mpk Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Here is my list of airbrushes I own. H&S Infinity 2 in 1. H&S Silverline. Badger Sotar. Iwata HP-B Iwata HP-C Iwata Custom Micron. Recently I began using my Iwata Custom Micron. I'd not used it because it was so beautiful. I hated to dirty it. Since I began using the Custom Micron I have fallen head over heels in love. It is simply the favoriye airbrush I own. The smooth action is exquisite. How about you? Edited December 12, 2020 by mpk monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I use a Paache VL for regular color blasting and an Iwata with the local pressure control for detail work and smaller models. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have 3 and one in the mail Badger Patriot (great all around) Badger Sotar 2020 amazing detail Badger Krome (lest favorite) The patriot is my work horse but i really love my sotar, love how it feels in my hands and is really easy to clean. When Badger announced that they where making a new Hight capacity sotar i told myself i had to have one. I tought the Krome was going to be the one but i dont like the balance in my hand and the fact that you have to unscrew the back to get the needle out So i have a Sotar V in the mail, and i cannot wait to try it mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Sparmax DH-003. I only have one. It's relatively cheap and throws the paint in the general direction of where I want it to go. I have no benchmark to tell if this airbrush is good or not, but it's what I have and what I use. MikeMaben and mpk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 H&S Infinity 2 and 1 H&S Infinity Evolution (both with .15, .2 and .4 needle/noozles) Grex RG3 w/.5 and .7 needle/noozles The Infinity is my "go to" airbrush and I use it probably 85% of the time. The Evolution is a backup and very rarely used. The Grex is used for larger spray jobs. I like the feel and functionality of the Infinity and it works great. The Grex is also a good product that is very comfortable for longer spraying sessions and it also functions quite nicely. Ernest mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Numerous generic chinese ones, used them for a while and then buy another . Mrs PW bought me an Iwata neo last Xmas, which has been the go to this year. I like it because it has a small and a large cup ...the large cup never gets used. Personally believe that good spray painting/ air brushing is 90% air / paint mix and 10% gun . mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have 2 at the moment. A H&S Infinity CR and a Badger Renegade Krome. The Badger is my workhorse and covers most paint jobs I do, but the H&S is a thing of beauty, and I love it’s finesse at doing really fine detail work. I have my soft spot for the Badger though, it’s a tough old boot that’s even had parts stuck on with Gorilla glue and it’s still spraying. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I've never got along with double action airbrushes so I stick to single action ones, I have a Badger 200NH and it is easy to use, easy to maintain and always gives me a nice finish. Cheers Dennis mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Sparmax GP-35 pistol grip, it gives me so much more control than the usual "pen grip" air brush. My stand-by is an H&S Infinity CR Plus but like Dennis I'm not a fan of double action brushes. dennismcc and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misha71 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 i have tamiya triger and iwata hp-c. iwata is really great to use. now looking for procon boy 0.18. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Iwata HP CH Plus and Custom Mi ron, the HP-CH is years old now and taken plenty of abuse over the years but still going strong! An airbrush is only as good as its air supply generally and since I changed to a Sil Air with a nice big tank on it I'm getting much better results. Regards.

quang Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 When I got back to modelling ten years ago, I bought a H&S Evolution 2-in-1. Three months ago, I bought a Chinese no-name Iwata clone on eBay. As it only costs 25 euros p&p included, I did it as a joke. Well, the joke was on me as I quickly retired the H&S and replaced it with the cheap clone. I was so pleased with it that I recently decided to up my game to 100 euros and bought a YUN-MO high precision airbrush marketed by Meng. I’ve owned dozens of airbrushes when I worked as an illustrator and airbrush instructor in the last century. Believe me when I say that we never had it so good. Airbrushes nowadays are much better and sooo much cheaper. All one needs is some experience in maintenance (cleaning) and fine-tuning one’s tool. Just like everything else!
