Dyno Davo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi John, been a silent observer for a while on this build of yours, nothing more can be said that hasn't already praising this build, can I trouble you to ask what brand of airbrush you use please, the fine detail in your painting just blows me away.

Hi David.......I use a Paasche single action.....it comes with 3 tips and needles......and is so easy to use and clean........and you can buy them new for around $60.00.........I have bought 2 and $300.00 airbrushes and I don`t even use them.....I get the same results as a expensive one.......I have learned that if you have the right paint mixture,air pressure and weather.......you can have excellent results.......hope you get one......if you need any help let me know.......thanks.

Dyno Davo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks John, might be scouring eBay for one of those, need to step up on my painting for the next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 John, you are right (and so is Donn Yost who is always recommending this same model) the Paasche H in particular is a wonderful airbrush kit, and very inexpensive. Single action trigger. Pull and it releases paint and air. Great atomization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
