retired & glad Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I have 5 paasche H's, 2- paasche VL's, 2- Badger Kromes, 2- Iwata's- HP-SB plus and Neo CN. I use the H's for most of my model cars and I wanted to get some new parts for them. I searched the internet and found that I could get the whole set with 3 tips and needles , that I wanted to replace, by using Amazon. New airbrush, 3 needles, airhose and other parts that are included a lot cheaper than ordering just parts for the ones I have. Now if I could only get a good paint job that pleases me would be great.

retired & glad Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Why do you have 11 airbrushes?Well I used to use them for pictures I airbrushed over the years along with model cars I have built. It's just an accumalation of them over the years. I don't do pictures anymore since my hands and eyes aren't that good anymore. I guess I just like using them and enjoy trying different ones now. Most except the paasche's are fine and ultra fine for the details I could get with them. Totally cars now and the Iwatas and badgers are pretty much useless with the cheap acrylic paint I am using for the cars. Probably would call me a sucker for having so many but have just decided to use only the paasches now for cars. There's no need to do fine detail in what I build anymore and don't want to get rid of any in case I want to do a picture. Each brand has their own little quirks and ways of using them. Also have a lot of illustration paint that I might try on the cars. The Iwatas are the best and then the Badger Kromes are second for detail work which I don't need for cars. Hope this might explain why.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droogie Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 That's actually a very reasonable explanation. I was concerned that you might be some kind of airbrush hoarder. Best of luck toward getting some finishes that you're satisfied with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have 7. I like having different ones with different size tips ready to go rather than having to change the tip and needle setup in the same airbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck toward getting some finishes that you're satisfied with. I could be called a airbrush hoarder. If the urge hits-----LOOK OUT----- New airbrush coming. I like the old saying " The one with the most is the winner". I think I'm too critical of my projects. I can be painting a model and thinking, this is not looking good, but then looking at some on the shelfs, I think they look pretty good.
