Fengda Airbrush Kit with Compressor Set FD-186K with Compressor FD-186, Airbrush BD-130 and Accessories

Only had this a few days but so far this kit is amazing for a beginner like me. I haven't painted models in 20 years and back then airbrushing was expensive. I wanted to paint some model kits I have had for 10 - 12 years and wanted to do them properly. This kit had everything I needed and seemed like good value for money. The instructions are practically useless, so you will need to watch some youtube videos for in details cleaning/maintenance of the airbrush etc...but to get up and running is pretty easy. The instructions are just very, very basic. Compressor is not too loud, and only runs when it needs to fill the tank. it will run hot, compressors all do, but its so much cheaper than using cans. Noise level isn't intrusive but its not whisper quiet obviously. A closed door will largely mute it. The air brush seems good for a beginner like me who only wants to prime and coat models in 1 colour. Reviews online on other forums say its good for practice but will need replacing after 6-12 months when you have better skills. The paints are good for practicing as they dont seem to have a very high pigment. One thing Iwould suggest is to buy an airbrush cleaning pot, or a set that provides one. Clean up can be very messy otherwise. It's a very good starter kit and well recommended on forums for Warhammer etc on Reddit.

I am very impressed with the manufacturing quality of all parts of this kit. It is easy to use and has produced good results for someone new to using this type of system.

This is my first airbrush compressor and I was specifically looking for one with a tank for painting Airfix because you get a smoother flow of air and I am amazed with it. It's actually very quiet so very suitable for airbrushing in the evening. Adjusting the pressure is also very easy and has a maximum of 4 bar which is nice but obviously way too much for miniatures and Airfix. It goes all the way down to 1 bar but below that I can't get any air to come out so that's your absolute minimum. The only downside is the airbrush itself, it's a dual action one but there seems to be very little control on the amount of paint it just seems like "on or off" so fine detail spraying may be out of the question here, it also only comes with a 0.2mm needle which again is okay but detail work may be abit too much to ask for but hey it came free with the compressor and it does work so what do I have to complain about?

This is my first airbrush and compressor, which I got for my scale model hobby. The compressor is great, the airbrush not so much. After four months I can say I'm very happy with the compressor (FD-186) at least. I live in a flat so I wanted something small and reasonably quiet. This compressor is about the size of two large loaves of bread - and it's about as loud as a fridge compressor, so I'm confident it won't bother the neighbours! It feels solidly built, has adjustable PSI, nice rubber feet, and the air tank means the compressor isn't running constantly. Unfortunately the airbrush (FE-130) leaves something to be desired. It works - sometimes - but you can tell it's cheap. The nozzles had seals that broke easily and on one of the nozzles the thread broke while I was tightening it. Some of the metal is cheap and brittle and parts (e.g. the needle chuck) have started to bend after four months of use. When it works, it's okay, but I feel like I'm constantly fighting against issues with the brush. On an average session I seem to spend an hour actually painting and two hours cleaning and fixing whatever's broken this time. The other parts of the bundle are okay. The included paint set is actually quite good, and the cleaning kit is okay, although the bristles on the cleaning brushes tend to detatch quite easily. In retrospect I probably would have bought this same model of compressor separately and invested in a higher quality airbrush.

Everything you need to get you started. I advise you buy some different paint and some cleaning sprays, the paints included dry easily on the tip and can cause problems, hard to thin and don’t leave a consistent surface. That’s a paint problem not a compressor/airbrush problem. The airbrush isn’t fantastic but I use it more than my harder and steenbeck as it’s cheaper to replace parts of mistakes happen.

I am a relatively beginner in the use if airbrushes. However i bought this compressor as it was recommended by many websites as a good starter compressor for airbrushing. I have had this compressor for about 8 months now and i have had no problems with it. You can control the pressure with the value and it contains a tank so that compressor doesn’t need to be constantly working. It is somewhat loud when the compressor is on but not painfully so and once it fills up the tank again it switches off. Its not the most compact/streamlined in its shape. However having said this i have transported it in a bag across the city by foot without a problem. Most of the time it will sit in your painting room so this doesn’t matter anyway. Overall i am very satisfied with this compressor. It is easy to use and comes with everything you need including hose and mini cleaning set. I use it for airbrushing minatures for wargaming and haven’t had a problem. The set i bought comes with an airbrush as standard for very little extra. The air brush is functional and i have continued to use this. For my purposes (undercoating models, trying my hand at some blending) it functions well. I can see that it isn’t necessarily an airbrush i will use long term as i imagine things like the trigger control, needle size and also smaller things like ease of access for cleaning aren’t in the same level as say a harder and steenbeck device. However for a pack in airbrush i was impressed. Before buying this product I had contemplated shelling out for a harder and steenbeck airbrush and a high end compressor. I am very glad that i didn’t this product has served me well and whilst i may go on to upgrade the airbrush i don’t see a need to go for a more expensive compressor. I would recommend this product for any beginners in airbrushing as well as anyone who wants a replacement compressor.

I called this punchy kit as it does pack a punch - smooth quiet operation with a tank to even out pressure delivery which it does easily. Great kit, great price, well engineered that is ideally suited to the task. Not just a compressor as with the tank, gauge, moisture trap provides a professional set-up.

This is my first airbrush and I am by no means an expert painter but I love, love, love this set. I don't know how I functioned without it. The compressor has an auto shut off feature so it's silent when not in use, even when it's working I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was. The airbrush itself is easy to operate and holds a good amount of paint. Cleaning can be a bit of a pain expecially at first but I've found great videos online to help. It took me a fair bit of experimentation to get the consistency of the paint right but I think that was more me being overly picky. A great set I'd buy again and recomend
