Hi Steve,
Yes they are good for weathering but they need servicing before you start. If you go on Amazon and look up Fengda FE-130K I`ve done a picture review of what to do. ( they are not solvent proof unless you change one seal, the nozzle one, which I replace with a thin strip of PTFE tape wound round the tiny nozzle)
And polish the needle...............................
You would be better off getting the very capable Gaahleri GHAD 39 which has the floating nozzles and has PTFE seals at all paint contact areas.
Currently £ 44 on Amazon ( sometimes is special offer at £27) and you get spare ptfe seals , lubricant and 0.35 and .05 needles and nozzles, two sizes of cups. Far superior to the Neo.
Actually I cheated a bit on the loco body. The tender was airbrushed with the bd-130 , the loco body with the GHAD 39 Just to compare...
The top one below.................
This has English sub titles but is the only one that has the bd-130 doing fine lines
