I did. I've done it 3 times with this kit. Every time i airbrush it, the paint pools up. I've used 3 different paints, and nothing works

you've thinned too much, or you've not prepped the model correctly.

Well it's not magic, you've clearly done something wrong. That's how tool use and learning a skill works, you get things wrong and correct those mistakes to get better, work out what you're doing wrong and correct it.

That was just an example, you could be doing other things wrong as well. Did you wash the kit to remove mold release before you started? Are you using your airbrush correctly?

ok, well are you following an online tutorial or just expecting to be spoonfed on here? There's mountains of information about toy/miniature painting online, I'd suggest following some series on youtube or something to learn to airbrush.

Ok, well you're not looking to blow the model away, you just want it to be strong enough to get the paint onto the model. Weaker is better, as long as you're getting an actual spray and not globs of paint flying out.

It doesn't send any paint out, but the blowback still works. I clean the needle and insides after ever paint.

I'm not super familiar with airbrushes but it does sound like the one you got isn't functioning well.

You should use one of those chemicals that break up surface tension, which is causing the paint to pool up.
Depending on the paint type (water based acrylics), you can use plain ol' alcohol and use that to thin your paints along with just water.

or buy this.

This is enamel thinned with enamel thinner. I painted the piece another time and it dried well, but if you shine it to the light you'll see the paint is goopy. I just want it to look like what it looks like with a spray can. Really smooth.

I think its the air brush. I bought a cheap cordless one off amazon, and it can't even push out acryllics.
