My wishes have been answered!!!Today I am to recieve an airbrush!!!I have inherited it from my uncle.It is a Badger 200,possibly a badger 150.It has EVERYTHING!!!And it is in perfect condition!!!It has a nice compresor,several tips,etc.I cannot wait to learn how to use it.This will definitely make it easier for me to paint my first body.


I also want an opinion on my design choice.I will be painting a buggy body in this same design,with the paint fading from silver to metallic black,then the rest being dark metallic blue.The design will also be reversed (fade part in front),and will go up into a point near the rear of the roof on the body.http://rccaraction.com/articles/images/fourfast/half_half2.jpg

congrats on the airbrush! my complements on your design choice too :)
although I painted that Peugeot in the picture with spray cans, it's definitely easier to pull off with an airbrush.

thanks.Also,thanks for creating that article so that I could finally decide on a design,so that I could have the coolest (and only:D )buggy in the neighborhood.

It turns out that it is neither of the two mentioned airbrushes.I am not sure what kind it is.I also must find the part that holds the paint

Congrats man, you are never gonna go back to using cans once u get an airbrush. I just got a new airbrush for x-mas, it's a paasche VL(the replace my antique paasche that I can't find some parts for) Good luck on your body, hope it turns out good.

Turns out that it is a badger 175 crescendo,and the compressor is a badger cyclone 1.
