Hi

I am goin to buy a airbrush and want it to be a decent one ,so can anyone tell me of some good places or hobby shops in Canada that sell airbrushes and does mailorder, providing the posties have not rotated there strike to that city now. And any concensus on what people are using to spray their kits, I have read a lot of iwata comments but which version would be good for modelling and some tmmi reviews of the newer badger ones.

any thoughts

thanks Mike

I have two Azteks, one Paasche, and just bought an Iwata. I have not used the Iwata alot yet, but it seems to be a real good airbrush, it is the Eclipse. I found as important as the airbrush, air supply is too. I use an Aztek compressor with tank.

As for buying airbrushes, I have found Wallack's Art Supply in Ottawa, they are knowledgeable, and seem to have the best prices around. (A lot cheaper then some hobby stores).

Hope that helps.

I carry the Harder & Steenbeck line.


Currently only have the Evolution and Ultra in, but will be making an new order soon, if there was something else you wanted. I personally use the Infinity, and find it is an awesome airbrush, very fine lines, quality craftsmanship, easy to clean. On par with the Iwata Microns for less $$$
