Hehehe thx for the heads up abt the needles and nozles.

Anyway i’ve scouted the local hobby shops and they all suggested Anzen instead. It’s a brand supposedly of Taiwan origin. And it’s cheap. In fact it’s so cheap that it is rather suspicious.

I asked whether they could find me a Badger 100LG instead and they say they’ll look for it but it may be a bit expensive(they suggested a price about ±US$80.00). Anyhow anybody ever heard about Anzen. The shopkeeper(and owner) say it imitates Iwata in looks. Im afraid it’s just a cheapo imitiation which is in fact a junk.

From what I know you’re exactly right - Anzen is garbage. Man, they even use the Iwata names - HP-BC, CM-A, etc.

Hahahaha thx i’ll be sure to keep away from Anzen

That is why you practice and educate that finger as to how far to pull that trigger. [;)]

Not sure why people get so enthuzied about the 100LG with that cereal bowl paint cup? The 100G is they way to go. And the 100SG will save you paint and time with it’s small bowl and quick clean.(on detail&touch-up, not for general purp.) Start with the G and mix your paint in a small jar and add to the A/B as needed. Buy all the needles and tips and ya’ got yer self a dug garn brush that will do it all.

For advanced users, the 100G and SG are nice, however they’re much easier to spill paint out of. I’d still recommend the 100LG for starters.

Also the LG holds more paint, which gives you a longer paint time. Important when you are doing armor or large scale aircraft. This makes the LG a better rounded brush capable of both small detail and large areas.

I agree. Gulfstream is a green horn. [:P][(-D]
