Airbrush Model

Good Airbrush for Painting Model Cars or other Vehicles?

What are some good airbrushes for model cars and stuff? I was leaning towards airbrushes from Iwata, Badger, or Paasche. Also what kinds are good (e.g. external/internal mix, single/dual action, gravity/bottom feed)? What are their benefits?

Since you’re painting small scale and a lot of detail I’d suggest sticking with the gravity feed, dual action airbrushes. Right now the best airbrushes on the market are the Iwata, Richpen, Grex, Harder & Steenbeck, and Olympos. Now keep in mind that the Olympos is an amazing airbrush, but since it doesn’t have teflon packing it should only be used with water based paints. Even though people still associate Badger with airbrushing…they really haven’t produced a great airbrush by today’s standards…until a couple months ago. There’s a new Badger on the market which is starting to spark some interest in the industry again. May want to check it out if you feel like rolling the dice and taking a gamble.

As mentioned before, stick with the dual action due to air and paint flow control.

All of your best airbrushes today use the internal mix for one simple reason….control. Don’t even bother messing around with an exernal mix airbrush.

When shopping around you’ll also want to keep in mind needle/nozzle size. Since you’re looking for more of a detail brush you shouldn’t buy anything larger than a .3mm.
