Thread: finding a better airbrush

wade7632,

Welcome to the forum. I have no experience with central pneumatic airbrushes. I do have one of the air compressors. I've not seen anyone here that uses them. If you want to get more into detail, you'll probably need a different brand. If you search the forum you will find several advertisers here. Look around to see what they carry. Names like Iwata, Paasche, Badger, Master to name a few. There are several manufacturers. Hope that helps.

thanks for the nfo

Wade7632,

I was new to this only 6 months ago and had considered Central Pneumatic equipment. If you wish to e-mail me direct, I would give you an opinion of what you might consider. I'm on a budget, due to retirement, so I know what you're trying to accomplish. It would my my opinion only.

Hey wade!
I have just joined this forum to be a better ABer... (is this a word)
Anyway, I also do modeling with the AB, here is the thing the size of the model will determine which AB is best to use
a 0.5mm needle might we a little too big, you can however make it work. I primarily use the Iwata Eclipse BCS (0.5mm) to paint larger surfaces you can get that for around 80$
very well built AB very nice!
If you need a smaller needle you might want to look at a 0.2 or 0.3 mm AB, looked at the Iwata HP line those are little bit more expensive... around 180$ LOVED THIS BRUSH
Anyway I have meet up with other people that also do model and most of them would use a 0.3mm

Hope it helps!

thans for the info atleast needel size that should help alot.

There are been some debate over how the AB works with those needle...
The needle are pretty much the same 0.3mm vs 0.35mm
However I have heard that the mixing and atomization is different with those AB (thats what the IWATA rep told me) I was trying to convert my 0.5mm Eclipse BCS to a 0.35mm I works BUT he recomemded the 0.3mm NEW BRUSH...
IMHO They are the SAME!
What brush are you looking at?
