Before I upload Silent Soul part 2, thought I'd get this tutorial out of the way. I suppose this could be part 1, as I haven't shown how to actually use it. Though, in Silent Soul part 2, I will be using an airbrush. I'll try and cover everything you'll need to do in Silent Soul part 2.

Anyways, as far is this tutorial goes, I didn't do the best job explaining. I'll explain the steps below in taking it apart.

1. Unscrew the top needle to the point in which it is loose; counter clock-wise.
2. Tug back slightly on the end of the base needle. This is below the ball shaped support.
3. Unscrew the top needle completely and take it off it's supporting base.
4. Set top needle aside.
5. Pull back the base through the ball shaped support.
6. Unscrew the aircap.
7. Clean all parts. If you are using acrylic paints, read up on what solvents to use. As far as latex, I know no cleaning methods. Sorry :(!

So thats how you clean it, sortofnotreally, so yeah! Sorry this didn't seem incredibly informative but it was the only part that I personally had trouble with. I figured if other people might of had trouble with this part so I just wanted a visual representation. I'm personally a visual learner so, thought I'd make this easier for people.

Hope I helped!

Stay tuned!

[ShadowMakerOfMasks]

@ahadachek Anytime, Glad I could help haha!

There really needs to be more tutorials for this airbrush on youtube because I have a ton of rambling in my video.

[fasfan]

You forgot the important step of loosening the retaining allen screw on the bottom of the "ball thingy."

[ShadowMakerOfMasks]

@fasfan I sure did, didn't I? Doh! Haha, ah well. Hopefully this will get bumped to the top so every one can see. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey I just got this set brand new for 25$ at a flee marketI thinks its a H-set??.I guess its a good deal..This is my second airbrush.I had a Testors one with different tips.I have no idea on how to airbrush or mix paints..I will try to learn what I can do and how to do it from you tube..

Acetone should clean it up. I would recommend to do it in a ventilated area.

@fasfan helped a lot, i was struggling on a clogged one with ceramic paint...this vid saved me, think it's the only one of it's kind.

this brush is so simple and the needle sizes are for thicker -thinner paints.You can take the biggest size needle and match it with the smallest tip and have a big opening for latex paints but the smaller tip condenses the air flow down to give you more detail.I love this gun for masks and big area work but not detail work

thanks sooooooooooooooooooooo much! I use Badger AIr Opaque AB cleaner............... Works for me!

@ahadachek be to thanks!

It's a good basic airbrush and more durable than double action. The video may not be the best, but it reflects some of the trials many have faced in our first days of airbrushing. Thanks for the video and thanks to all for comments.

Can anyone give any insight into what reasons you'd use different sized aircaps and needles? Is it for thicker or thinner paint?
