Big bucks AB does a super job
Posted by wing_nut on Thursday, November 6, 2008 9:36 AM

Well that may be, but so do the cheapies.  The question of cheap AB's came up in the Armor section.  A buddy on mine from my club, Dan Spera, shows what can be done with a $16 Harbor Freight airbrush.  The kit is 1/48 scale and painted freehand.

Here the link to the AB

Yep, it's true. I have both expensive and inexpensive AB's and they both work just fine.

That is true BUT......those cheap knock offs don't normally last long or they are temperamental in getting them to spray reliably.

Spend a little extra and get a Badger and it will last you a lifetime.

Or any other name brand if you prefer them. 

 

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
