Airbrush size for bigger stuff!

My old Badger150 does all with three different nozzle heads and needles. The suction feed let's you use a small cup or a large bottle. The bottle cap also fits Mr Color jars.
I have a gravity feed cheap Chinese brand for ultra fine spraying if needed.
0.5 onwards is the ticket to go with a large paint holder for large coverage.

Cheers,

I have an Anthem (next model up?) that can do the same, it just has a "universal" needle what ever that is but that can spray a 1mm line with ease (even if I can't) up to a 10cm swath (I can manage that one ).

Unless you're planning to start a production line - then one of these should be adequate

I have two el cheapo 0.5mm a/b - I use for priming & basecoats on larger models - theyre a bit crude, but they spray very well, and for a single overall colour do the same job as much more expensive Branded items. I wouldn't expect fine lins, but who would with a 0.5 nozzle!

More effect than a larger needle is a spreader cap. It turns an airbrush into an air gun.

I use my Topnotch airbrush that way, a o.3 needle with a spreader cap. It works well for large areas.
