Paasche H question

Hi redraider56, you will definitely be able to pre-shade with it.

I used to use a Paashe H exclusively, and always preshaded 1/72 scale aircraft without any dramas.

In terms of "how fine" - i don't know, that will depend on your own experience.  I would assume my preshading for 1/72 was probably around 1mm - 1.5mm or so.

The key is to move the tip further up where it locks in (if that makes sense), so the butt of the tip is almost touching the area with the locking nut.  Thinner than normal paint and slightly lower airpressure, then get in nice and close.

I won't lie, it's a lot harder than if you were using a dual action gravity feed, but it can be done - just requires decent amounts of practice.

Good luck

Chris.

Thanks Chris, that helps alot.  I work with 1/48 aircraft so it sounds like it should work.  Tomorrow is a painting (trial and error probly lol) day so hopefully all goes well!

There's a sample in my Paasche H review.

Thank you much Don, that helps as well

Actually, I forgot about Don's review.  I think that was probably where I learnt to use mine - so well worth reading.

PS: Don's example looks like it beats anything I'm capable of, and he's using a No. 3 needle and tip! 

It's a good example of what can be achieved with practice though.

But, I'm spraying ink on a paper towel.  It shows what the airbrush can do under ideal conditions, and it makes up for my lack of skill.  Paint on plastic is a lot trickier.
