Maniac Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I guess that question is discussed for a million times! I need an airbrush witch can do anything I imagine in plane modeling. Money are not so important as I intend to buy it once (actually twice, already have one) :lol: . Here in my country I can buy two brands - Paasche and Hansa. As far as I see Paasche has richer production line than Hansa, but that doesn't mean anything! So models in store are Paasche - VSR 90#1; VLS-SET; VJR#1 and Hansa 581. I guess that full line of both is orderable so if there is anything better just say. Thanks in advance. :D Regards, Penko Halachev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeV Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Penko, Either brand should be fine for your modeling. I would say to find the one that you like the feel of the most and is easiest to find parts for if you should need them and buy that one. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maniac Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 O.K. Mike! Let's say that I choose Paasche. Witch one of all? Thera are so many... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeV Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Penko, The only one I am familiar with is the Paasche VL model which is still very popular with some people. I would prefer a Badger or Thayer & Chandler airbrush but I guess that is not an option for you where you are at. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ricardo Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I've had both and hansa is WAY much better. HTH, Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maniac Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Witch Hansa model, Ricardo? As far as I see the models with smaller nozzle - 0.2mm, always has small cup - 2ml and no seal for it. Please advise! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Witch Hansa model, Ricardo? As far as I see the models with smaller nozzle - 0.2mm, always has small cup - 2ml and no seal for it. Please advise! What do you mean by "no-seal"? The Aero Pro line is great. It's got controlled double action, which means that you just pull the lever and the air/paint mixing is automatic. If you want a top of the line airbrush, you may get a Harder and Steenbeck Evolution. Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maniac Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Well, models with small nozzle 0.2mm, as far as I see have no seal for paint cup. This looks a little bit disturbing for me. I fear to buy other brands than HANSA and PAASCHE, because if something goes wrong with them I'll have to wait for months to get a spare part. Don't know what to do and what to buy! :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I think some hansa airbrushes are not suitable for lacquers or enamels since the seals are not made of teflon. Bare that in mind when buying it. Ricardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
