Airbrush Poll

[Guest]

olympus airbrushes are certainly good, I know of them, and they are certainly excellent workhorses


btw, how is the evolution working? I am either getting an Iwata Eclipse or an H and S Evolution for a "lacquer airbrush" next.


Cheers

Hi John,


The H&S Evolution works really great, and I mostly use it with Mr. Hobby Lacquer paints so I put those dangerous stuff in the ab and nothing breaks down. Highly recommended!!!


The other good stuff is you can just change it to 0.4mm in an instance to spray large area (prming, etc) then back to 0.2mm for detail work. Hope that helps

That's good to know, I used to use an eclipse for lacquers, and don't use any lacquers or cellulose in my Iwata HP CH Hi Line, because I want to preserve it's life (due to it's excessive price and myself wanting to maintain it's amazing performance). However, I might look into the evolution for cellulose stuff now. How does it strip down and spray fine lines?


Thanks

John - I have two Evos and they are very easy to strip down, no tool needed.   One of their known advantages over most is the ease of cleaning.  As for fine lines, the only real limit is that imposed by the skill level of the airbrusher.

Thanks very much for that. Will definaitely look into it now. how are spare parts in terms of availability and expense?

Spares are easy to get and are pretty much interchangeable between their mid-range and top range airbrushes. I,for instance, replaced the Evo needle cap that was a solid round piece with the one with two spikes which were easier to 'pinch clean' while airbrushing.  John has a good range http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/hard...irbrushes.html


i am sure he can order in any spares/parts that he does not have in stock as well.

I am fairly new to airbrush use but I bought a middle range Sparmax 35 which has worked very well for me. It is easy to clean and does not clog up (I only use acrylics). It cost £49.

Sparmazes are good airbrushes, very solid, and good on the price
