As the title suggests, I'm looking if anyone owns a Harder & Steenbeck airbrush?
It's a german company, allegedly quality-equal with Iwata, and since it's easier to get in Europe, it's on my short list for a new AB?

I'm particularly interested in maintenance and wear.

Thanks in advance!

cheers,
Tvrtko

I got an Evolution and a Evolution Silverline. I would recommend both of them. Easy to use, very easy to clean and an overall superb German quality. My Evolution is about 2 years old and pretty well used but it still looks like new. It has not been necessary to change any parts of it yet.

Hi Tvrtko. Have to agree with all Erik said, only mines is 3 years old and never needed any replacement parts. But parts are possible to buy, at a reasonable price, if needed. If you ask for an airbrush recommendation in Sweden, this one is top of most lists. See its quite common in phots from Dutch modellers as well.
Recommend getting the "quick-fix" as well for locking the max paint flow.
Can´t recommend it enough.

Thank you for the replies - it's now the front-runner

Cheers!

I had posted a similar question here on the site regarding the Infinity Solo. However, got a good response over with same question at Finescale.com. You can read the threads under the Painting and Airbrushing section. Right now its on Page 2 or you can search by my id of Deerbill or use Infinity Solo as a subject.

Several people wrote good respones about the Inifinity Solo. I went ahead and bought it. Still waiting for it to arrive.
