Airbrush Comparison Chart
Posted by Don Wheeler on Sunday, July 29, 2012 10:16 PM

I have added a simple comparison chart to my site of all the airbrushes I have reviewed. Comments or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Don

Thanks Don! It's a quick and valuable way to summarize all the work you have put into your website, which is the most comprehensive, factual comparison of AB's I have ever read. I appreciate your dedication, and I'm sure many others do as well.

It is a very handy reference for airbrush shoppers. It is particularly useful because some manufacturers do not want to publish detail specifications of their product.

It is even more confusing when buyer's guide such as the one published by airbrushaction.com posted the nozzle sizes all wrong.

When I purchased my Badger 105 Patriot 2 years ago. The standard (medium) nozzle is 0.76 mm. You must order the fine needle Patriot if you want the 0.5 mm nozzle. I check webairbrushes.com, they still carry fine and medium needle for the Partriot and have a "Fine Conversion Kit" (Parts # 41-045). Do you know what do they ship with now? Just curious.   .

Thanks, guys.

Kei -- I have no idea what the 105 ships with now.  I only know mine came with the .5mm tip.  The manual, which you can download from their site, has the Anthem .76mm tip and needle listed as "adaptable medium airbrush parts".  That would indicate to me that the fine parts are the standard.  On the other hand, their description of the brush still says:

Its two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Patriot’s cone shaped nozzle, enabling a single needle/nozzle configuration to spray a variety of materials, while eliminating the need for multiple needle/nozzle variations.

That sounds more like the .76mm tip and needle.  Badger documentation is not always the best.
