Badger's new Model 135B Spray Booth
Posted by MikeV on Tuesday, December 6, 2005 3:38 PM
Have any of you bought one of these or seen them anywhere?
I was curious if you liked them or not.
I have one coming to review and thought I would see if you had any experience with them.

Thanks

Mike

I put together the booth today and it seems nice.
The motor is powerful and creates good suction and exhaust pressures.
I will try it out tomorrow and see how it works.

This is how it looks in the box:


Here are two pictures of the 165 cfm motor:




These are all the individual pieces that make up the booth:



Here it is completed from different views:





And here it is with my 1/48 scale Monogram A-1 Skyraider for size comparisons:



My booth measures 17-3/4" wide, 18"deep (23 -1/4" including motor), and 15-1/2" high.

I'm surprised it's not white! One would think the black would cause a color shift due to the black color being reflected onto the model being painted? Looks very cool in black though, maybe you could line the inside with a white sticky back vinyl?

So long folks!

Cost? You mean I was supposed to pay for it? Wink [;)]

I'll let you know what they sell for though as I don't have a price right now.

I am going to run this piece of dryer vent hose to a board I am going to put in this window.
Should work great.

The booth retails for $295 for those interested.
It has a lot of suction and is not real loud.
I like what I see so far.
