This channel is exactly what I needed. That trigger & grip, that presentation, that price...wow. I'm in the market for my first airbrush and the Swallowtail is the one.
Wow, thank you kindly, Kevin. If you want to get one of these, could I ask you to use my affiliate code with a 10% discount? 😉 www.gaahleri.com/discount/TheRaceForTerra010?ref=TheRaceForTerra
Would you say there were any particular dis/advantages to using the Swallowtail with regards the pistol grip? Any jobs you would prefer to/not to use it for? Never tried using that style of brush before due to their single-action nature, but I'm always easily tempted to consider new shiny things!
New shiny things indeed! I am really struggling to find any disadvantages, to be honest. I got used to it immediately, so the learning curve is not really a thing. A particular advantage is the paint on-air on-off transition, which is far more intuitive than on a normal airbrush. It has a halfway stop like some handguns, so you simply release till that stop and then it’s air only. Honestly, cannot recommend it enough. Still gotta try to e 0.7 and the 0.5 with the fan cap - those could be game changers for varnishing and priming.
@@TheRaceForTerra oh, so it's not actually a single action in that you retain control of air and paint separately? I didn't know that was a thing in pistol brushes! Combined with a firehose needle that actually makes this quite an attractive prospect for the likes of priming and varnishing, while retaining the precision needed for (at least) early colour application. Well bugger 😅
Unless they have fixed their general quality control you are late to the "hype" for these $20 cheep brushes that have been marked up. Dave's Airbrush did a very thorough run through about these brushes with a Blind buy. The brushes they send to be "reviewed" have been special brushes that receive far more attention that the normal ones sent out to customers. It is a shame you fell for this crap.
Mr. Beard, I guess Granpa Mark's Hobbies, Scale War Machines, and above all, *The Art Workshop* and *Dred FX Custom Studio Paint* , both of which have forgotten more about airbrushes than I could even learn, have all been duped as well? Or maybe it's all part of a great conspiracy? In any case, I wouldn't mind buying the same two airbrushes anonymously and testing them again - could be part of my long-term review.
@@TheRaceForTerraSeeing how you have deleted all my comments that I made to clarify my position it seems that you have taken to sticking your head in the sand in terms this company.

Very interesting! I'm grateful for the comparison between your airbrushes. That swallowtail is particularly intriguing.

@@pawlshepherd Damn, I thought that was obvious? Did you not see the part with the highlights, or was it still not clear? 🤔
It would appear that I missed it somehow, sorry! It's likely my fault for not paying attention properly - it's a long time since I've been in school 😜
@@pawlshepherd Hahah, but I’m not so sure now, maybe I should have explained it better!
Crikey, they really do look tempting...
Hahah, that they do! Will likely have a giveaway in a few months, so maybe you’ll win one of these next? 😉
@@TheRaceForTerra ooooh, I'll have to swot up for that then!
