Hey, it's me!!!
Yup, my box came while I was at work and was here when I got home. (well, duh!) A Paasche H is now my own. I was very pleased with BearAir's service. I ordered on Monday, got e-mail confirmation Tuesday, got e-mail that said order shipped Wedensday, and the package arrived Friday. Talk about service! I think I'll try it out early tomorrow morning... wait, I can't. Gotta work.
OK, after lunch. Nooo. Gotta work
After dinner? Maybe, I work until 5
I'll let you know how it works! Thanks to everyone for the buying advice! :-)

CONGRADS PENPEN; I have a Aztek Contempo that works very well for me. Along with an Airmaster Compressor system. Hope you have a great time with it. I know that an Airbrush makes a great difference in my modeling. Not to mention how really nice they look after a model has been Airbrushed compared to hand brushing.

Yoda....there's a thingie that looks kinda like a whistle, you plug that end into an air hose. On the top of the airbrush is a little silver thingie, place your right index finger on it and push, that's the trigger. And lastly, on the front is an even smaller whistle looking thingie, that's where the pretty coloured paint come out.....hehe.

Yoda - Congrats & Good Luck with your new AB.
I guarantee you after about a year a so with thye single-action,
you will no doubt want to move on to the double-action.
You will have a lot of fun with the Paasche. Make sure you
keep up the maintenance, and it will last a lifetime.
The Paasche is a real work horse & very reliable.

Thanks all! I'll see if I can take some half decent pics with the webcam to upload to posts.
Tread, always the comedian eh? :-)
Envar congrats on the airbrush, we'll have to do those tip exchanges!

I think this site is in need of an NHL Playoffs forum... The Hurricanes couldn't get anything to go in the net last night.
To all non-hockey fans... I will be using my airbrush today!

And I did! Hoo boy, why didn't I get the airbrush sooner? I thought it was going to be difficult to learn... Nope! I thought it would be hard to control... Nope! I thought the compressor would make me go deaf... What did you say? Just kidding! Nope! :-) My confidence as a modelbuilder has gotten a big boost today. I just sprayed flat black over my attacking Alien Warrior... Man it looks much better than when I brushed acryl black over it! I just need to touch up a few spots and paint the base and I'll be ready to post pics! Hopefully I'll have some low-quality pics taken with the webcam up by Sunday. But for now, it's time to go to work.
Maybe I'll do something else when I get back!

It's quite amazing what a little bit of air added to paint can do...ehhh?
I'm happy you got it, and it's working well for you!!! :-)

Congratulations on your new airbrush! Take good care of it and serve you well it will.
Another piece of advice on airbrushing: patience.

Congrats on the brush. I might join the tip exchange ring soon as I'm waiting for my Aztek 470(9) to arrive.
Still have to figure out the compressor issue. Envar, do you already have one? I saw one rather small in Biltema for about €85. Might need a regulator for that one though.

Congrats Yoda. I have the H and the VL. I am learning with the H, the number 1 tip set, number 3 tip set, etc. and when I have those down I'll move up to the VL. The H has been a dream so far. It is a boost to the modeling ego, isn't it?
