Great video! From a scale modelers perspective, it’s important to remember that smaller nozzle size is not always better. .2mm is as small as I’d recommend going for painting opaque colors. Anything smaller and you really need to use highly diluted colors otherwise you will run into clogging and other problems. For this reason I use my HP-B for painting 1/72 aircraft, and use the PS-771 for fine effects like post shade weathering where I need ultimate control but am spraying highly diluted paint. One other thing to keep in mind is that there is no one airbrush that can do everything well. Each airbrush has its application. One other thing that I learned over time was that smaller nozzle size does not always mean better lines. Head design is more important than nozzle size (which just tells you the size of the material that can pass through the nozzle). This is why the HP-B sprays more like an Eclipse than a Custom Micron. The heads are simply designed differently, with the Custom Micron and PS-771 being specifically designed for getting in close because of its head design and lower air speed. All in all, each airbrush has its application, but smaller isn’t always better.

I just brought a paasche brush for my son who paints miniatures. It was the kit with three needles and nozzles. I got to try it last week and was very impressed especially the fan cap for large areas.

I am just getting started with airbrushing. I got several of the Master brushes. I also got to borrow a friends HP CS. With simple things like polishing the needled, sanding the sides of the trigger smooth and polishing that you can get the same or better results then the HP CS. I also learned that if you are gentle enough and understand what the nozzles do and how they work you can fine tune them as well with a light touch and some 2000 grit sandpaper to better match the caps.

i love how passionate you are about the material. Can really tell youre an artist who loves what they do

[darranthompson]

Very well presented I've learnt so much watching your videos. The way you explain things is so easy to understanding really appreciate it.Take care.

[mrgaviria]

Mark! I just love the way you go above and beyond on every video you make! Love your reviews as well as the art work you provide! Thanks a lot!

New to the channel. Great video. I'm just starting to get into airbrushing for my railroad modeling. I've been searching the net for info on the different airbrushes. It can be somewhat overwhelming with the huge array of options. I just needed to find your channel. Precise and to the point without bashing the cheaper brands. And having seen your work, the portraits and landscapes, there's no doubt you know what your talking about. I look forward to studying your other videos. Thank you.

Very good video - I started to learn airbrush in the late 80's on a single action Badger and then much later i bought an Aztek double action airbrush - lasted me ages and did some decent work with it. After about a 20 year gap ive had a cheapo chinese one to warm up and now gonna get an Iwata Eclipse and stick with that. I do sci fi prop weathering/painting and also poster style illustration using goauches. Fingers crossed it will be good/reliable enough as i dont have tons of free cash!

[hauntswargaming]

Thanks for this wonderful comparison video! I've been using a cheap master airbrush for years and am ready for an upgrade. You do amazing work by the way!

[markwakeley]

Excellent instructions. Thank you very much. I learn so much from your lessons. Cheers.

[Oukage]

Thanks for the video! I was looking at the Iwata Eclipse for a while, but j got the Neo instead thanks to your video

I have the newer version of the xtreme patriot, while they haven't redesigned the PAC valve it does now ship with a blanking screw for people not wanting the feature.

[armstrong]

[jackbrownii]

Nice. Very much looking forward to part two with the detail airbrushes.

got a master airbrush brand airbrush. Pretty cheap when i bought it but i do wanna upgrade my compressor to one with a tank and the airbrush to a harden steenback evolution. Im painting a lot of detailed models for 3d prints so i felt like i need an upgrade since my old one just cant do that pricise
