Polished surface cup 15ml

A cup designed for uninterrupted work with your Gaahleri Advanced Series

The reference GA-40515 is the 15ml replacement fluid cup for the Gaahleri Advanced Series airbrushes. Its distinguishing feature is the Smooth Level technology: an especially polished inner finish that minimises pigment friction with the walls, promoting a constant flow and preventing sediments from adhering to the container during the session.

Function and performance

With a 15ml capacity, this cup is ideal for modelling or decoration projects that require a larger loading volume than smaller cups, allowing for continuous work without interruption for refills. The polished inner surface directly impacts two of the most critical points of the airbrush: flow consistency and ease of maintenance.

• Smooth Level inner surface that minimises pigment adhesion.
• 15ml capacity for long sessions without frequent refills.
• Specifically designed as a replacement part for the Gaahleri Advanced Series.
• Connection via slot to the airbrush body with airtight sealing.

Compatibility and assembly

This cup is manufactured to integrate into the connection system of the Gaahleri Advanced Series airbrushes. The fit in the connection slot ensures a stable attachment that does not compromise airtightness during use, which is especially relevant when working with low-viscosity paints or very fine dilutions, common in modelling techniques with brands like Vallejo or Tamiya.

If you regularly use several colours during a single session, having a spare cup like the GA-40515 allows you to reduce downtime between changes: you can clean the used cup at your leisure while working with the one that is mounted.

Assembly and preparation

The replacement process is straightforward: remove the installed cup from the airbrush, insert the GA-40515 into the connection slot until you feel it click, and verify that the sealing is correct before loading the paint. No tools or additional adjustments are required. To get the most out of the Smooth Level finish, it is recommended to rinse the cup with the appropriate solvent for the paint used before the first load.

Ideal for…

This cup fits particularly well into the workflows of static model builders, figure painters, and diorama artists who already have a Gaahleri Advanced Series airbrush and want to have an operational spare cup, or to replace a damaged cup without needing to purchase a new airbrush. It is also a good option for those working with dense pigmented paints who seek an advantage in maintaining clean equipment due to the inner finish.

Frequently asked questions

Which Gaahleri airbrushes is this cup compatible with?

The GA-40515 is designed for the Gaahleri Advanced Series airbrushes. If you have doubts about whether your specific model is compatible, consult your airbrush documentation or contact us before placing your order.

What real advantage does the Smooth Level finish provide over a standard cup?

The polished inner surface reduces pigment adhesion to the walls of the container. This results in a more homogeneous flow to the airbrush body and quicker cleaning at the end of the session, as residues do not become embedded in microporosities.

Can I use this cup with water-based acrylic paints, such as Vallejo or Tamiya?

Yes. The cup is suitable for water-based acrylic paints, which are the most common in static model building, figure painting, and dioramas. Just make sure to clean it with the appropriate solvent for each type of paint.

Does the cup come with any sealing accessories or is it plug-and-play?

The cup connects directly to the airbrush's union slot without the need for additional gaskets or external sealing accessories. The design of the connection itself ensures airtightness.

Is this cup suitable for long sessions with the same colour?

Its 15ml capacity makes it a good choice for sessions where a considerable volume of the same colour is applied, such as base coating models or painting large surfaces in dioramas, avoiding frequent stops for refills.

The Gaahleri GA-40515 is a 15ml replacement gravity cup for the Gaahleri Advanced Series airbrush range.
