About a week ago my compressor gave up on me and I had to buy a new one. Well, to make a long story short I ended up with a new airbrush as well (My old one was a cheap piece of ****.)

The airbrush arrived by mail today and I was impressed. Usually I'm happy as long as the paint comes out of the right end, but this one was better than all airbrushes I have ever owned. It is a German Harder & Steenbeck Evolution, and it was "put to work" at once. Before, when I have bought a new airbrush, I have had to practice a lot to make them work properly. The Evolution worked right away. I think I did 3 or 4 lines and a little area painting on a piece of scrap plastic before I started on my Leopard. I gave the whole tank the first layer of base color and the airbrush was just great to work with. The Evolution is kind of "heavy" and fits my hand perfectly ( I Have rather normal hands). It is very easy to clean and I experinced no signs of clogging or "spitting". I have only used it for an evening but allready I think its pretty safe to recomend this airbrush. The only drawback is the pricetag...

Have any of you any experience with this airbrush?

PS The compressor was very good as well. My refridgerator makes more noice than the compressor

Cheers

Good for you. I would love to see some of your future kits painted using your new airbrush . BTW, how much did it cost? Does it come with different needles for the thickness?

Cheers
