I know this is a matter of taste and personal preference, however I have always used a Badger 100 series gravity feed airbrush. The biggest advantage is that it was designed for airbrushing cakes. So there.

Thanks John, there are so many to choose from, its rather bewildering . How ever I've ordered a Iwata by Neo, cheap and cheerful, hopefully I will get on with this better.

Nice to hear of a company that can be bothered to reply to a query quickly!

It is Gerry, I've dealt with them a few times over the years, Martin is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Having just had a full on hail storm for 10 mins I'll begin.






Liking the new ab, feel ok and nice to use. Having cleaned it well after the primer I had to use the optivisor to put the nozzle back on, its so small . Going have to be care full taking that out I can see, definitely will do it over a large white plastic lid. In putting the needle back in I now have to have a finger on the side of the entry point and line the needle up with that. Going to take a while to familiarise myself with this.

The pressure was set for 20psi, the AK primer mixed at approx 34/40 % thinners. A very fine line was very easy to produce and the trigger is positive.
Leaving overnight to dry fully, then a coat of chipping followed by the 4BO. Looking fwd to seeing how the new AK 3rd gen works in this ab.

Thanks for looking in, comments welcome .

I'm still using the same one I bought 40 plus years ago......cant seem to wear it out. Rick H.

Hi Rick, it does indeed, perhaps that's where they got the idea!
The turret looks far too big in hight. Certainly couldn't hide behind a low wall of hedge!
I'm of the opinion that had I been spraying Tamiya or some other none acrylic paint and I hadn't had a mix up with the tips etc none of this would have happened.
Hope your getting on with those new brushes ?
