I realize the thread has kind of run it’s course but wanted to say something. Seems to me the Badger Patriot 105 with medium nozzle and needle set is less costly than a 480 and a known good performer as well. It’s $67 and change from Amazon, plus a Badger hose which is another $10 or so. Also available is the fine needle set as well as heavy needle set. Then as long as you mix your paints correctly, to a proper viscosity for air brushing, you have an airbrush you don’t have to fight with…
Thanks
