Paasche VL-SET Airbrush

QUOTE: Originally posted by MikeV Actually I have an Omni 4000 and an Omni 3000 along with a T&C Vega 1000 and a Vega 2000, but I could always use another. Many T-shirt artists have between 20 and 30 airbrushes all set up at a time. Mike

All T&C brushes? ...and you talk about me being biased?

The best American made airbrushes my friend. That's not biased, it's just good taste.

QUOTE: Originally posted by plum1030 We could put that to the test! I could see how well I can do with the Omni (when it shows up), VL, Iwata and Sotar. I could use the same media in each brush for the test (will have to be ink as enamels don't do so well in the Sotar. From my use of the Iwata and sotar I would bet the sotar would come out on top.

That would be interesting to see. The Sotar would come out on top with the inks I would imagine, but who uses inks for models?
But even if it does spray a thinner line I would still argue that it is total overkill for modeling. You bought yours for illustration though so it wasn't overkill for that.

Actually I've been accenting panel lines with my sotar/inks and I really like it. remember I do mostly 1/72 so the smaller the lines the better.

Sounds interesting. Did you buy the Sotar with the bigger color cup or the smaller one? I would like to buy one some day but I don't really have a use for it. I just love airbrushes.

The smaller one actually barely could be called a cup. It's more like a hole in the top of the brush. I got the one with the large cup (which is small compared to what others call large) I'm a slob so I play it safe.
