i took out my 4 favorite Airbrushes today, since the weather is turning cooler, I can finally paint in my shop, I use all 4 depending on the project , the Badger 200 probably gets used the least as it is a single action airbrush with a medium head. Out of the remaining 3 the Badger Anthem 155 is the most versatile, with so much adjustment by adjusting the needle and being a dual action controlling the spray pattern is infinite, this is my go to when spraying whole bodies .. I use the Iwata brushes a lot too the HP-C with its gravity feed is easy for small amounts of paint and can get very fine spray patterns. The HP-BCR is just as adjustable as the Anthem 155 but the Badger is easier to clean and I like the balance of the Badger just a bit more. All of them are Excellent Airbrushes and do just about any job, they all clean up relatively easy and have provided years of service with only an occasional needle needing replacement . Since I had them all out cleaning them i thought I would share. I do have 3 more, 2 Testors Atek's with many additional spray heads and all the assorted accessories in their nice walnut cases, again something in the balance or control dosnt agree with me, I do occasionally use them though, and a Paasche VL-1 which , although a good airbrush, just doesnt feel good to me for some reason. I have 2 air sources , a Turned Aluminum Tank that I use the most and a Compressor I found at a Garage sale, a small, completely adjustable made from a small compressor, a electric motor and a A/C Drier Tank off of a Cadillac, this is a small highly effective compressor system with a drier, pressure adjustment valve and pressure gauges. A neat unit , and who ever built it had their stuff together.. More to come and additional pics as I get into painting in the next few weeks.... Chris
