Compact Tamiya 74802 Sparmax Airbrush Built for Model Builders

The Tamiya 74802 Sparmax airbrush is built to be versatile for modelling tasks, offering a 0.5mm nozzle that suits a range of paint types including acrylics, enamels and lacquers. It is a solid option for both hobbyists and those refining their spray technique.

Notable Features of the Sparmax 0.5mm

The 0.5mm nozzle balances coverage and control, useful for larger surfaces such as 1/16 armour or common aircraft scales. The built-in 15cc paint cup lets you work longer between refills, which helps when tackling whole models or large panels.

Design elements like paint-drip reducing grooves and a needle cover with fluororesin packing improve handling and resistance to thinner solvents, extending usable life and performance stability.

Compatibility Notes and Practical Tips

This airbrush pairs well with a variety of Tamiya compressors including the Spray-Work Compact and the HG Air Compressor Revo II, offering flexibility whether you are doing fine shading or broader basecoats.

Yes, thinned acrylics work well through the 0.5mm nozzle as long as they are properly mixed and strain filtered before use.
For many projects the 15cc cup is sufficient, but for extended basecoating you may prefer refilling or using a larger feed system.
The fluororesin packing on the needle cover resists thinner fluids better than standard materials, helping to avoid swelling or deterioration.
Mid to larger scales like 1/32, 1/48 aircraft and 1/16 armour get good coverage from a 0.5mm nozzle without losing too much precision.
