I've got a 350 and it is surprisingly good on 1/72 aircraft. I completed a small Bf 109G-6 and the complicated paint scheme looks awsome an din some cases better than some 1/48 paint jobs that I have seen done with double action airbrushes!![Smile [:)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile.gif) I f your wanting to produce fine spray lines crank the pressure down to about 15psi and thin your paint to the ratio of about 60:40 thinner to paint this has kelped me produce excellent results with my 350 on 1/72 aircraft!

For doing camo, I'd lean more toward a Badger 200. It can paint fine lines, but since it is single action is still easy to use.

we've got similar experiences. i painted with the 350 two 1/72 Luftwaffe aircraft, and it worked great. here's an example on my 1/72 Bf 109G-6:
Overall the 350 is an awesome airbrush. for the 1/72 camos, i used the fine tip.

I'd recommend that you lean more towards an internal mix airbrush. The external mix brushes create a more coarse pattern than internal mix. My personal choice would always be a double-action as opposed to a single action as well. Gravity feed, siphon feed, it's a toss up in my book. I have both and they both have pluses and minuses.

I've used nothing but a badger 350 for the past couple of years. It has been great for basecoating and fairly broad camo. The atomization is a little coarse but this usually gets covered up by weathering. I need to do some finer camo now so I have bought an Iwata Revoloution CR double action internal mix. I still use the badger for broad painting as it is really easy to use, break down, and clean (i.e. about 2 minutes).
If I had more experience when shopping for airbrushes, I would likely have saved some cash by skipping the badger and picking up the Iwata in the first place.
