Though I only own a Paasche HS I have witnessed several demos with the Paasche Turbo in my airbrush shop.
The professional airbrushers I met swear it is the ultimate aibrush impossible to beat by any other, quality wise.
One of them was working on the gas tank of a motorbike and that really looked stunning.
If the Paasche Turbo would be ideal for modelwork, I am not sure.
On the downside you have the paint cup that can only hold a pretty
small quantity of paint at any given time.
If you would be spraying the basic Panzer Yellow on a 1/35 King Tiger I imagine that would be a rather frustrating job as far as refills alone go. You would be better off with a simpler Paasche H or HS single action with a glass jar underneath, holding enough paint for that job in one session.
At the same time, very fine German camo dots or stripes will come out looking really unbeateably great.
If it is worth your while to have a 'basic' airbrush plus a Paasche Turbo on the side for detail work, that would be your own (expensive) choice I guess.
Happy Modelling |
