The Tamiya 74522 Spray Work Painting Stand Set includes a couple of handy stands—a body stand and a turntable stand, each with its perks.
According to the manufacturer's product description, the body stand is designed to securely hold model bodies, like those 1/24 scale cars you might be working on. You can adjust the clips to keep your models nice and steady while you paint, which really helps when you're trying to get those smooth, even paint coats.
The turntable stand has a 16 cm diameter and comes with various-sized holes and four spring clips. This setup lets you attach all sorts of parts, whether they're still on the sprue or temporarily attached with simple things like a pencil. It's pretty handy for working on those tricky, detailed bits or even a few parts at the same time.
From our research, folks generally praise how easy it is to move models around on the rotating turntable. Being able to rotate stuff while painting means you get better paint coverage and you're less likely to make a mess with overspray. Model hobbyists seem to love that, especially when they’re working on those tiny details and awkward angles.
But not everyone has a perfectly smooth experience. Some people mention that the spring clamps might shift out of place sometimes. A few have come up with creative fixes—like using rubber bands—for that little issue.
Despite these minor hiccups, most folks seem to think the stands are a great addition to their gear, offering a reliable platform that makes painting a bit easier.
So, if you're into model painting, the Tamiya 74522 stands seem like they could definitely come in handy!
