I’ve purchased two AB’s from Dixieart over the last year & was very pleased with thier service & prices.

Ditto’s on above. Dixieart is a great store and you mostl ikely won’t beat their prices.

I agree. I’ve bought two brushes from Dixie Art, and they are good to deal with.

Dixie Art is a great source and prices can’t be beat.

It’s starting to sound like an echo but ditto here as well… and I plan to order another airbrush from them in the next few weeks… (procrastinated long enough)

the website is www.dixieart.com

and shipping is free on orders over $45.00

Might as well give another echo off the internet walls for DIxieArt. I bought my Paasche from them about six months ago. The shipping service was prompt and professional. Their prices are usually among the lowest, and with free shipping on orders over $45, they are hard to beat.

Buy a Badger 100LG instead. [:p]
Just as good of results for much less money. [;)]

Hey Mike, don’t see you around here much anymore. I have to agree on the Badger 100LG. I bought one recently & it is now my favorite AB. Actually gets better results, for me at least, than the Revolution I bought last year.

Yep, I’ve got a Revolution and a 100LG and the 100 is my go to airbrush. They’re actually pretty similar, but I like that I can (and do) switch to the fine needle/nozzle to practice illustration work. (It’s considerably harder than I expected, but I’ll persevere.) I do get better control with the 100 using the medium tip than I do with the CR. I really love this brush.

Currys in Toronto are great. I bought from them several times.

[#ditto] all comments regarding Dixieart. Their customer service department is also very helpful.

Madda,

I’ve never used the Iwatas but I simply love the spray pattern that the Badgers puts out. The same head assembly is used on the 150 and 200 that is on the 100’s. It has been very rainy and humid here in Georgia and I’ve not had a chance to fire up any of my brushes but that’ll change when I come back from National Guard duty next week. Got a lot of stuff cheap at Hobby Lobby just waiting for the work table!

PS - Tom, what are you getting from Dixie?

16

I had no idea what I was starting when I mentioned Dixie Art [:)].

BTW Tom, what AB are you buying ?

Regards, Rick

With respect to the Badger 200, it depends on which 200 one is speaking about. It turns out that not all 200s are the same. The 200NH uses the same head assembly as the 155 Anthem. Currently I can’t complain at all about the 200NH’s spray pattern. I think it does a beautiful job, although I’ve never painted with a 100 (or any of the myriad other Badgers that use its head assembly), so I cannot compare the two.

At least he knows that your success with them isn’t an isolated incident.

Rick - decided on the HP-CS… had to wait a bit from when I made my decision because of the work I have had done to the house recently… (have replaced every appliance except the stove, new roof, foundation leveled etc… about $14,000 in work since December)

I am really looking forward to it…

I ordered a Badger 155 Anthem from Dixie Art at 2230 CST on Tuesday, May 31and it arrived in the noon mail or Friday June 3. Ya can’t beat that with a great big stick! Now I have to get some practice with it. I have a 1/72 and a 1/148 and a 1/32 F-105 primered and waiting for color coat.
