hi guy's,
Can someone tell me about the badger 150 airbrush??
How it is to work with and how fine you can paint with it.
My LHS has them in stock now and at 91 Euro's I'm thinking about getting on.
I now have a Revell Vario so I have some experience with airbrushing.

TIA Jan-Willem

The 150 is a versatile brush. It is easy to use and at least in my location parts are extremely easy to get. With a very little time and the right needle/head unit combination, you can create extremely fine lines. Although it is no longer my primary AB it does get a lot of use and I have had great success with it.

Jan,
I had it when i was a kid, its good for overall painting and base coat, its really easy to clean too.

I've used a 150 for years and am quite pleased with it. If you are interested in doing fine line work, I would recommend you pick up the Fine nozzle and needle set, not required but sure makes it easier.

how much does a set of nozel's and needel's cost ?
And does badger have a site where I can look up more info??

and thank's for the feed back

The 150 is about half way down the page. As to prices, I fear they vary too much to quote my local prices, depends on the shop, probably better to get them direct from Badger.

Check out the link below Jan, I know this is a store from the USA, it is where I bought my Badger 200 cause they had a good deal on it back then. Im pretty sure youll be able to find Badger parts on Ebay, but this will give you an idea how much the fine needles cost, hope it helps.

Ive just finished painting my first model with my new Badger 150.
While I cant compare it to anything as its the first dual action airbrush Ive owned,Ive found it very easy to use and clean.With the gravity cup I can mix very small amounts of paint.
In general I found it very easy to spray thin layers of paint with a lot of control,user friendly,and easy to handle.
Hope this helps

i pulled of a realy nice clean camo on my king tiger with jsut the medium nozzle!

Although I have all three heads and needles for mine, I really only use the medium tip.

I have had mine for 17 or 18 years now.
