Is this a trick question? Get the Badger of course. Aztek - that's funny.

As everyone else has already said the Badger Anthem is the choice hands down. I don't even know how the Aztek can be considered an airbrush. I consider it more of a gimmick than a real airbrush. Big Smile [:D]

Take some time and go back thru the previous posts in the painting and airbrushing forum and you'll see why you're getting these responses.
Although it does have its fans, the Aztek line is for the most part the most maligned airbrush out there.
I've got one in my junk drawer.

My poor Aztec, think I'll have to call it a therapist. I here it crying late at night. I do like the little guy though. It was given to me as a christmas gift and I never had a problem with it. If it ever breaks though I think I'll try an Iwata.

Thanks on the feedbacks on Airbrushes. It's great to have real users of the products give opinions rather than for a newbie like me to decipher the Manufacturer's marketing hypes.

Is the model Badger 155 a good model for me to start off with?

Thanks.

I can narrow my choice down to these 2 models.
Which model of the Badger should I consider as my
first airbrush?

Thanks.
