Thanks!
No, I don't mind - I bought the airbrush for 110 EUR (so less than  retail price), that's ca. 141 USD. I am still waiting for the compressor (another 235 EUR), I will try it when it arrives.
I am happy I found this site, I think I can learn many new tricks here. :) To be honest, this is my first double-action airbrush. Till this time I had only 2 single-action's, so I don't think the first model painted by  this airbrush will be something "special", considering I am not really experienced with it yet. Well, I don't know, we will see. Definitely I will post some pictures so you can give me some tough critique.

Just from some of the pictures I have seen, the Revell flexible airbrush looks very similar to the Badger Universal 360 airbrush. It might have been made by Badger for Revell. I have a Sears airbrush that is a Badger 200 with the Sears name on it. Good luck with it.

This probably won't be a  lot of help, as I don't have one. But I looked at the photos I could find, and from that it looks like it could be nice. The feature that seems to allow you to turn the paint feed around 360 degrees would be really nice. I have a Paasche and an Aztek, the Paasche being a siphon feed from the bottom, and the aztek a side feed. I prefer the side feed, since I can use a color cup that essentially makes it gravity fed. This allows you to shoot at lower air pressure. Try out turning the feed to the top- you might like that over the bottom feed.

Anyway- it looks like it should be a nice airbrush. How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

Be sure and post examples of your work with it!

Revell airbrushes - experiences?
Posted by Poco on Saturday, August 5, 2006 2:53 AM
Hi guys,

Some days ago I bought a new Revell "Master class" Flexible airbrush. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, so I am just wondering if anybody of you has experience with them and/or what do you think about them in general. Any comment greatly appreciated! Thanks!
