Badger Air-Brush Co 155 Anthem Airbrush

Product Information

Looks like the 0.3mm needles are shorter than the 0.5mm, so I assume the Eclipse 0.35mm neeedle is used instead. Maybe I should change the focus of this thread. What would you recommend for broad applications if I could only afford a single brush? Eg something like the H&S brush with easily interchangeable needles and nozzles for both fine work and base coats. The Badger 155 Anthem Airbrush is the most comfortable, reliable, proficient, cost effective, user friendly airbrush ever. The two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Anthem’s cone shaped nozzle enabling a single needle/nozzle configuration to spray virtually any desired material, thus eliminating the need for fine, medium, or large needle/nozzle variations. The Anthem’s body design provides exacting balance and long term user comfort. The Anthem® also provides flawless performance in the most rigorous of production airbrushing environments. Badger 155 Anthem Airbrush Features:

Coverage with the model you show may not be due to the airbrush itself but how your using it, you may be too close when spraying, getting wetter areas than others Single needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums, inks, dyes, watercolours, acrylics, enamels, lacquers, glazes, latex, Air-Opaqueª, Air-Tex®, MODELflex® Totally Tattoo® and Totally Tanª colours If you get dry paint building up on the air cap, this will allow you to just pinch clean the tip and for fine detailing gives you a great view of the needle tip. Not sure which other parts were also changed, normal route would be; 0.3mm needle, nozzle, nozzle cap and needle cap. I'm thinking about upgrading from my Iwata Revolution BCR. I upgraded the airbrush with a 0.3 mm nozzle and 0.35 mm needle (the 0.3 won't fit the triple action handle). The 0.35 mm is great for detailed work, but it doesn't give great coverage for base coats (see the patchy job below). Unfortunately it's a pain to swap out needles, nozzles, and the action on the handle when I want to paint a larger area.We have a number of customers in your part of the words, so you may know someone that has one you can have a go with. The needle bearing is Teflon, and Badger will replace it free if it ever wears out or gets damaged. Swapping from one nozzle set to another takes about 20 seconds and you don't need any tools for this or to strip the brush down to it's component parts. Don't spray too far away from the model either as your likely to get a rough finish where the paint is drying before it hits the model.

The main question is how fine do you need to spray and what are the largest areas you are looking to cover and what is your current setup giving you? The revolution was a good introduction to modelling, but isn't flexible enough. As noted, the .35mm set up wasn't working for larger areas, but it will be the weekend before I can play with the various nozzles and some water or food colouring to see what coverage I can get with the standard 0.3 set up. The Patriot, Model 105, is a comfortable, reliable, cost-effective, user-friendly gravity feed airbrush, designed for use by experienced, as well as novice airbrush enthusiasts. Its two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Patriot’s cone shaped nozzle, enabling a single needle/nozzle configuration to spray a variety of materials, while eliminating the need for multiple needle/nozzle variations. It has a 1/3 ounce permanently mounted color cup with a convenient spill-proof cap. Fine nozzle set for details down to 1mm, high flow larger nozzle set and larger cup for area work..
