Brandon,
I have owned 4 Airbrushes now (a Badger beginners brush, a Paasche H, Aztec
A470 and a Tamiya HG-SF) and I am about to buy my fifth. Before you read
this
you should know that I now sell and service airbrushes as part of my job, so
my opions may be biased.
I not fussed by Aztec Airbrushes. I have owned one for a long time and
never been pleased with it's
performance. I alway's thought that it was my technique and not the brush.
As a consequence I avoided Airbrushing as much as possible.
The Life Time Warranty is a great thing, I have had to get mine exchanged.
It had faulty preset. Most go due to their
achilles heel, the airline inside the brush is only a thin piece of plastic
tubing.
I then bought a Tamiya HG-SF Airbrush. It turned my painting completey
around. I am now a lot more confident with my Airbrush. I know that I will
get the result that I am after (with a bit of attention to Air Pressure and
paint consitency). The Tamiya HG-SF is about equvalent to the Iwata HP.CS,
but with the preset handle as standard. My next brush is Iwata HP-CH with
their new MAC Valve system. I hope to have it my hands this week.
regards,
Trevor Ware |
