Badger 250-2
Posted by tbhalomaster on Saturday, October 23, 2010 8:28 PM

I want to get a simple external mix airbrush, just for apllying base coats and such. I found the Badger 250-2, and it seams good for me, and it's in my price range. Has anyone use this brush, and is it good? Any other recommendations? I don't need it for a while yet. Thanks.

You can see my review of it here.  It can put down a nice coat, but it takes a little practice.  You really should have a compressor for this or any airbrush.  And, if you're going to put down the money for a compressor, you might want to consider paying a little more and getting an airbrush with a needle.  Have a look at my other reviews.  The Paasche H and Badger 350 are a step up and will give you better control.  With better control, you will waste less paint.

Thanks, that review helps. This will be my first airbrush, so I want one easy to clean and use.  I am getting pretty good with spray cans, such as dullcote, so it seems good for me. My dad has a compressor, but I'd need to get a relulator and a water trap. Also, I now a place that should have it, and they have coupons, so I can get it for a pretty good deal. Thanks.
