamiya & Mr Hobby Aqueous are good choices and only need alcohol to thin them. AK Real Colors work the same too us the updated version is pre thinned. Splash Paints also have a military paint line that's pre thinned

My favourite detail brush. In the top 3 greatest airbrushes currently available.
Keep the cap on - needles for it are expensive.
Have this airbrush. Absolutely love it. Painted 5 gk figures with it so far with no issues
You are the best when it comes to videos for us modelers . Thanks for keeping us up to date on all these new products.
Looks like a real nice airbrush,thank you.
What a nice demo video Robert an thanks for the time an effort you invest into making are videos I appreciate them thanks for everything you do
I could see such a small needle size coming in handy for doing volumetric highlights on armor for both miniatures and gunpla
If that were in my budget, I'd really be interested in getting it. Thanks for the demonstration.
Is the adjuster piece on the back made of plastic or metal?
It's metal my friend
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you.
GSI Creos makes great stuff! Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the demo.
I just bought this from Spraygunner yesterday!!! It's coming Monday!! Great video brother!! I see the Iron Maiden box set!!
Up the Irons 🤘
I love mine I have the same 771 creos way cheaper than the iwata micron and I love your videos
Cool job on testing the airbrush, I shake too much for those little lines.
Nice brush!! Can the needle/nozzle be exchanged for different sizes? Nice test thanks for all you do for us out here.
Very very good 💯😊
Love it 😍
Nice backwash feature.
Great Review, I know I love my 770. And I was just at the Maiden concert here in Utah on my birthday great time was had by all.
I have one myself. Its a great and cheaper alternative to the Iwata custom micrron for fine detail.
I really like my gsi, should use more often, on another note Queensryche "Warning" #1.....
Looking forward to your next video
Back with more goodies for me to buy I see. Lol
I'd use this and keep the H&S in the box.

I saw them in PHX two weeks ago a d the show was better than I expected. If they head your way you have to go.
That a nice looking brush
Do they use teflon seals? I was looking at the cheaper version to go with my Iwata.
All name brands do.
Bewtween the NeoEco SJ-83 and the Gaahleri Mobius .3 I haven't a need for anything else. My Infinity CR+ is still my favorite but the Mobius has become my daily driver.

Normally there is no hose at all with an airbrush. The hose with mr hobby is for their aerosol can system, as was said in the video.
Your buying a top shelf air brush your really shouldn’t need a hose.
