Is the PAASCHE TALON airbrush any good? Find out.

This video is a detailed and comprehensive review of the Paasche Talon airbrush. This model is equipped with the .38mm needle and nozzle. Within this buyer's guide we are looking at all the pros and cons of this airbrush. I'll also be comparing its spray pattern to the Iwata micron cm-b, eclipse, the micron takumi, sotar 20/20, the gsi creos ps-771, and others. Thanks for watching!

I have used the Talon for years. I actually prefer it over my Iwata eclipse, so much so that I stopped using the Iwata altogether . Replacement tips and needles are far cheaper than the Iwata as well.

I had always thought they were a European company (founder was Norwegian), but lo and behold they started in Chicago and are now located in Kenosha Wisconsin, a few miles away from me. I drive by there all the time and keep meaning to stop in and see if I can get a tour.

Oh, and their airbrushes are great for the money 😋👍

Thanks for all the methodical and consistent evaluations, along with the tips and advice. Your channel is one of the top additions to my subscriptions in the last few years.

Keep in mind the trigger has a rounded and a square surface, the rounded surface should face the Bowl/Cup when installing!
The Paasche Talons real benefit is the very cheap parts, everything Mechanical needs parts eventually, cheap and easy to get!
I really like my Talons, they have been very robust and dependable, like any Airbrush the nozzle size dictates the kind of paint used!

I bought a paasche talon and paasche compressor yesterday for my first airbrush kit, to use on Diecast Customs, i watched this video beforehand and the reviews elsewhere were awesome also, so i bought a complete setup. I use rattle cans presently so I'm anxious to start using my talon.

I'm so happy that I found this video, this is the airbrush that I'm learning to airbrush with! Sometimes it's easy to forget what it's like to be a rank beginner, and let me tell you that the intimidation factor of cleaning and disassembling combined with psi, technique, and proper thinning makes the learning curve for these feel STEEP.

I have had this brush for 2 years and love it. It has never failed me and I use it almost on a daily basis.

[mikeszczutkowski]

I bought the 3-needle/ nozzle kit and I like this brush a lot you won't go wrong buying this airbrush.

[crazylocha]

This is one I've been waiting to see what you thought about it. Bang on every question I was going to ask as you went more into detail, right down to the trigger tension multiple facets. I will take a few minor appearance blemishes in trade for the lower cost all day long. This looks like my next set of purchases as a pair of mid ranged price, but above good quality airbrushes.

Just got this brush yesterday. I went for the set mostly for the fan tip and .66 tip. holy crap this is a very underrated brush. I ended up playing with all 3 tips and the fan cap for a couple of hours just having a blast with it. I too am embarrassed I overlooked this brush or passed it over just because of being a airbrush snob. I would recommend this brush to anyone and especially to a beginner. The set was 98 bucks, and I can honestly say it's the best 100 bucks I've spent in quite a while.
On a different note, its awesome to see your channel growing and am honored to be a part of it.

Excellent review! You covered everything like a pro. I use mainly Iwata now, but I started out with Paasche VL3's painting T Shirts. I'll always have a place in my heart for them. And yes, "PASHAY" is the correct pronunciation, Jens Paasche was from Norway. Thanks! I'll use your link to buy the TG-3AS.

this was an outstanding vid. I got a Talon about a year ago and am ready to use for scale modeling. Your comment about thick paint was very comforting but that is not to say I do not thin my paints but you have to thin metallics very carefully. Thanks again and can;t wait to see the rest of your vids. Thank you for your knowledge and most especially your time and consideration for us.. You're the best.! thanks again...

The 3 head set is a great all in one solution. If you need a small cup version, the raptor and juvel are parts compatible as is the vision.
I think vision only gets you a mac valve and probably the smaller nozzle.
But yeah finish on body is a bit inconsistent.

[marymadalenem]

First I must say; each person will find which brush feels and works for them.. I have Iwata 2 different ones. And 2 Paaasche and even had an Astec years ago. I pulled out my New Talon omg I love it . Although I started with Paasche, so I think it’s what you get used to. Practicing the techniques is what makes it happen. Some on the airbrush, but most on the user. All in all I love the Talon . The tips get a bit to get used to from regular ones. And a tip: if it’s not working right just get in you head to break down and reclean 9 x out of 10 that’s usually the problem. Love this brush.

Favourite airbrush channel on YouTube. Please keep up the hard work making videos and i look forward to watching your channel grow. Thank you

I've had mine since 2018, and I love it.

[kenshinhimura]

Great review! Personally, I'm in love with the Raptor (basically the same airbrush just a smaller cup) the interchangeable needles are a dream. Wishing you a happy and safe New Year! And keep the awesome content coming broham!🎉🎉🤘👍

[mikegibson]

I’ve had this brush for a year now, it’s treating me well, but it’s not what I was looking for when I’m going for detail, I dont know what it is I just can’t get over with this airbrush maybe the cup but I had to put it aside when it comes to detail I even have all sized tip for it, so I use it now mainly for spraying bigger, ticket items and for coverage nothing for detail, but it is a reliable airbrush, I even picked up the Pasche vision with a Mac valve, and seeing if that would help me get over whatever it was, but same issue, I still use them from time to time, but nothing for any detail work that I’m looking to do these days.

[johnp]

I have 3 of each of the series they are all awesome every time a find a sale i buy another to buy everything separately to me is kind of a waste even if i need just a needle i buy the whole kit such a well made brush I’m hooked its not the only brand i use i have like 40 different brushes even Mr airbrush .18 custom brush with is just as good or better then Iwata micron but all personal preference to be honest with you i keep coming back to the talon, raptor and the vision and i love that its made in the USA. Badger warehouse is 15 min from my house and i still will pick the Paasche I’ve had issues with badger the customer service kinda sucks, but again its personal preference !! Cheers

I've got a Paasche Raptor that I swapped out the .25 needle nozzle set for the visions .2 needle (fyi.. not a major difference) but I love it. Before I bought it I saw many bad reviews of paasche brushes. I almost never bought one, but I'm glad I did. Idk why paasche gets a bad wrap but in my experience the talon/raptor/vision brushes are very good. Is there better brushes out there, sure, but you get a lot for what you pay for Paasche. Probably one of the most versatile lines on the market imo, and on par with any of the major brands such as badger, gsi creos, iwata, or grex.
