How to use

Shake each bottle of Model Air paint before use and, if required for finer atomization, thin according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Fill the gravity-feed cup of the Ultra H.S. airbrush, set the air pressure appropriate for the chosen nozzle size and paint viscosity, and test spray on a scrap surface. Work in thin passes to build color and achieve smooth gradients; allow sufficient drying time between layers. Clean the airbrush thoroughly with the included airbrush cleaner after each session to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Use moderate air pressure and thin layers for best control when painting small details. Store 17 ml bottles upright in the provided carrying case and rinse the airbrush immediately after use to prevent paint buildup. Consult the included color chart to plan mixes and layering for accurate color matching.
