The #3 tip is, like the fellas have already metioned, is good...an over-all good tip for many tasks. I would also suggest the #1 tip as well, as it's actual size messures right at .5mm and is capable of all-around base coating as well as fine detail. What I do for fine work with acrylics (Tamiya) is to thin it with 70% Isoprophol) 1:1and turn up the compressor to around 30 PSI. For general sprayingie. base caots, I simply thin the paint 2:1 and turn down the air to approx. 15-20 psi. Works great. I've used the #1 tip even for large 1/72nd scale models, such as the big B-52, for example. After the base colors were airbrushed, I came back with the camo colors and was able to free-hand very well atomized fine line demarcation with it. To round out my Passche H, I simply purchased (1) of each tip, #1, #3, and #5 to cover any forseen application. Just a suggestion, works great, good atomization, and I haven't had to replace any tip in over 6 years. I purchased the parts from www.Dixieart.com (very inexpensive). So why not try the #1 tip?
Have fun and happy modeling!
