Title: Latest Purchase
Post by: Pete Nottingham on March 04, 2014, 07:33:30 PM

I bought this airbrush last week,  the AB-180

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y5/brodiedog/AB-180-1000-wide_zpsbd44b33d.jpg)

It was a great price just £27.95,  it seems well made, it is chunky but has a good solid feel to it, I haven't used it in anger yet but have tried it out on CS10 paper and it appears to do a good job, from fine lines to a good wide spray, it has a 0.2mm needle and nozzle which you can buy replacements for also independent air and paint adjustment.  I also found that it was very easy to clean, for acrylics I just rinsed the cup out and sprayed clear water then back flushed it, I repeated this a second time and bingo it was clean, just for good measure I ran some A/B cleaner through it and everything looked good.

Cheers

Pete.

Looks great, Pete -

But I think I'll stick to my 'hairbrush' mark one!!!
