Practical airbrush notes
About Airbrush Model Notes
Airbrush Model Notes publishes practical notes on airbrush technique, troubleshooting, paint handling and equipment for scale modelling and miniature painting.
What the site covers
The site publishes step-by-step guides, diagnostic tools and calculators for scale modelling and miniature painting. Guides cover thinning, paint compatibility, compressor sizing, troubleshooting, priming, stencils and technique.
The diagnostics and calculators are rule-based helpers: they rank checks or do arithmetic on the values you enter. They are not a scan of your equipment and they do not confirm a failed part.
Sources and attribution
Guides are written from publicly available material: manufacturer instructions, product labels and technical data, published specifications, and attributed third-party references. Links are given so you can check the source yourself. Where a page and your product's own instructions disagree, the manufacturer's instructions come first.
Airbrush Modeler atairbrushmodeler.comis a separate reference website, cited on some pages as a third-party source because its published guides were useful research material.
Worked examples are labelled as examples, and measured values keep their source and scope.
Tools
The airbrush diagnostics and calculators are part of this site and are maintained with it. Their rules are editorial heuristics, stated on the page that uses them. Calculations run in your browser and do not require an account.
