Badger Air-Brush Co. 105 Patriot Fine Gravity Airbrush

Very impressed with the airbrush, very user friendly and the ability to remove and clean the needle on the go is a winner.

I love this airbrush - I have 5 Badger airbrushes and this is the one which is used predominantly. It can spray virtually anything I load into it. They are precision instruments and I recommend them very highly. The only thing I did to alter mine was to fit a finger pad to the top of the button - I find it gives me a better grip and control when pulling back on the needle...... I also find that I remove the needle after each session to clean it..... Badger suggest not to, but I have had issues with the needle still being dirty after a thorough clean with automotive laquer thinners and Iwata airbrush cleaner.... no matter how many times you flush these out - there is always "something" left on the needle, and I suspect inside the chamber..... just me, but I like to clean it thoroughly after use...... and I use Badger's "Regdab" needle fluid after each clean...... these great airbrushes will last my lifetime, and probably those of my kids and grandkids....

This airbrush is absolutely amazing. A lot of people will say that this is just a beginners airbrush and while, yes, it is perfect for a beginner it can and will take you so much farther too. Highlights: Dirt cheap, really. You can get this airbrush for $20-30 more then these cheap knock off airbrushes; and it is still 1/2 to 1/10th the price of the high end airbrushes. Easy of cleaning and maintenance. Compared to other airbrushes a golden highlight is the size and fitting of the tip. Without exaggerated it is 3 times or more bigger then other airbrush tips. This means when (not if) you accidently drop it during cleaning it does not disappear into the carpet or bounce off in a random direction to never be seen again. In addition, it sits on the body of the airbrush. No special tool(s) needed for assembly or disassembly. No rubber o-rings. When you need to clean your airbrush you can use alcohol (ISP) and it will not deteriorate any delicate parts. Different tip & needle sizes. This airbrush comes with a 0.5 mm tip and needle. For around $10 you can buy a 0.3 mm and or 0.7 mm tip and needle set. This alone will give you a super wide range of applications you can use this airbrush for. Oh and the needles have different colored handles so you can easily tell which size you have installed and which size those that are laying around are. Trigger and Finger Rest. Badger makes a bigger trigger called the High Hat Trigger which will fit on this airbrush. Only difference is a longer shaft so you have a far greater deal of control over how far back you pull your trigger and thereby how much paint you spray out. Badger also makes a plastic Finger Rest that you can fit on here. It is just a few dollars and it just makes the feel of the airbrush in your hand so much nicer. If you aren't going to airbrush for very long it isn't needed, the airbrush standard feel good in your hand. But for extended use it's like adding a pillow to your seat. Not needed but it feels nice. Customer service. Badger has hands down, no joke the absolute best customer service I have seen anywhere. Before I even bought an airbrush I emailed Badger with a question and the CEO called me to give me an answer. Then he said he would be happy to answer any other questions might have and would help be figure out the best airbrush for my needs. Again this is the CEO not some minimum wage off shore customer service representative. Warranty. Badger offers a 100% warranty on their products for life. Yes, at any time you have an issue with your airbrush you send it back to them and they will fix it. American made. To some this matters and to others it doesn't, both camps are ok. Badger is 100% made in America, they source their parts and assemble in the heart of America. Drawbacks: There are only 2 possible drawbacks I can share with this airbrush and even then they are super minor if that. The smallest Tip and Needle available for this airbrush is 0.3 mm. Now before you become concerned with this I will share that I was able to spray a 0.018" thick line easily with this setup so 99% of what you are going to spray this airbrush can do. Oh and when I did spray this I wasn't getting bogged down with "dry tip" or clogs. Badger uses a priority thread for their air hose attachment. That just means you need to buy their quick disconnect instead of a generic. It isn't even expensive and you are going to be getting one for your setup anyway so again, it is only a minor if anything of a drawback.

Nice quality
