You just need to be fanatical about care and maintenance, and they don't like real heavy paints.

It's a very delicate and "fussy" airbrush, meant for fine work. Actually way more airbrush than any model builder would need. I think you'll find that it's just to much trouble keeping it cleaned and adjusted to actually use it in day to day work. It's really a very specialized airbrush meant for the very finest and delicate work, not general "painting." Sort of like using a surgeon's scalpel when a regular old X-acto would do...

Actually, they were the answers I was looking for. I really want something to do very tiny work. I would really like an Iwata Custom micron, but I simply could not pass this up. I also got an Omni 5000. Any word on those?

Thanks for the help guys.
