7 ml smooth surface gravity cup

The Gaahleri GA-40522 cup: gravity feed and polished interior surface for uninterrupted flow

When airbrushing demands real precision, accessories make as much difference as technique. This 7 ml gravity cup with Smooth Level interior design is intended for those working on static model decoration, figures, dioramas, and slot car parts, needing a reservoir that responds reliably with each pass.

Smooth Level interior design: no corners, no residues

The distinctive feature of this cup is its completely polished cavity, free of internal angles, steps, or recesses where paint can stagnate. This has two very direct practical consequences:

• Full fluid utilisation: paint reaches the needle down to the last drop, with no waste on the walls.
• Faster cleaning: with no accumulation areas, colour changes or thorough cleaning can be resolved in seconds, without the need for additional tools.

In long sessions with multiple colours — something common in figure decoration with Vallejo, Kaleido, or Tamiya — this engineering detail saves real time and reduces cleaning solvent consumption.

Gravity feed: low pressure, fine lines

The gravity system utilises the weight of the fluid to feed the nozzle naturally and continuously. This allows for working at lower air pressures, resulting in:

• Finer strokes and smoother blends.
• Lower risk of splatter or overspray.
• Greater control in glazing layers and diluted paint applications on miniatures or small parts.

7 ml capacity: the practical size for detail work

With a capacity of 7 ml, this cup occupies the right space between quick-use reservoirs (2-3 ml) and larger reservoirs for backgrounds or extensive surfaces. It is the size that best suits most decoration tasks: enough autonomy to complete a piece without reloading, and light enough to maintain the balance of the airbrush during long fine work sessions.

Compatibility and mounting

Designed as an original accessory of the Gaahleri range, it integrates directly into the brand's compatible airbrushes with a hermetic fit. The robust construction ensures no leaks during use or pressure loss in the feed system. Compatible with acrylic paints, lacquers, and common solvents used in modelling and decorative airbrushing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Smooth Level cup and a standard cup?

A standard cup may have small steps or internal joints where paint tends to accumulate. The Smooth Level design eliminates those areas with continuous polishing of the inner walls, improving flow and simplifying cleaning.

What type of work is the 7 ml capacity most suitable for?

It is especially useful in figure decoration, miniatures, dioramas, and slot car parts where multiple colours are used in the same session. It offers sufficient autonomy to cover a complete piece without being so large as to unbalance the airbrush.

Can I use this cup with water-based acrylic paints?

Yes. The construction materials are compatible with acrylic paints, lacquers, and the usual solvents in the modelling sector. As always, it is recommended to clean the cup immediately after each use to prolong its lifespan.

Does this cup replace the one that comes standard with the Gaahleri airbrush?

Yes, it is designed as an original interchangeable accessory of the Gaahleri range. It allows for switching between different capacities according to the type of work without needing to change the airbrush body.

Is a lid included?

The product description does not specify whether a lid is included. Please check the Gaahleri accessory compatibility sheet or contact us to confirm before placing your order.
