Badger 100g fine needle

Thanks, B!  When I painted the light blue and sand, I did it panel by panel so a large coverage area wasn't needed.  Except for the clears, I haven't touched my 200!

Wow, nice work. Now you've got me thinking I should put the fine needle in my 100LG!

FWIW, I use a fine needle in my 100LG for everything but clearcoats.  I spray mostly acrylics, with some enamels.  I thin them quite a bit, and have never had any problems whether spraying fine detail or general spraying.  In fact, I painted this entire aircraft with the 100LG and a fine needle, and it was the first plane I painted with it:

Up until then, I used a Badger 200 for everyting.  Now, you couldn't pry my 100LG outta my hand for anything!

I've learned a lot of what I know about airbrushes from you, so I thought you would agree!

IMHO the medium needle will handle 95% of what you wish from it. I have both fine and medium, and I have yet to require switching them over. In fact, the fine needle is designed more with inks in mind, than the relatively large pigments of model paints.

Exactly right my friend.
