I love my aztec, but I’d like to get an iwata soon.
For the mercy of everyone and your models, please don’t get an Aztek! Please Don’t! [:(!][:(!][:(!] I really don’t have a favorite, just an enemy.
yep avoid aztek at alll costs
I like my Badger 100lg for my model work and my H&S Evolution though it isn’t mentioned.
Why the anti-Aztek blurb again? I know of some fine artists who paint some awesome work with an Aztek so let’s not pass it off as a joke, it is just different and some people like that.

No clear favorite. All have their plusses and minuses.
its “aztek”… yeah i understand people use their azteks really well… look at brett green’s work using a 4709 or something… its just they are cheap looking and feeling, and dont work nearly as well as badger or iwata

I’m also really fond of my Paasche-H…a life saver when my Aztek p.o.s. was out of action.
My Aztek 4709 is really easy to use. I like the built-in needle adjustment which allows you to use it as a single action - great for long sessions. A big problem is that it just doesn’t produce good results. The spray pattern is too big for fine detail work. I use it for base and clear coats only.
My Badger 360 is too much of a compromise for me. It will do everything well, but the trigger action is way too sensitive. Trying to paint fine lines for shading requires really tiny trigger movements which are beyond my ageing finger’s abilities. A great airbrush if you can handle it.
My Iwata Eclipse SBS is my favourite. It is smoother than the Badger, and the trigger is less sensitive. The needle has a slower taper, so the trigger movements are larger. With the addition of a preset handle I have an airbrush that is as easy to use as the Aztek and that can achieve the results of the Badger.
Cheers

Sotar 20/20 for most work, Paasche H for large areas, and for really fine work Paasche AB turbine
I have seven airbrushes but picking a favorite is tough.
For T-shirt airbrushing I use the Omni 3000, Anthem 155, Badger 360, and Vega 2000 because they are all siphon-feed models.
For modeling I use the Omni 4000, and Badger 360 mainly, with an occasional use of the Vega 1000 with a fine tip…but rarely. [:D]
I am still trying to figure out where to fit my Badger 150 with a medium tip into this plan. [%-)]
