The purpose of an airbrush in scale modeling is to give you a reasonable representation of a scaled paint scheme. Whether you preshade or not. I was very happy with the amount of paint I could laydown consistantly. Now truthfully this is 60% the paint consistancy, 30% the airbrush design and 10% the modeler''s ability. If you have an average experience in the first and the last issues the middle is fully met in the Model 105 Patriot.

Thanks!

enjoyed reading your review. could you elaborate on this please? :

Certainly! The most critical and important portion of paint appliction is the consistancy of the paint you are using. Roughly a 2:1 ratio of paint to thinner is needed. Some say the consistancy of milk. It is the one thing that the modeler must get right for the paint to flow through the airbrush and lay down on the kit surface.

Even with a great airbrush, if your paint is sludge you will have knackered the whole affair.

thanks

Hi

Nice Review. very informative..

I'll attest to the basic design of the airbrush. I have been using the Badger 360 for a couple of years and I love it. The one fault with the 360 is the color cup for gravity feed is very small so that it can also accept siphon feed too.

In either feed mode it is a great airbrush but what I like about the gravity feed is so little paint seems to go so far. ...the action is smooth and clean up is such a breeze...

anyways glad to know there is a new option out there in case I ever decide to upgrade..
