HP-CR Revolution Airbrush

This was my first airbrush that I didn't get in one of those cheap all included sets. In my opinion this is the best deal out there for the beginner to intermediary modeler. It is made extremely well and completely out of metal. I've noticed that this has made clean up very easy. The double action is crisp which allows one to paint narrow lines to wide areas. So far I have used acrylics, enamels and lacquer paints without an issue. One thing I would caution is when cleaning the airbrush, do not over tighten the nozzle. It is possible to twist the nozzle threads off inside of the airbrush due to overtightening. This was completely my fault but it was a pain to unthread the broken threads from the airbrush.

This airbrush is the perfect balance between top quality at an excellent price. I mainly model 1/35 armor and dioramas. I've had many airbruses, from cheapo master brand to paasche. This airbrush is a workhorse. You can do very fine pencil thin lines or nice wide full coverage passes. You can use acrylics, enamels, laquers, etc and this brush holds up to it all. This airbrush just feels so good in your hand, the chrome plating is very thick, the tolerances are tight, and it has a nice quality feel weightness to it, its just what you'd expect from a Japanese company. This is the Honda Accord of airbrushes, it just runs well and it'll run forever problem free, as long as it's cared for. It breaks down to clean very easily too. Whoever gave this a one star review probably had no idea what they were doing and blamed the brush. Look at youtube and amazon on all the amazing reviews this brush has gotten. You can't go wrong buying this. Don't do what I did and waste your money on less expensive cheap brushes, when you'll eventually end up getting a better brush anyways, so just pony up a little bit more money and be very happy, rather than very disappointed with another cheapo brand....
