What brand and model do you guys use to build your models?

i currently use an Iwata HP-C+,and im sort of interested in what everyone else uses.

I have the following : Iwata Revelution CR, Iwata HP-SBS and Devilbiss SRi.
I use the Iwata Revelution CR for most of the work.

I, also use an Iwata Revolution CR. It is so easy to use and keep clean.

i think mines an a-370 aztek, but i will double check on that and it works great for me!

I have a badger a 100, works well for painting the small parts.

My "Badger" armada:
Automotive paints: Badger 200NH
All the rest: Badger 150/100, depending if I need the jar of the first or the cup of the former is enough. I like the 100 best.


Cheers,

I have a paasche vl series. I like it so far. I have only used it on interiors as I am still learing, but so far I really like how it sprays and its easy to work with

I recently purchased a new one, a Gabbert TripleX. I like it so far haven't found a negative thing about it yet, cleaning is really easy because you can remove the head part and you can turn it so you have gravity feed and bottom feed in one gun. (that feature is not really common as far as I know). This gun is probably not really known outside germany or europe so I post some pics..

that's the gun



gravity feed


bottom feed


and this shows nicely the removed head part


And it sprays like a dream

Badger 200,Badger 150,Tamiya Spraywork HG Single action.I am currently after something that I can use solely for laying down colour coats and clearcoats onto car bodies etc.Something that can give decent heavyish wet coats,be simple to clean and robust.If anyone has any recommendations for such an airbrush please let me know.

so i was airbrushing a model and my dad walked into the garage. i showed him my airbrush, and 10 minutes later he came out of the house and handed me a iwata hp-c, iwata hp-sb, and two olympos trigger airbrushes. arrggh. had i known that my dad had 4 airbrushes i wouldnt have spent so much to buy my own airbrush. i guess having a dad thats an artist has its advantages.

I have been using a cheap harbor freight airbrush for about 10 years now for all of my work. I have gotten quite proficient with it. I have found that if you mix your paint right, and use patience, and practice, you will work well with any sprayer.

however, I bet if I were to get a devillbliss or sata, or iwata, my paint jobs would be much better, and easier.

oh and I also use a paasche h-series for my larger projects. I'm a cheap a$$, and I don't want to shell out the cash. I may here in the near future when I get a 50% off coupon from hobby lobby, or something.
