How is it that like everything else in this "hobby" we end up collecting more things than we realy need,air brushes seem to be no different.... I've got 3 badgers, a 360 that is a total piece of dog do, I did better with rattle cans, but it was my first air brush...

I then bought a cresendo 175, not a bad brush, but heavy,it's biggest downfall as Tagger said, is the bent needles...I'm far to clumsy to be near something that delicate, besides, I hate needles, especialy stuck in my hide!

I bought a Badger 150, I like it alot, it's been trouble free for over a year, paints fine detail and the needle is sheltered, my only complaint would be the need to scrape the needle during fine work with some paints after a half dozen dots or a thin line, it seems to be mostly red and black and may not be the fault of the brush... but all the Iwata talk has got me thinking......My biirthdays coming up, may have to put a bug in the boss ladies ear!
