OK,
          I just got this off of evil bay.

Click Here.

And then realized that it was the older model HP-C not the newer HP-C plus.

Please someone tell whether I  just made a big mistake?

BTW, they are guaranteeing against DOA.

 

Thanks

Scott

Scott,

Let us know whether this old C is a step up from your Iwata CR.

I prefere the older design to the new plus design. The newer ones are a bit easier to clean, and you get the preset handle, but in my honest opinion, I find the older ones to be better balanced. A matter of taste, probably.

Better an airbrush in the hand, than ten in the car....Stick out tongue

I like the older HP-C also.  The newer ones feel nose-heavy.

Yes, I made a big mistake or yes it's a good deal?

 

Leave it to Manny to give such a detailed opinion. LOL.

The model is inconsequential. Practice and you will get great results.

I don't even know if Manny knows what an airbrush is. Stick out tongue

I suppose one needs to figure out which end of the airbrush to point to the model before he can practice. Devil

Did they have airbrushes on the Eastern Front? Because I heard they painted on the whitewash using mops. I sure hope Manny doesn't use mops to paint his models... :)
