What are your favorite airbrushes? (POLL)

[Guest]

Looks like the H&S Evolution is the most favourite airbrush around so far.


However, Iwata looks to be the most favourite brand.

I'm now thinking of taking the plunge & leaving my cheapo airbrush behind!

Difficult John to analyse. H & S only do two lines of brushes but within those two lines they have a number of options


Iwata have numerous lines but not so many options in each line.


Wish I could amalgamate the two with the best advantages of each. What an airbrush that would be.

I'm not sure Laurie! Just that I've been thinking about it & from looking on here & on YouTube I'm definitely considering buying an H & S Evolution 2 in 1 from John.

You will not go wrong with that one Patrick a very nice airbrush.


Cleaning is a doddle so easy. great thing about H & S is


that the cup is removable which makes cleaning even easier.


Pity Iwata do not see the light.

That's one of the features I like the best - along with better consistently.


And thanks for your contribution! Only another £129.99 to go!

I know exactly what you mean. However, I think the 2 in1 thing is a gimmick. I don't know any modeller who changes needle sizes on a single airbrush......

I agree completely. Would be nice to have removable cups, but iwata's size of cups are fine for me. However, the neck is very wide, so cleaning is a breeze (for me). As for their nozzle set up cleaning, I think it is great for my cleaning methods, as the eclipse is the same as paasche and H&S, and the hi line nozzle has been working fine for me.

Hi Patrick I have the h&s evo fine line solo, as john said I'm not sure if the twin is a bit of a gimmick but as I'm new I can't comment too much. I paid around £90 for mine you can also get a slightly different nozzle which will make cleaning even easier which I will be buying soon, It already is a breeze to clean but as I said the nozzle can get grubby especially after priming and I find myself cleaning the nozzle at least after every go, maybe I'm a bit OCD.

Thanks for that Phil! I strip my one down every time already so that's not a problem.


Where did you buy yours from?

I think it was everything airbrush, I know that john does h @ s now but not sure about the solo version. I'll double check tonight and message you.

I have the two in one H & S. Not a gimmick as you can use both needle/nozzles easily.


The Solo normally comes with a .2 needle. It is the same as the 2in1 with out


a .4 needle nozzle supplied.


The two in one comes with a .4 and .2 needle nozzle.


When I used the H & S regularly I swapped and changed needle nozzles.


Takes about 30 secs. Unlike the Iwata, which has a screw in nozzle (a pain)


the H & S type nozzle just pushes into a housing.


The Silverlin is the same model as all the Evo types. But it has an adjustable


stop on the end to control the amount you pull back the trigger.


Sound great but it is a pain. If you have slight blockage, with acrylics,


they can normally be squirted out at full trigger. With the adjuster you


are restricted. I found that during the same session that I may want


to use more or less trigger where some areas are large and some small.


ie adjust the paint stream by experience.


The Sliverline comes with the quick release. But it is the tail it does not


come with the expensive bit to add on to the hose. I bought quick release


for all my brushes but have chucked them all in the dustbin. First I found


they are quite long and get in the way ie they extend the hose into a solid


end piece. They also leak even the more expensive ones.


Costs. John is about £4 less on the two in one at Everything Airbrush.


On the Solo John is about a £1 cheaper.


The Evo is a great brush. Dead easy to clean. I would go for the .4 and .2


combination. .4 is great for large areas. The .2 great for detail work.


It is unlikely you would need to change needle/nozzles while in a session


as the two sizes are used for different types of work.


All my opinion of course but after considerable use. Stiil use it for certain


work where the Iwata is not as handy usually varnish work as they are


much easier to clean than an Iwata.
