Default RE: Airbrush Help

OK, I just finished using my 150 to spray the base coat on the uniform of a 1/4 scale pilot bust. I chose it because it allows me to use a bottle and because it's a double-action airbrush I can spray the uniform around the face without getting a lot of paint (black) on the pilot's face. There was some but that's my lack of skill, not the airbrush.

So anyway, I have to apologize to the Badger company. The 150 is working like a champ right now. I don't know what I was doing differently before that was giving me problems with it but it was probably either water in the line or improperly thinned paint.

The last time I used it I was stationed inn Germany and using a compressor I bought there and a fairly cheap regulator/water-trap. My setup right now isn't much different and it's far more humid here in Florida. So I'm guessing I didn't thin the paint properly even though my other airbrushes sprayed the same paint just fine. Maybe the 150 is less tolerant. Who knows.

Anyway, I was bashing them and I was wrong. Sorry for passing along bad information. I'll update my website with the same info.
