hi there guys , I had an old Graphotech HF 104 airbrush that after 11 years have given away , though not much used but no spare pats available and i think that is time for a new one. I have some good comments on Olympous 22 -23 and also for Graphotech 727 which is significantly cheaper than the olympous. Have anyone of you experience on some of the mentioned models to give a help hand? Or is there a Badger model in the range of 100 - 130 $ that is easy to clean with good performance?
Thanks and waiting

hi

I recently bought an Iwata HP-B Plus airbrush from Dixieart to replace my Badger 150

I must say -it is like going from a firetruck to a race-bike... you can clean the Iwata by backflushing thinner - whereas the Badger needs taking apart EVERY time you have used it...

I payed $180 (inc shipping) but had to pay 40 euro tax...

Another good one to check into is the Aztec 470. A lot of folks here use It and give it high marks.

A lot of people talk good about the Aztec but there is no importing here in Greece . I ll keep searching a lil more thanks guys

I would go with any of the Tamiya Airbrushes, They are made by the same company that makes Awata and are much cheaper. I Have a Single action and the superfine Double action. they run from 80 USD to About 140 USD

I've always thought Iwata was way to exspensive to, until I looked at Dixie Art, now they have real good prices and ship across the pond, now I don't know how the tariffs work but that one guy said he bought his for almost half of what it would of cost him in England shipping and all, plus it arrived in a week, now how they done that I don't know cause the mail here takes a week to go 42 miles.

Can u suggest a specific Iwata model thats been good for sure and making the hard and the fine work the same good?

the truth is that they re cheap i mean they sell the full Badger 150 set in wooden box 79,95 $ while in Greece it goes over 200 Euros .....

Dixieart used UPS to ship my airbrush (and UPS billed me for the taxes later)

Iwata HP-B (the normal type, not the Plus) is 129 dollar + shipping $30 = $159 = 125 Euro + taxes 30 euros ? = 155 euros...

hmmm what you say is a matter of research about them!! thanks for the info buddy

Mjr Goose I got an A/B from dixie art took a bit of time to get here but might just have been my ordeer I dont know bearair do some good deals on A/B's as well :-)

Thanks buddies i ll probably go for the Badger 150 from Dixies .
