Airbrush
Airbrush???
What is the best Airbrush for painting model aircraft in 1:48 scale? I want an Airbrush that will be able to paint very fine, detailed patterns as well as medium spray patterns. I need a good Airbrush that wont stutter and will add great detail to my work. What is the best one?
stuttering isn’t from the Airbrush it’s self (unless it’s dirty) – it’s from the air source. If your compressor has no air reserve, it may tend to stutter as the air is compressed by the motor. Can’t help you with that one, other than purchasing a better compressor.
I, personally, hate the Paasche VL Airbrush. Someone recommended it to me years ago, and I didn’t know any better. What a tank. Not well suited for detail work AT ALL. Since then, I’ve bought a few more…and finally settled with Iwata. Love it. I have an HP-C+, a Micron cmc, and a w-101 touch up gun. I can paint anything from a tailgate to miniatures.
For more specific answers, I would suggest you drop an e-mail to Coast. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable.
