Old airbrush?

I have a Paashe H (Single action, slightly used, hose included) that I've been trying to sell for $25. Let me know if you're interested.

Look to EBay. there was a Badger which went for £18.50 over the weekend. Airbrushes have a big market in 'nail painting' so EBay has a lot of traffic. David Pennington snipped-for-privacy@bbbweb.com

Seen a huge # daily on UK ebay from one seller 5915792613

It seems too good to be true, usually sells for around £10

Looked at Badger but heard mix reports and got a bit confused.

That isn't what you want. It LOOKS like a Badger 250 or 350 but since it isn't mentioned in the auction it must be a cheap Chinese knock off. Parts replacement may be problematic. I heartily suggest you look for a Badger 150. If you can repair a Celica you can operate a double action airbrush. "Don't settle for a mo-ped."

thanks, how do i tell a double action?

I will see what brands and model #s are available to me and post back for a yes/no to is it ay good and should i get it.

The trigger on the duel action airbrush controls air and paint volume. Much more precise than a single action. Once you use one, you will never look back. If you want a new one, try Dixie Art Supplies. They have good prices.

Kinda hard just from the picture; the trigger goes down and back giving you amazing range and flexibility. It should say something like, "Badger 150 double action" or "Paasche VL double action." That's probably what you're going to find used; I doubt anyone will be offering an Iwata. Let us know,

Thanks, In the UK so i guess the supply place doesnt matter

I dont do Luftwafe with those wiggly wobbly lines but would be nice to do soft edged cammo, like Iraqi, plus not i have a good few 35th Armour, Modern US / British Tanks by Trump and Dragon, man lots of small bits to make up the wheels etc, i dont like the looks of seperate track links

VL, used or new, its a good investment. Kind of the 'Model T' of airbrushes. Mike IPMS

thanks, will make a note

Kind of the 'Model T' of airbrushes.

It will 'brush any colour you want, as long as it's black ? :-)

Julian -

thanks, so is a 150 any good? i think i can get spares for that brand

Yes, it's very versatile, and is one of the ones 'Keeper' recommended. It's dual action, so offers lots of control, but isn't too complex for a beginner.

It has separate needles for different flow rates - I have a Badger

I don't know current prices - here's an example for the auction in front of you.

thanks, the price shocked me...i need a stiff drink!

As always, the kit in the box is the cheapest part of modelling - the equipment and addons is the expensive part :-)

workbench, tools (knives, saws, fans, clamps, goggles, breathing apparatus)

painting (airbrush, compressor/botttles/cans), paint, extractor equipment, spray booth, brushes, thinners, paints

Etched brass detail sets, decals, RBF tags, train bits for bases,

Display shelves, cupboards

New house with enough room(s) to do it all (including a big loft to insulate)

etc etc etc etc etc

You forgot paying for the divorce so that you'll have the piece and quiet you require... :-)

Julian--I have a VL I'm willing to part with. I've had it for about 6 years, details in email to you.

Julian:

I think if you shop around you will find it cheaper. That price is top of the line, and maybe over the top.
