Airbrush as a gift.

Hey guys;

I received an airbrush as a Christmas gift from my stepson. It is a Master MAS G22 from Airbrush Depot. I’ve never heard of it. Is it a decent piece of equipment and what about replacement parts? Price runs at $40. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve Gorder

Steve I am not familliar with your Airbrush. I did a quick Google of Airbrush Depot which comes up at www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/ and they have an exploded view with parts avilable for yours.

Can’t say that I ever heard of it either. No doubt the MAS G22 is an inexpensive knock-off of an Iwata (at least it looks similar on the outside). I’m sure that it is a fine airbrush. No worry about replacement parts which you can order from Airbrush Depot. You probably won’t need them in any case because airbrushes are fairly reliable and don’t usually break. Most problems that do arise are solved by a good cleaning. If the thing does go kaput and Airbrush Depot has no parts, throw it away and buy a Badger. In the meantime, enjoy.

Master G22 is clearly a copy of Iwata HP-C and it should be good.

Steve,

I have not used that model, but have seen them on the net. I’d be interested to hear your opinions and experiences regarding this airbrush as “knockoff” or copies of other priven designs are very hit and miss.

Thanks and good luck!

Steve, please, share your experience with this G22 AB.

I finally got an Iwata Eclipse CS after using a single action Paasche for many years. When I shopped, I was amazed by how many Iwata knock-off were out there, including many Iwata online dealers. But there are few, if any, reviews on how well the knock-off can do the job comparing to the Iwata. I ordered from TCP/Airbrush_depot before and they are a reputable dealer. I hope that they do a good job evaluating and marketing the Master brand AB’s.
