LOL!!! I was waiting for that, that's why I baited it by not saying which one in my last post.
Actually I went out looking for the Paasche VL or MIL and the Iwata Eclipse.
The only Paasche I found was a VL that still had paint in the siphon tube from whatever loser decided he couldnt airbrush and took it back.
The only Iwata's I could find were the BCS variety, even on dixieart! ---edit--- I just looked back and I didn't scroll down far enough, that's ok.. the price they were on Dixiart would have put them out of my range on the open market anyway.
Well I went to another store and lo and behold they had about 4 different Badger styles and 1 Iwata... sad luck it was also a BCS. I looked at the 150, the Crescendo and the Anthem. I didn't want to pay the extra for a 150 in a wooden box, so asked to play with the other two. I liked the Anthem but the Crescendo just felt right in my hands. Hooked it up to a compressor so I could feel what the trigger was like under pressure and I was sold. I went ahead and got the set with the hose etc... 3 needles, extra paint jars (gonna need the #5 needle for when I open up my all over, full body airbrush tanning salon. <grin> I saw a big jug of the solution in there and started getting ideas) She gave it to me at a discount so I only paid 10 bucks more than if I got it from dixieart.
I think this will be a good learning brush and become a more advanced brush once I get it down... after spraying this one everything I learned on the Aztek went down the tubes. IMHO this is a much nicer brush... I haven't put the Iwata idea aside, in fact I have a feeling down the road a gravity fed might be in my future for some ideas I have on detailing planes...
For now though I can enjoy a REAL brush for a change!
