I wondered what airbrushes are used by us modellers
I myself have multiple, .. Iwata Custom Micron CM-C...and the old work horse badger150 .. I even have my first one I got from my father a DeVilbiss Aero Graph i was thirteen( long time ago) and some cheaper ones from blackbull got 3 for 70,-euro's not bad for the money, yesterday i got a..harder&steenbeck evolution 2-1 .

All the best,
Piet

I have a paasche single action, kinda wished I had gotten the double. Does a pretty sweet job however.

I've got a couple of hairy sticks and some cotton buds, does that count?
Oh, and a AB something or other, similar to Wojtek's.

I have an Testors A370 to fine works and a Badger 150 to general work, love all.

My testors have more than 8 years of use, and the body have lifetime warranty, in march it have problens on the trigger, so I put it on mail and send back to testors, they send-me a new one body !!! To brazil !

The airbrush is so good and testors service are great !

Mine is like the 2nd one in Wojteks post.

I was having problems spraying the panel-lines on my stuka last week, I took it apart, held the cup up to a lamp but I couldn't see any light through the nozzle opening. When I want to give it a really good clean, I normally leave the whole thing soaking on cellulose thinners for a couple of hours and then spray more through it. But I decided I wanted to get something into the nozzle opening to clean it. I went up to Tesco to see if I could find anything small enough. Nothing in the hardware section, but in the dental hygiene section I found some inter-dental brushes, they're 0.6mm thick.

I soaked one in white spirits and I had to turn it to get it into the nozzle opening, The amount of crap that came out was embarrassing! The AB works like a dream again now. I'd recommend getting some of these little brushes if you don't have any.

I've done that , quite shocking aint it? at the same time a little relieving knowing you proberly just fixed it

Second the recommendation of buying small brushes for cleaning
