I was wondering your opinion on this. I have an Iwata hp-cs. Great airbrush! I was looking for something with the ability for very fine work, possibly with a needle stop and was looking at both the Krome and a Talon with the fine needle set in it. I use mostly acrylics.
I have looked on you tube at several reviews but you guys are truly experts in my opinion so I will let you make reccomendations.
Please let me know what you suggest and why or why not on either one so I can weigh pros and cons!
…Hi,I have had a Talon after a week i’ve sold on the net.Then I bought a badger Velocity and now i love it.If you Just have a very good airbrush like the hp-cs you must go forward…not behind!!Ciao Enrico.
I’m obviously not an expert but am very happy with the Talon I bought and I’m really getting the hang of it.
I guess I’ll have to try out more airbrushes. Shows how much I know huh? One thing though, I don’t want to end up with a drawer full of unused airbrushes.
I suggest Hp-Sb Plus because in my personal opinion is in the same class of sotar20\20 or H&S…surely the price is not cheaper…I think the best choice is the new badger Krome…Ciao Enrico.
Tony, any inside story on this? I went to Mike Learn website and saw his Mojo 3. The first thing that I notice was that the cup size is completely different from the Talon. Talon was known to be not very well balanced due to the large paint cup.
The Mojo 3 promised cheaper price and spares, but still 3 times that of Talon and double of Krome. The old Richpen based Mojo seems to be gone for good.
Here’s a link to the Mojo III by Mike Learn. Its 30 minutes of Mr. Learn explaining the differences between his brush and a stock “Talon”. Sounds like it is still evolving with the additon of a .12 n/n and stainless hardened needles etc. There was something else and I can’t remember what it was???
Evidently he’s had many people calling it a “just a Talon”??
I own neither and can’t comment, but you may find it interesting??
The Richpen is still available & sold and serviced by Bear air. I was told they will continue the Richpens.
Several models are listed. You can buy the stock Phoenix 213C (.3 n/n) or you can get a modified version with a .2 n/n. They even have there own version of the Richpen MoJo. I think they call it “Super Tuned”. Again I don’t own any Richpens and can’t comment on them.
I would be willing to bet that 90% of the airbrush users on this forum would not see any better results from the high dollar Japanese airbrushes over what Badger and others are producing.
No, sorry keilau, I don’t have the story. There’s been some discussion about it on another board. At least one member, maybe two, bought them to try out and seemed happy with them. Don’t know whether he changes the cup or buys without the cup mounted and installs his own. True, they aren’t inexpensive and I don’t intend to buy one but, they are tuned up and dialed in. And, as someone said on yet another board, collecting airbrushes is much less expensive than say, building cars or bikes or collecting firearms. So, if someone wants one and has the money to spend then who am I to tell them they don’t need it. I’m not telling them they do either. Just that it’s out there.
However, the first time that I pulled the trigger on my $73 Revolution CR that I got for $65 shipped on sale I immediately noticed a difference. But it wasn’t overpriced so I guess I don’t fit in that top 10%. Just your average Joe. Or…
