The LPG Essentials Airbrush Starter Kit is everything needed to start airbrushing in one box: a tanked compressor, a dual-action gravity-feed airbrush, the hose to join them and a cleaning pot and brush set to look after it. It is put together by Let's Play Games for miniature and model painters, and the parts are chosen to work as a set rather than as the cheapest version of each.

The compressor is the part that matters most. It is a 1/5 HP twin-cylinder unit with a 3-litre air tank, which means it runs to pressure, shuts off automatically and only restarts when the tank drops – so there is no pulsing at the needle, far less noise in the room, and no fighting a motor that runs the whole time you paint. A regulator with pressure gauge and moisture trap sits on the outlet so you can dial in 15–20 PSI for fine work or more for priming, with dry air. It comes with an Australian plug and sits on rubber feet with a carry handle.

The ES7502 airbrush is a dual-action, gravity-feed design with a 0.3mm needle and 7cc cup – the all-round size for base coats, blends and detail on figures, vehicles and aircraft – with a pipette for loading the cup. The cleaning pot has a glass jar, a lidded spray port that traps overspray when flushing the brush, and a stand to park the airbrush in; three cleaning brushes handle the nozzle and body.
