DPNM Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Got this to add to my still growing AB collection. Wold model N. Made between 1912 and 1918. Has a side cup and a bottom feed jar. Think I'll put black in one and white in the other and paint a checkerboard. I took it apart, cleaned and polished it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the photos and sharing this with us. 👌 Joe You are welcome Joe. I know most members here don't give two hoots about it but there are a few here who appreciate these vintage brushes as I do. Although I have nothing against more modern brushes, I have a few, my main focus now is finding early ones. I love the history and the design concept of them. The N was designed to not have paint in the body of the brush. The paint is only in the head. The brush is double action. A friend of mine has a number of the N models. He says it sprays as well as his Iwata HP-B. He is an artist not a modeler so his comparison means a lot to me. That said, this N may become my favorite and most used airbrush. This is how the siphon jar is opened. There are two ears that hold the jar when given a half turn. The disassembled brush is a Wold model A-1 I am working on. Not as old as the N.

That is a an awesome addition to your very historical collection. I'm reasonably good at disassembly and reassembly of modern airbrushes. I would be terrified to even think about taking something like that apart for fear of ruining a part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Nunes Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Thank you for sharing the above post and photos. I am not knowledgeable as to airbrush history and use. I have a Badger Crescendo airbrush and haven't had the "courage" to use it yet. 😳🙄😆😁 I do, however, really enjoy reading about historical aspects of items from the early 20th century and find this airbrush design from the early 1900's to be quite fascinating.

I was quite nervous myself Bill. I didn't want to damage anything. My friend (he's also my mentor) gave me an idea how it disassembles. Fortunately it came apart easily. Since no paint enters the body I should not have to disassemble it again. 50 minutes ago, Joe Nunes said: Thank you for sharing the above post and photos.

Joe I find this brush extremely fascinating myself Joe. To think it was designed and manufactured way back then boggles my mind. To work as well as I was told is incredible to me. I thought it would spray more like a Paasche F or H. You may as well start using your Crescendo. Practice is helpful. I have never owned one so I can't offer any advice. I believe they are similar to the Paasche VL which are very good airbrushes. Edited February 18, 2023 by DPNM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW93 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) My haul from the Salisbury NC swap yesterday . Had a really good day selling so went and spent part of sales $ on some kits. original AMT 59 El Camino with broken but repairable roof & missing front bumper & taillight. May be up for trade once I figure out what to ask for in trade. 58 TBird promo body, slightly warped in the rear. Should be able to refit rear bumper. Bottom of interior cut out.

It'll be awhile before i get back to the hobby room, but this was on the info page of the kit. I'm not sure if it's just lowered option or they give both. • Choice of factory-stock or custom wheels and tires.• Highly detailed 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 engine and rear-drive chassis with custom dropped suspension.

The only stock parts that were "restored" to the kit are the wheels and the rear bumper, otherwise it's the same kit as it ran in the last several reissues as a custom lowered SIlverado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Fujimi is much nicer than Heller to wrestle with. LM is great looking car. I’ve got a Drogo nose resin body for the 65 LM car for that chassis. But short nose still my fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell AG is a Fujimi reissue, albeit molded in white instead of red like the Fujimi (I now have both in my stash) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
