Biting the bullet - first airbrush

Gravity feeds are less parts to keep up with... no jars or lids with tubes. When you're done painting, flushing out the airbrush in one shot takes care of everything with a gravity feed. But, some people are spraying directly from the paint jars now especially MM Acryl which needs no thinner. You'd need a siphon feed if you want to do that.

I like small cup gravity brushes such as Omni 5000. They really do hold enough paint for almost every job in model building. Compared to big cups like an Omni 4000, they're easier to get all the paint out of the bottom pool. I like having less to hold in my hand and less airbrush parts occassionally obstructing view.

I probably should have gotten a Vega 1000 since it has 3 head assemblies. Maybe I'll find out from someone here if the Vega head assemblies work on Omni bodies. I search the forums, and it seems no one here has commented on the T&C "Badger" Vegas.

Hey keith
I just got Badgers 100LG gravity airbrush a few weeks ago and I can tell you its one of the best airbrushes I've used in the time I 've been modeling , Its great because its easy to clean and it can produce nice llines by using the adjusting screw on the top which helps you to have thin consistant lines by working similar to a single action airbrush [only having to push the trigger down], another good feature is its cheap price [$69] which is cheap compared with other brushes on the market. You also get a extremly good quality airbush as its made by the totally reliable badger! I would suggest the 100LG with the medium head as it is the best all-rounder in terms of things you can do, any way i hope your new airbrush will bring you many hours of joyfull modelling.
