|  Badger 155-1 AirBrush Kit My old Air Brush after 10 years of use finally broke. 150 Badger http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LX8154&P=6 This time I went with a different set up. Should work the same as my old one but as some grip to it. 155-1 Badger http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LX8155 As anyone used this one? And what was your likes and Dislikes? |

| I've been using the 155 Anthem for 2+ years now and I love it. As long as you clean it after every use, it's very versitile and accurate (but really, that goes for any airbrush...). I find thicker paints like Parmas's Fastcolor work best in it if you thin them a bit first, though. Here's a few bodies I've done up with mine so far: |

| Whats the difference between the Badger Crescendo(175) and the Anthem(155)? The Crescendo was recommended to me as a good airbrush to start with. I'm trying to decide what to get so I've been taking a look at a lot of brushes lately and this is the first time the Anthem has been mentioned. Thanks, Tom |

| The 175 is more of a pro style brush, has differant nozzle/needle for fine/med/heavy settings. The 155 has a single nozzle/needle setup witch is nice when you are starting out. I use a 100G, its a gravity fed dual action. |

| Thanks for info guys! I think I'll probably pick up the Crescendo, since they're around the same price. Hopefully I can learn with it and grow as needed. Tom |

| well i did some diggin around on the net and found that theres a fine spray kit thats available, it requires a new needle, nose cone, and regualtor. Strait from badgers site....*OPTIONAL PARTS FOR FINER SPRAY. PART # 41-033 REGULATOR, PART #51-81DT NEEDLE, PART # 41-003 PAINT TIP Also in addition to having to clean it after every use, like any airbrush, theres a small teflon bushing that is inside the barrel of the airbrush that needs to be lubricated on occasion, when spotting or pulsating is noticed. I wipe the needle with a little carnuba wax the slide it in and out of the barrel a few times till it rides smooth again, then wipe up the excess, Then I run some water through it to clear out any leftover wax. Viola runs like brand new!!! |
