I was recently gifted a Badger 3503. Am just wonedering-- anybodies thoughts, opinions or reviews(good or bad) of this set? Up till now I've been using a testors plastic POS that I've had for 10 years( I'm back from a bit of a modeling break , though). Wasn't that good with the POS, so I should say my airbrush level is beginer.
The Badger has can propellant(as did the testors), and I plan on moving up to a compressor sometime. Thanks for the input. :-)

The Badger 350 is a good starter airbrush....and is what I used for years. And I did fine with it....had both the medium and fine needles for it. However last year I upgraded to a Badger 200 with a medium needle.....and wow...what a difference....much smaller spray pattern than I ever got with the 350 even when using the fine needle in the 350...and I am only using the medium needle with the 200.

I still use the 350 now and then....if I am spraying future...or just a one color pattern....it is still useful...and is easier to clean than the 200....each has their own uses.
