Badger 100 & Badger 200

[Rodders154]

I have both of theses and I find that for thin lines I use the 200 and for general work I use the 100

Does anyone else use two brushes ?

I've got my Badger 200NH and a Badger Detail airbrush for finer bits.

I have an Expo AB900 for broad brush and an Iwata HPC+ for more refined work.

I have a few brushes in the tool set, my first Badger 200 that I bought back in the late 1980’s , after that a Badger 150 but both of these have not been used for over a decade now.

My daily driver is an Iwata TR1, MRP brush is an Iwata CM-C and I’ve just acquired a Procon brush which hasn’t yet been used but I have the 0.2 and 0.3 needles for  if it’s as good as everyone is saying then I can see that being the daily driver from now on.

Something that can do this (easily)

Yep (well three brushes). 

A much abused Badger 200G (the older version) which I’ve had for absolutely ages. I use it mainly for priming and varnish as it’s incredibly easy to strip and clean.

A cheapo knock off Ebay/Amazon brush ‘Fengda BD-135’ which I bought on a whim, and turned out to be surprisingly good for general airbrushing.

And an H&S Infinity for fancy fine stuff (which I really should use more often, as it really is a good all-rounder).

6 in total:

 

Badger 250 (for large area jobs)

Paasche Copy (for general uncomplicated work and priming)

Aztek 470 (for general use with acrylics)

H&S Ultra (for general use but good for cammo)

Neo Iwata (as above)

H&S Infinity CR Plus (for finest detail)

Don't know how I seemed to have collected so many

Iwata CMC

         HPCplus, cup worn down to the brass inside but still sprays beautifully used for metalics

         HP-CS

         HP-TH

Tamiya HG sprayworks .2 &.3 lovely airbrushes

Olympos MC200 Brass showing through the cup and body in places but still sprays as good as the CMC

And a Iwata RG3L mostly used for touch ups on cars as seems overkill for modelling.

Only two purchased from the UK others from Japan when it was easier to avoid the customs hostage thing, the RG3L for the pricely sum of £60

 

Edit: and forgot to say, still can't use the things that good, unlike others here on BM

I have a Badger Krome, for some reason I love this airbrush and is my go-to paint spraying thingy! I have a H&S, lovely airbrush but reluctant to use it because I have a medical condition where I drop things pretty often. I also have an old Paasche double action I use for large areas, I swear this thing would spray treacle and produce a lovely flat coat. The Passche isn't pretty but it gets the job done, best of all I got it for £10 brand new in the box.
