Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with AB-130 and/or AB-135 airbrushes as being sold on E-Bay.ca along with an air compressor and an AB-38 air brush. Who makes these air brushes and are they any good for a beginner air brush user.
Thanks

Howdy, I've heard mention of these airbrushs on some airbrushing forums when I was researhing the Master line.

from what I've read they are Chinese knockoffs of Iwatas, and not really considered good or robust ones at that.

Link to manufacturer?

Wenzhou Hanfong Machinery Co., Ltd.

from posts I've read one of their main failings is the o-rings.

If your looking for a good beginners Airbrush that is great for basecoats and general painting.. look at the Badger Patriot 105,

An airbrush is a major investment, and I can say from experience that with airbrush's you get what you pay for..

P.S. I'm sure some of the other major brands are good too, but I have a bunch of Badgers so I'll recommend what I know is good.

And for more detailed work but with a higher learning curve, the Badger Krome is my favorite...

just my 2 cents..

I have the one at the top the large paint container , I use it to apply primer , Mr Surfacer , I set it up with a .5 nozzle and I'm able to spray Mr Surfacer 500 through 1500 , I must of got lucky for I have no complains . When I bought it was not in a kit and was a lot cheaper . So I feel like did not get ripped off . The one I have is an HD 470 and it's from Taiwan .
