discussion I've gone for it!

[Guest]

After all the good things said about Harder & Steenbeck airbrushes, I've decided to buy one!


Just put the order in with John for an Ultra 2 in 1.


Some may be wondering why this is news, but I've long been a highly vocal advocate of cheap airbrushes. So this marks a turning point


Who knows, maybe it'll be Model Air next!

Nice, hopefully you see a good difference and get it set up easy enough. My h&s is so easy to strip and clean. I'm sure this will be too.

 

[Guest]

Good luck with it Patrick! I'm sure you will see the difference

I did say maybe!


Fingers crossed Laurie, I doubt it'll make me a better painter overnight, but hopefully in time ....

You're not alone Tony I have 3 cheap as chips Chinese ones, I don't really know how to use the finer points of them so can't see the point in paying for quality when the person using it is a numpty and wouldn't get better results with a solid gold rolls royce of abs any way.

Good job. H&S make excellent airbrushes. If you want to get a second branded AB, try the Iwata Hi Line HP-CH (ans if you have enough cash, the Custom Micron) these Airbrushes are better than the infinity. Before you try Modelair, try Gunze aqueous. Those are incredible paints for airbrushing (yes, they are acrylics, not enamels)

You've definitely got me & Jim confused Moni!


Once I've got it, I'll do a review & you can see if that helps you decide.


The main thing that was annoying me was the inconsistency when using a cheap one.


When they work, they're great, but it's very frustrating when they don't! Mostly I think that's down to the build quality not being as good - especially in the nozzle area.

 

[Guest]

You're gonna love that brush Patrick, a dream to use and even better to clean!

but your right it will work fine for about 5mins if that,and then ,it dose not air will come out,but no paint,


so i thin it more adjust the needle and hope that it dose work,its just seam that the paint is to thick or some think,


so move the needle in and out try all types of things,

Hehe don't worry Moni, I'm sure we're both good-looking hunks!


I think the main problem with cheaper Chinese airbrushes is shown in the diagram


View attachment 115135



The nozzle becomes mid-aligned in the nozzle cap opening. This causes problems like you're having. I've found sometimes the paint won't flow with the trigger lightly pulled back - so naturally I ease it back further & further ...and a big sploge of paint comes out, ruining what I'm doing!


The H & S won't have that problem due to it's nozzle design ... I hope!

oh lov I,m sure you both are,


I would say that is the,the whole problem,as its not made of harden steel the needle,and the nozzle being brass it wears so letting it set of center ,making the blockage


and not letting the paint pass,so by moving the needle back you let the paint through,


but as you said in a big droplet,


I have seen replacement needles and nozzle for them,but wounder if they will screw in ?,
