Good Airbrush?
Posted by TheMotherLand on Saturday, October 24, 2015 10:14 PM

I am looking to upgrade airbrushes for my military models.  I currently have a Badger 105 Patriot but I am looking for something that will give me a little more detailing abilities especially with free handing camo patterns.  I was looking at the Iwata-Medea High Performance Plus C Dual Action and just want to know if this would be a good purchase and is worth getting?

The HP.C plus is a very nice brush, in skilled hands it will give you very fine work. I reviewed it if you want to have a look.

Cheers from Mick.

I've got a H&S Evolution with .15mm needle. It goes incredibly small. I wouldn't recommend it if you spray acrylics (Tamiya and/or Mr. Hobby being the exceptions).

Thanks from me too.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Also with H&S brushes you can change needle sizes from .15 up to .6, there fine to use with any paint or thinner. I love my H&S brushes.

Don has a review on the Evolution:

I also reviewed my 3 H&S brushes.

I just recently upgraded to a Paasche Talon and love the fact that I can change needles and tips from .25 to .6 to accomodate any specific job. I also like the fact that it has the adjustable needle stop and the adjustable spring tension. I know everyone has their personal preferences; however, for my budget and justification, the Talon works great for me.

I have a Badger Renegade Velocity with .21 tip and I love how well it produces tight hair thin lines, specially handy for mottling and paint details on smaller scales.
