The IPMS/USA recently began receiving items for review from Gaahleri. The company is relatively new and first introduced airbrushes and has since expanded into the production of their own line of paints. Kaleido ColorWorks is their premium sub-brand of water-based paints, which are developed with RapidAir Technology. In addition to all the individual colors, Gaahleri also has sets of paints available for consumers.

Packaging

The Gaahleri conversion kit for the Mobius-TG Premium Series comes well-packed in a small hanger box for the needle, which contains a foam insert containing the secured needle. The packaging indicates the needle size and SKU on a sticker on the rear of the packaging. The cap and nozzle are both contained in sturdy blister packs that are also suitable for hanging. Each component is labeled with the Gaahleri SKU and component size for the 0.3mm cap and nozzle.

The Components

The components are well packaged and come with no damage or irregularity. Once removed from the packaging, the process of applying the conversion began.

Gaahleri is a company that burst onto the North America scene first back in 2023 with a new line of airbrushes that quickly became very popular among modelers and artists. I received a Gaahleri Mobius this past Christmas, and it has quickly become my new go-to airbrush. When I found out they were releasing the new Kaleido Colorworks paint line, I had to jump on the chance to check them out.

What’s Inside the Box

The set I am reviewing here is the 24 Mecha Colors set and features vibrant colors, as well as bottles of thinner and cleaner. The box is a lift-off and inside everything is well protected with foam inserts. The paints are water-based acrylics and are factory pre-thinned for immediate use. According to their documentation, the paints are powered by RapidAir™ Technology, which addresses common water-based paint issues, such as beading, uneven coverage, and sagging, by applying in a smooth, sheet-like layer. The set includes the following colors:
