well guys i have had this one for a few years now and it has finally given out on me. i have striped and cleaned it and it still wont spray.i am now in the market for a new one. i hope to get a pice of this one here so give me a few minutes i am still a newbie at psoting pics[:D]
its down at the bottom still havent quite got the hang of posting pics.
Thats the aztek/testors single action. Well if you are looking up to getting a new one… might I suggest an omni 4000g double action or a Badger 360 double action, both I use and both I highly recommend to ya.
I agree… I have heard a lot of good stuff about the Omni 4000, and as an owner of the Badger 155 (sister airbrush to the 360, identical except mine is siphon fed only, the 360 can do siphon or gravity feed) it’s an excellent brush… able to get down to some tight places on the model with not a lot of overspray and some good detail! best thing is the cleaning of this airbrush takes just a minute or two and presto you are done!!
There’s a lot of good ones out there… Omni, Badger and Iwata seem to be the most commonly used here… what type of models do you build? aircraft, armor and ships all can use certain airbrushes universally… but some do better for certain types of modelling than others… (i.e. if you do 1/72 aircraft mostly, then something with finer detail capability is a thought… 1/35 armor you wouldn’t be SO concerned with smaller detail etc…)
—edit—
if you just copy and paste the same text you did into your sig for the pic, but into the body of your message, it would work better! usually we use our signatures for personal things and group build badges… but pics of builds etc. are put in the body of the message where they are seen first
almost Ga.modeler! try right clicking on the icon in your signature, go to properties, you’ll see a location listed, highlight it and hit CTRL-C, then go to the body of your message and hit CTRL-V to paste it…
to be honest I have been using www.photobucket.com and have had great results! They actually provide the code line for you to post, the bottom one is the one you copy and paste here and don’t have to do anything else!! Try it, it’s nice!
Ga, I use an Omni 4000 for the bulk of my spraying. This is a good solid double action AB with excellent parts availability, even on this side of the pond! With a little practise and an air regulater you should easily be able to get lines down to around 2mm, probably finer, but that’s the best I’ve managed!
I also own a badger 200 single action. This is a good little brush, and while not ideal for small detail on 1/72 subjects, is fine for larger subjects, and general spraying, like gloss and matt coats. It’s also idiot proof, it’s what I learnt to spray with[:D].
Best of luck
