Airbrushing tips and tricks for scale modeling 

I love by Badgers! They may not be the prettiest airbrushes but they are rock solid and Badger customer service is amazing. They have fixed so many of airbrushes quickly and reasonably. My Harder Steenbecks, they are great but their seals are not so good. When I used solvent paints, H&S seals would break often. You can replace the seals on your own with an H&S but it was annoying.

David, glad you like the video. Did you know adjust the sensitivity of the 105 by adjusting the spring and and also by adjusting the tube shank. Definitely give the paint changing and backflushing a try. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hey, glad you like the video. On to your question, the thinner I’m using is my own formula. I made a video of it on my channel. The video is called “updated: how to airbrush Vallejo model air”. If you that thinner mixture…it will change your water based acrylic airbrush game. It stops tip drying, it helps the paint lay down smooth, and makes it more resilient.

Glad you like the video! The thinner I use is a mixture I created to help airbrush pure acrylic paints. I have a video on my channel of the mixture.

@@arewethereyetmodeling2196, thanks! You are right, it’s the flow improver/thinner/retarder! Ciao!

Hey oddball, the badger patriot Xtreme arrow has a reversible nozzle cap. It’s designed so if you want to get in really close and do very fine detail. You can unscrew the cap and turn it around. If you notice this exposed my needle a bit more. Hope that answers your question.

Hi Mondo, it depends on the lacquer. When I was using Hataka Orange line lacquers, 50/50 was the best mix and gave me fantastic atomization. It really depends on the paint brand.
