Airbrush Paint

[NW Modeling List]

 I used my Paashe H for about 30 years with great satisfaction, using the cup rather than out of the bottle. But then it started to fail on me.  Gaskets or O rings? So I bought an inexpensive double action brush on ebay.  I don't need the double action, but it doesn't bother me either.Cleaning is the key. Fortunately it comes apart easy. No set screws involved. And I run a little thinner through it each time BEFORE paint, to be sure everything is clean and open. Gravity feed is no problem, as I only spray one project at a time, and pre-thin exactly the amount of paint I expect to use..

I read some of the stuff that guy was putting out. Some good, some not 
applicable. Too each his own! For the past fifty some odd years my 
Paashe H air brush has served me extremely well. I don't like gravity 
feed because of the chance of spillage and low volume of paint, so, the 
bottle works perfect. I don't do "Fine Art" artwork where I would need 
an expensive double action air brush, I can regulate the amount of paint 
just fine with the H's external mix. Plus, it is easy to clean!
As for paints, you might try MCW paints. I like them.
One other tip. I like to use a lacquer as my main color. Then when I do 
detail painting, I use an enamel paint. That way small errors can be 
removed with a touch of regular paint thinner without harming the base 
color.

Just my two cents!
