airbrush help

Yo, its time for me to equip myself with a airbrush, so i checked out hlj for airbrushes and saw a tamiya airbrush (some kinda trigger type, double action (what does that mean :screwy: )) and a compressor, also from tamiya, some kinda basic compressor, so my question is: does it pay off to buy these?


thanks // Zlaja

Wow, That's what I call research !!!

hahaha Mart :D

Don't buy Tamiya airbrush unless you are in Japan. They are in fact made by Iwata, and Iwata cost less than tamiya one (well it cost less in america) Consider also Badger, Paasche and Seach option ! :rofl:

thanks for the serious answers :(

I have a Paasche VL and I am happy with it.

I got a badger anthem that works wonders for muah!

I also have an Anthem, and love it !

Proud Anthem owner too! Hardly any problems with it.

Woohoo... Anthem Forum.

Seriously, got one too, never had a problem with, everything in this Airbrush is top notch. Same goes with the 360 Universal (which is aprox. the same thing but with a swivel front end).

For explication on the double action/simple... read my first message.

allright so i should buy a badger anthem i suppose? and a compressor of course

I have Badgar 360 Universial, I think it is very good. I equipe this airbrush with Badgar 1/8 hp compressor

I use a 10 gallon tank to power my brush.

Hmm....or maybe u can do a review search online for the different models which are easily avaliable to u and then decide on which one to get. :)

naw i just need to know wich airbrush/compressor is good with good quality and ill buy it, money is not an issue

If money is not an Issue, well get an Iwata.
IF you want the best choice for the money, I think Badger Anthem is the best choice.

FOr the compressor, I have a 100PSi 1.5Hp 2Gallon compressor That I got for 100$

well what does the badger cost? maybe should look it up myself ^^ im lazy :D

I got my Anthem for 51$ on Ebay (155-7, with hose and all accessories) at Dixieart, it's 68$ for the same kit and 49$ for the airbrush alone (no hose, no accessories)

Look ebay, there is many new Anthem there (took 1 week to find mine at the price I wanted)

allright, thanks man, you are a good man, vric, i appreciate it :D
I noted that airbruses cost like 60% less in US and Jap than Swe, i went down to a hobbystore nextdoor ( :cwm27: ) and looked at a aztek, and it cost like 150 bucks (had lots of accessories though) but no compressor, and the compressor cost 350(!) bucks! i think ill order one from the US after seeing your post

ALL HAIL VRIC! THE SAVIOUR

I would never put 150$ on an Aztek airbrush

you can order from Dixieart, I think they ship worldwide. With customs and dutty fees, you should be far under the aztek price.

You can also look elsewhere, I don't really like dixieart, but it's a good place to buy.. just search a bit

I would not order a Aztec. They are plastic. One run with laquer thinner and the brush would be done. Get the anthem.

allright guys, thanks for the help :worshippy :worshippy :worshippy
an badger anthem it is :D
