I ordered an Omni 4000 today to supplement (or perhaps ultimately replace) my Omni 3000. If I don’t like it, it’s all MikeV’s fault [;)] Just kidding Mike. I know I’ll like it, I already like my 3000.
Also, if anyone was planning on ordering one from Dixie Art you might wait a few days. They had one in stock and I got it [8D]
Nice! I bought an Omni 4000 way back in February or something and just set it up with a giant industrial compressor since I’m too cheap to buy a hobby one. The airbrush is absolutely awesome…no problems with it yet.
I know I’ll love it. As I said, I have a 3000 but I got pretty frustrated painting the camo on my F-105. I was spraying at about 7 psi or so (the gauge was barely even fliskering [:)]) and it would spray and quit, and spray and quit and spray and quit. Since the 3000 is siphon feed and the 4000 gravity feed, I’m sure that the 4000 will spray better at very low pressures.
well done. mike has succeeded once again
I hope you like it Scott. It is a nice airbrush and you can swap parts between your 3000 and the 4000. [tup]
I received my new toys from UPS today so I have some more playing to do myself. [:D]
I now have a new Badger 100LG and a Sotar 2020-2 along with a new Badger Million Air silent compressor. [;)]
It’s Christmas in June for me. 
Mike
I can see the interview now …
Interviewer: Mike, just exactly how did you get so wealthy?
MikeV: Well, Stan, it’s like this. When I was young I started collecting all these airbrushes. With inflation and everything, they are worth about 1,000 times what they used to be so I just sell a couple off every month or so [^]
Just kidding, Mike. Glad you got some new toys to play with. Looking forward to hearing how you like them and how they compare to the others.
Thanks for the laugh Scott. That was great. [(-D]
I will let you know what I find out with these new toys soon enough.
These are the first fine detail airbrushes I have owned so it is going to be interesting trying them out.
The Badger 100LG is in the same class with the Iwata HP-B, HP-C and the others like them. The Sotar 2020 is in the same class with the Iwata Micron which is for really fine lines with the proper mediums.
It should be fun. [;)]
Mike
I thought about the 100LG since it was also one you had recommended. I also considered the 360 again, even though it has a small paint cup. I even thought about an Iwata HP-C, but not for long since I didn’t want to go backwards [;)] What decided it for me is that since I spray mostly acrylics and they tend to dry out so fast, I felt that a cover on the pain cup was important. Since the 4000 appears to come with one, I went with that one.
oh brother…now he’ll never finish those darn models!!![V][;)] later.
Haha. [(-D]
I now have 10 airbrushes and my wife says I don’t need anymore. [:D]
I am trying Chris, I really am. I want to finish this F-15E and the A-1H so I can get started on the Hasegawa 1/48 F-16 Tiger Meet that I got the other day.
That is going to look very cool. [8D]
Mike
Interviewer: So, Mike, How do you buy all these airbrushes?
Mike: I just do some (subliminal) advertising for Badger and Dixie art, and these are what I get
I doubt Dixie Art would give me anything as you guys advertise for them far more. [:D]
I am the Badger rep of sorts for this forum which does have it’s privileges. [;)]
Mike
And I can’t think of a better one [tup]
Gosh Scott. Now I am blushing. [:I]
Thanks for the kind words my friend. I really appreciate it. [:)]
Mike
This is starting to get gushy fellows!!! cut it out!![:D]
ps. i think i’m all set with airbrushes fellows, i havent even the desire to purchase another one lately. should i be worried about my condition?LOL. later.
Congratulations Chris, you have reached airbrush contentment.
That is something I have yet to attain. [;)]
There really are no more airbrushes that I need as I have all bases covered with the ones that I have now. I don’t have any single-action models but I really don’t want or need one anyhow. Maybe I need a Badger spray gun now as I may build that 1/48 Italeri AC-130 someday. [(-D]
Mike
man, if you’re gonna build that kit, you could just go purchase a C&H cup gun a whole lot cheaper!!![:P] you’re right when you say i’m content, now i can concentrate on my building skills a bit. those seams can definetly be a monster for me sometimes. why dont you gather all your brushes and post another family photo like you did when you only had a dozen or so…i mean 6 or so, i would like to take a look. later.
Yeah I second that. I wanna see what ya got Mike [:D]
come on, come on, lets see the goods mikey!!![X-)]
come on, come on, come on, come on… Remember you might be helping me decide what I want Mike .
