This christmas my pearants gave me a Badger 200 gravity fed, single action, internal mix airbrush. Now i can really expand and can do that camo pattern i allways wanted! What are your experinces with this airbrush and is it good. It also came with a compressor.

cheers

p.s What brand paints are best for it?

Hi there,

A friend talked me into one about 2 years ago...

I LOVE IT. Great for small things like touch up, camo in/on sides of planes etc. VERY easy to clean. Its just great. Make sure you get a fine head for it. Enjoy!!

looks like i wasnt the only lucky one this year :-) ive been usign the 150 for almost a year now and love it. i get the best results using tamiya acrylics thinned with there thinner line.

enjoy the ab, and happy modeling!

I tried it on an old F/A 22 raptor and it is sooooooo cool! I managed to produce lines 3mm thick and arears 1" (inch?) thick! I tried 2 difrent paints, both thinned (40%) to same quanties. First was citadel colour thinned with water. the second was humbrol thinned with white sprit. I think that the hubrol worked better because of its flow qualties and it had a longer drying time. The only problem is that toxic alchol solvent went everywhere and it would also cause a potentally explosive white-sprit areosol if sprayed for too long (not good if someone is using a gas stove 2 meeters form you!) :-)
I hope to buy some vallejo model air tommorow.

cheers

Philip
