I have a Badger 150 and it will do very fine lines with a fine nozzle and big stuff with the heavy Duty Nozzle. All round it is well made and long lasting, mine is perfect after 20 years. There are probably better alternatives out there at a higher cost. I can't comment on the other model you mentioned.
I would say though, that unless you will be spraying a lot of large areas the Badger 100G would be a better alternative as you don't have the syphon feed and some of the problems this can cause. The 150 can be loaded with lots of paint whereas the 100 is limited by the size of its paint cup.

i think it all depends on how much time you have to take care of your tools. the most expensive models can take some abuse and neglect with no problem and work wonderfully either way. the badger 150 if taken care of will work just as well as the iwata but you must be very thorough with your clean up. check out BEARAIR.COM for a good price on the badger or iwata!

Thanks for both. Yes I see too, the Iwata models HP-B plus with 0.2 mm nozzle and head. But I donīt have any reference. Of course is more expensive, but..... if it is better.... I donīt know. I need yours opinions. Please. I normaly use acrylics Tamiya for my models.

here is my opinion, in my case i chose the badger (150 set) because i only spray large surfaces and leave all my detail work for my brushes. i would have invested more money on the iwata if i were to use airbrush for my detail as well. so i think it comes down to how much use you are going to give it. if you will try and do most of your work with the air then the iwata is the best choice but if your only gonna do 50% of your model or less with air then u dont need to invest all that money on your brush, the badger is good enough. if u have time keep researching, better safe than sorry.

im very impressed by the site it seems very professional. i would not hesitate to order anything from them but i have never had anything shipped internationally so i dont know how that works. the prices on the iwata brushes are very good and i see they have them discounted. good find! also consider how much you would pay for shipping, you could end up spending more than what it would be to get one locally.
