Skybow | AP-200 Airbrush

Reviewed by Floyd S. Werner, Jr.

Ever wanted the results of an Iwata airbrush but without the Iwata costs? Well wait no longer. Wings n’ Treads is importing Skybow Airbrushes with all the features of an Iwata at a third of the costs.

This double action airbrush has a .2mm head with a small 2cc paint reservoir. The airbrush is nicely balanced and has the feel of quality to it. I’ve sprayed acrylics and enamels through it and was able to get great results. There is a handle adjustment features to limit paint flow so that it can give you consistent paint flow.

In the box you get the airbrush, hose adapter, disassembly wrench and a parts listing. Disassembly is easy and clean up is a breeze. Just like any other double action airbrush. The handle has some rubber o-rings around it for your comfort.

The airbrush does not have a cover for the paint cup, but the detail work you can do with this brush typically doesn’t take a significant amount of paint.

If there is a downside to this brush it would you have to buy a separate Iwata hose. This is not a big deal and even after buying the hose your cost for a high quality airbrush is significantly less than the Iwata.

If you are looking for a new airbrush and want a good quality one this is the airbrush for you. I have a rule about tools. I don’t mind spending the money on tools because they can always be used on multiple models and for a long time. Replacement parts, such as needles, can be purchased directly from Wings n’ Treads.

I highly recommend this airbrush.

You can order your airbrush from www.wingsntreads.com. Make sure you tell them you heard it from me.

Thanks to Wings n’ Treads for the review copy.
