Badger 155 Anthem Airbrush Features: I was wondering if anyone here has any any experience with either or both and what your opinions are of the airbrushes? What are they like for fine, detailed work? Do they work well enough for larger areas or do you have another go-to brush for base coats, etc. Single needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums including inks, dyes, watercolors, properly reduced acrylics, enamels, lacquers, and airbrush-ready colors including Spectra Tex, Air-Opaque, Air-Tex, Model flex, and Totally Tattoo.On flexibility for the future, you can add a 0.15mm nozzle set for ultrafine work and a 0.6mm nozzle set for very large area work. There is also a micro paint cup that covers the cup thread if you are doing a lot of detail work as well as 15ml, 50ml and side feed 15ml bottle options available. Developed to deliver precise performance and fine line detail, the Patriot is an ideal airbrush for custom art, graphic arts and illustrative work. The Patriot airbrush will operate at 30 PSI, as well as lower pressure settings (10-15 PSI) and is ergonomically balanced for hours of comfortable airbrushing. I mainly work in 1/72. My smallest work would be a Luftwaffe mottle on a Bf109, the largest is the Vulcan which is stashed under the bed. Generally speaking, 1/72 fighters, both props and jets.

The Anthem's body design provides exacting balance and long term user comfort. The Anthem also provides flawless performance in the most rigorous of production airbrushing environments. It has a 0.2ml nozzle set that paints down to about 1mm for detail, the internal 0.5ml or small 2ml paint cup can be used for this. As well as a 0.4mm nozzle set and 5ml paint cup for larger areas. It also has a preset handle to set the maximum paint flow.

I'm thinking about upgrading to an airbrush which is either easier to swap out needles and nozzles or which can reasonably manage detail and lay down a larger area of paint when needed. I was initially looking at the Badger 150, but I'm intrigued by the Badger 155 Anthem and the 105 Patriot. The 155 and 105 have a dual taper needle, allowing fine detailing and wider coverage. The 105 has a finer needle and nozzle than the 155, but it looks able to lay down a lot of paint when required (base coats, single colours, gloss coats, etc). Don't spray too far away from the model either as your likely to get a rough finish where the paint is drying before it hits the model. Swapping from one nozzle set to another takes about 20 seconds and you don't need any tools for this or to strip the brush down to it's component parts. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234976552-iwata-triple-action-handle-issues/?fromsearch=1 The Patriot, Model 105, is a comfortable, reliable, cost-effective, user-friendly gravity feed airbrush, designed for use by experienced, as well as novice airbrush enthusiasts.
