anyone ever use the Badger Sotar 20/20 if so how is it..

Just wondering if anyone out there has ever used the Badger Sotar 20/20 that micro-mark has on sale… when introduced they were selling it for $414 but now have marked iit down to $150…

I already have a 175 cresendo and 360 universal and am very happy with them esp the 360, but the 20/20 looks to have some interesting features listed.

If anyone out there has used one… then a few questions please…

  1. what did you use it for…

  2. how well did it work as advertized…

  3. what type of paint did you use…

  4. your impressions of it… good or bad…

Thanks.

1- I use it for illustration and have used it for some weathering using inks.
2- It works very well excellent airbrush
3- artist acrylics,PPG automotive Laquers and inks. You should use the Medium nozzle needle to spray model paints with it or you will just have a lot of clogging and tip dry issues.
4- Great airbrush if you want to spend the money on one. A few thongs to point out, 1-It’s black so it is hard to see the paint in the color cup.2- the nozzle and head assembly have very small parts that are easy to loose and expensive to replace. It does spray ,feel and is of higher quality then any other Badger airbrush. For modeling I would recommend the 100 LG with the med head assembly over the Sotar as it cost less parts are less expensive. Well, that is my opinion.

I think John pretty much covered it. [;)]
