Aztec. It`s idiot proof reasonably priced and does an excellent job.I have painted perch thru salmon.
Thanks Roger sounds like what im looking for
Nothing wrong with Aztec! Have tried it and many others but I have always gone back to my single action Pasche {not sure on the spelling} I do a lot of fish taxidermy and i've found the single action action Pasche to be real simple to use. There are three differant size tips and I use them all. Probably the most important thing with any airbrush is keeping them very clean.
I have used the single action Paasche for years and have found no reason to change.You can get the Paasche 7H single action kit for $50.00 from Van Dyke's.
I just used an Aztec double action for the first time the other day. Seemed to take forever to flush all the color out. Can anyone tell me if this is common?
Ed,the most important thing with any brush is to keep them clean.
Happy painting,Jeff
P.S. Roger,I must be an idiot!LOL!
the Aztec that I used the other day performed great. Nothing bad to say about it at all. I was just wondering if,by design,a double action takes a little bit longer to flush out than my single.
