Omni 4000 and 5000

LOL I shouldn't be the one answering as they're certainly worth $25 if they're in good condition, and I would buy them just to have in the collection.

Would they be better? Frankly, not really. Pretty equivalent airbrushes.

Would these two brushes offer me anything over what I already enjoy in my Iwata CR and HP-CS?

I think that you are supposed to try the Omni's, decide whether you want to keep them or the Iwata's and come back here to tell us why.

Opinions officially asked for.

p.s. I will take the Omni 4000 and test it for you. I will pay $25 plus shipping for it. Let me know where to Paypal by PM. I am also an Iwata HP-CS user.

Thanks for the input.

The guy that owns these is a good friend of mine and a Finescale featured modeler. They have been very well cared for and very used also. They are not very old, two years at the very most for each. I'm considering picking them up to add to the AB arsenal but to be honest, I'm not sure I'd ever use them. At the moment (well, when I model. Havent touched the bench in five months) my main tool is the CR. The HP-CS backs up the CR with a finer line ability. I have a BR for those larger projects.

Admittedly, the HP-CS and the BR rarely ever see the air hose so I'm not to sure I have a use for the 4k and 5k.

I have not had ANY complaint against my Iwata HP-CS (so far). I am adament about using an airbrush that I can find spare needle and nozzle locally (at Hobby Lobby). It has to be a knock-out comparison to get me to change to another airbrush. I can't imagine what it may be. May be a "self cleaning" airbrush if such a thing exists.

But $25 for the Omni 4000 that the great MikeV raves about. It is an offer I cannot say "no" to. But nobody makes such an offer to me yet.

I bought a Iwata CR and sold my Omni 4000 for $110.00 about a year ago. Yes I would buy them for resell. The profit margin on this deal could be wicked sick.

Great deal, go for it!

 

I passed them up. I considered buying them and passing them on to someone on the forums but I figured the rules would frown on selling them through the forum. Besides, it may have only been fifty bucks but it's rent week and I didn't want to spend the funds. One of the other guys bought them, he needed an upgrade anyway.
