Description
Harder & Steenbeck Ultra 2024 Airbrush — SKU 120231
The Ultra 2024 is the airbrush Harder & Steenbeck designed specifically for people who are new to airbrushing. Rather than stripping out features to hit a lower price, H&S have built in three intelligent control systems that actively help beginners avoid the most common mistakes — inconsistent colour flow, clogging, and loss of control over spray width. The result is an airbrush that teaches good technique as you use it.
At £79.16 it is the most accessible airbrush in our Harder & Steenbeck range, and a genuine step up from budget alternatives. Built in Germany to H&S standards, with a 0.45mm nozzle set-up and a 5ml colour cup.
Three control systems that make the difference
- Start Control — a full double action trigger engineered to eliminate common beginner mistakes. Gives you precise, repeatable control of both air and colour from your first session.
- Colour Control — a 5-step system that pre-sets the perfect trigger positions for the five key techniques: priming, basing, glazing, and two stages of highlighting. Removes the guesswork from setting up each pass.
- Clog Control — a headset design that exposes the needle tip so you can see it, clean it easily, and protect it from damage. A clean needle is the single biggest factor in preventing colour clogging.
