Single needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums, inks, dyes, watercolors, acrylics, enamels, lacquers, glazes, latex, Air-Opaqueª, Air-Tex ®, MODELflex ® Totally Tattoo ® and Totally Tanª colors The Patriot is a low maintenance airbrush, easy to clean and simple to operate; it will spray any properly reduced paint or airbrush-ready media. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234976552-iwata-triple-action-handle-issues/?fromsearch=1 The main question is how fine do you need to spray and what are the largest areas you are looking to cover and what is your current setup giving you?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). Single needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums, inks, dyes, watercolours, acrylics, enamels, laquers and latex 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. 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. Its two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Patriot’s cone shaped nozzle, enabling a single needle/nozzle configuration to spray a variety of materials, while eliminating the need for multiple needle/nozzle variations. It has a 1/3 ounce permanently mounted color cup with a convenient spill-proof cap. Mine has a rubber pad on the trigger, which I really like. But, Badger has discontinued this feature.

I'm thinking about upgrading from my Iwata Revolution BCR. I upgraded the airbrush with a 0.3 mm nozzle and 0.35 mm needle (the 0.3 won't fit the triple action handle). The 0.35 mm is great for detailed work, but it doesn't give great coverage for base coats (see the patchy job below). Unfortunately it's a pain to swap out needles, nozzles, and the action on the handle when I want to paint a larger area. The needle bearing is Teflon, and Badger will replace it free if it ever wears out or gets damaged. Maybe I should change the focus of this thread. What would you recommend for broad applications if I could only afford a single brush? Eg something like the H&S brush with easily interchangeable needles and nozzles for both fine work and base coats.
