A difficult choice...

I want to buy a new airbrush, a revell one to be excact since it’s the only brand they sell here in the area and i would like to know which one is the best buy.
The Revell Masterclass proffesional, the Revell Masterclass vario or the Revell masterclass flexible.
What’s the best one to buy on money/preformance ratio?
thanks for the help :slight_smile:

I don’t know what the quality of these items is, but you may want to expand your choices a bit. Check out ebay, or www.dixieart.com

never heard of a revell airbrush but if its anything like some of there kits, stay far away from them!!! however, iwata is a good choice. the eclipse hp-cs is good if you have a little extra change and if you dont, the hp-cr is an excellent choice. both can be found at the link murray has provided along with any other brand, except revell. later.

Also keep in mind that finding replacement parts when / if you need them may be difficult. Need a part for a Badger, Iwata or Paasche? Not a problem; and decent art supply store will probably have them. A Revell? Not unless it is made by one of the big manufacturers. You’ll wind up ordering the parts from the factory.

get the flex one: its an omni matrix in looks around revell disguise

The “Flexible” model is a Badger 360 with a different colored handle.
What part of the world are you in and why do you have yo buy it locally?
They are usually high-priced at the local shops.

thanks for your replies guys… let me give you some more info about why i want to buy a revell airbrush:
I already have a revell airbrush, standard class and i’m very happy with it. But I want to buy a new airbrush because this one can’t paint fine things like i want to paint them. (you can make small lines but it;'s really hard and rather crappy looking)
I live in the Northren part of the Netherlands and want to buy it at a local store(revell is about the only breand they sell here) because i can get replacement parts rather fast that way.
I want to buy a revell airbrush for the follwoing reason too: All my painting and airbrushing stuff are from revell (I got a revell compressor too) and I’m very happy with it.

If you want to stay with the Revell ones then I would probably choose the “Professional” model as it looks like an Omni 5000 and would probably spray a finer line than the other two if that is what it is.

Mike…Is there anything you don’t know ??? :wink:

There are a lot of things I do not know my friend. [;)]
If that Revell airbrush didn’t look like an Omni then I wouldn’t have a clue. [(-D]

LOL

Revell airbrushes are ‘renamed’ VEGA airbrushes

Yes, the ‘Vario’ looks like a Vega 2000, and the ‘Professional’ looks like a Vega 1000, not an Omni 5000. My mistake. [:I]
The ‘Flexible’ looks like a Badger 360 with a different handle.

That revell standard airbrush is the exact clone of badger 350.

They Have the Revel at Coast Airbrush in my home town. Interesting looking brush.
