I was looking at the brush Sat morning too. After looking it over I put it back down and the guy behind me asked Ken if that was the new Patriot. I talked it up, telling the guy it was a killer deal. Ken told him it was the last one and the guy says "I'll take it!". You must have been right behind him.

I decided to buy, but put the brush down to go two tables down & check with a buddy running the MAL Hobbies stand on what kind of adapter I'd need to hook the brush up to my Harbor Freight airbrush hose.   Then I got back in line. 

He gave me some bum dope.  When I got home & checked the HF hose has an adapter for Badger.   Oh well, I spent three bucks for a Pasche to Badger adapter which I can't use.   I'll hold on to it.  Maybe some day

I presume that it is the IPMS National show price. Do Badger extend the special to forum readers who did not make it to the National?

I am really interested in how Badger positions this Patriot airbrush with respect to the 100LG and Renegade-Velocity airbrush.

I have one on the way for testing but I am guessing it is pretty much the equivelent of the Omni 4000 with the other nice features the Anthem has such as finger tight air cap, quick release needle chuck, etc.

You might want to look into the new Paasche Talon.  It's a gravity feed and you can get a kit with all the tips.

I just got mine and am playing around with it.  It isn't anything like the other Paasche airbrushes, completly new design.  

Here is a link if you are interested.

They are supposed to be demoing that new brush at the nat's this weekend.

Drop Ken at Badger an email and he should be able to hook you up. Nothing like going direct to the source.
