I have had many types of airbrushes, mainly Badger and I am in th emarket for a new one. I am focusing in on the Iwata Revolution CR with the teflon needle. The web site recommends that series the best for models. Does anyone own this model. How do you like it. Is it basically like the Badger dual action brushes? Thanks to all !

Anthony,

I have the Revolution. In my opinion it is a great airbrush. It made it an easy switch from single to double action for me. I cant comment on the Badgers because the last time I owned one was about 20 years ago.

Thanks Mark. If you made a smooth transtion from single to double then it must be a pretty easy brush to get used to.

Yeah, it really is. I can now paint some pretty fine lines that I used to have to mask to be able to get.

Anthony,

I bought the CR as my very first airbrush and it's been great to use. I'm still learning the ins and outs, but it's been easy to use, easy to clean (I use acrylics primarily), and well balanced.

I've messed around with fine lines on some cardboard and my kids get a kick out me writing their names, so I'm confident that doing finer detail/lines won't be an issue once I get to that stage. So far, it's worked great for the base coats and preshading that I've done.

For the price, I couldn't find anything else that interested me.

Thanks for your input Frank. I've heard nothing but good. I think I'm gonna get one. I'll still use my cheap Testors for priming and large areas though.
