Model Spray Guns

These tools are perfect for mid to large scale modelling projects where you need a consistent finish over a significant surface area. They are excellent for custom motorcycle paintwork, RC car bodies, large scale figures, and prop making. If you have moved beyond the fine detail work of airbrushing and need to apply a durable, high quality topcoat or clear coat to a larger structure, these spray guns provide the perfect balance of control and efficiency.

The nozzle size dictates how much paint is delivered and how fine the atomisation will be. For most model work, nozzle sizes between 0.8mm and 1.2mm are standard. A smaller nozzle is ideal for thinner materials or more controlled, smaller scale work, while a slightly larger nozzle allows for faster coverage when you are applying primer or topcoats over larger areas. Always select the nozzle based on the paint thickness and the scale of the object you are painting.

These mini spray guns generally operate at higher air volumes and pressures than a standard fine detail airbrush. While some hobby compressors may suffice, it is important to check the technical specifications of the gun regarding air consumption. You may need a compressor with a larger tank capacity to ensure a steady supply of air, preventing pressure drops during painting which could lead to an uneven or patchy finish.
