What is the better airbrush for detail painting , the Omni 4000G or Badgers 100LG ???
That depends on the detail and the paint used.
The 100LG with a medium tip and needle sprays about the same as the Omni 4000. If you put a fine needle/tip into the 100LG and have thin enough paints with fine pigments then it will spray even finer than the Omni.

The Badger has never failed me with the fine tip. Like anything, it takes a little practice.
Mike and thehannaman are right. If you have your paint mixed right the 100lg with the fine head assembly will spray hairlines all day long-no problems. It comes down to trigger control on how thin a line you can get. I can also get a nice thin line with my Omni too but it is a little easier with the 100LG.

Thanks for the info I might think more about that 100LG it sounds like a good airbrush.
I just ordered the badger and I’m getting excited I should recieve it in about a week thanks for all the comments.

Chris,
Does the “HP” stand for “high-priced”? [(-D]
Mike
nah…more like Highly-Professional…or…High Priority for a modeller. something of that nature!! [:)][;)]
maybe HP-cs for example, probubly means HorsePower-needed for the cs and the number is the amount you must have…
Iwatas too expensive and plus Ilike badger better thats why I chose the 100LG[:P]
Highly-Perfect…High-Performance Yup, that is Iwata.

Hey MikeV
I was just wondering about theTeflon needle bearing as it says that you can’t replace it yourself, how is it damaged? and is it easy to damage accidently?
Stuka,
The needle bearing is pressed into the airbrush with a special tool and it is recommended that it be sent to Badger should it ever need replacing.
When you push the needle into the airbrush and feel tension when the needle is approaching the front of the airbrush, that is the needle bearing you are feeling.
I have never damaged one myself and don’t see how people really can damage them unless they are careless in cleaning the airbrush or rough when putting it back together.
