trapper Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 IHello, I'm finally ready to get my first airbrush. I've done some research and I'm thinking about either a iwata or passche. I would like to get a double action but I'm not sure how hard they are to get used to. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions for my choices? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Miatatom Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Best first airbrush is the single action Paasche H, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had it to do all over again I think I would start with the Iwata Revolution. I watch a lot of YT modeling channels and that seems to be a popular one. IMO these gravity fed airbrushes are much easier to clean.. especially between colors when switching colors. I have a Neo Iwata CN and it is my go to. I also have a Paasche H and Paasche VL that I got at a great price when HL put them on clearance. They are all great but I seem to go to the gravity fed because I feel like I waste less paint.

Monty Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) We have a forum member who has his own site where he posts information about several airbrushes as well as his personal opinions based on testing. He prefers the Badger 155 Anthem, which I also like because it only requires one needle to shoot all types of paint. https://sites.google.com/site/donsairbrushtips/ Edited April 6, 2020 by Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If you have a couple of hours to explore all the options. Paul Budzik has everything you ever wanted to know about airbrushing on his web site. https://paulbudzik.com/tools-techniques/Airbrushing/airbrushing_for_modelers.html Read through this and you will have more knowlege than most of the modelers on this web site. Of course you can never get the experience level by reading or watching videos. There is no substitute for using the tool, no matter how much you understand it.

It should be all anyone needs to make the best airbrush purchase for someone who is looking to buy one. Be it their first AB or to add to what they may now need and want to accomplish. Great info. This should be a separate pinned thread. Mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
