….forgot, we love 🇨🇦 ! Good riddance Trudeau!

Acrylics will never be like lacquers…the latter spraying with no tip dry properly thinned…but the respirator, spray booth, etc…I’ll pass except for my most demanding airbrush requirement as 1/72 model aircraft Luftwaffe mottling.

4011 is junk, 4021 is even superior to the ole reliable, 4012.

I had the little V back in the early '90s and I absolutely LOVED that V2 head - incredible performance from that nozzle size... I used to turn up a special aircap for it by hand which made it even better... I gave it away to a friend back in 2000 or so and although I was happy to do that, I with I still had it for nostalgia's sake! Lovely little thing... W

Great review, I have a large supply of 4011 that I have to run thru before I can get the 4021. Thanks!

Ive been trying to find a paasche vjr for a while and they are impossible to find. Seems nobody wants to part with theirs lol

Interesting use of the Mendez texture stencils--when you did the layer of black it really added a lot of depth. Spraying candies over this would be even better. Sometimes I lightly mist areas with pearl pigments as well. I recently got a bottle of the 2021 reducer but haven't used it enough to say if I like it or not...I'm used to using distilled water for reducing all my water-based paints--E'tac, Createx, Aqua Flow, and Medea/Comart. Tonight I'm going to be using my new H & S 2024 Evolution CRPlus solow/ the new 0.28 mm needle/nozzle that just arrived yesterday. I'll also be using the new 4021 reducer w/ Createx Illustration opaque white as well as Candy2O colors....on black paper card stock and envelopes. Time to paint now...

👍👍👍🙏

It’s ok still tip dry

But does it come with longer drying time? I use a lot of masking techniques.

Got mine from spray gunner,I still got tip dry some reason

Yo! What’s happening, thank you for sharing your experience with this new reducer. I saw Spray Gunner advertise this product. They showed how to reduce/mix the paint but did not demonstrate on the video how it reduced tip dry.

Hi, perhaps I missed it in the video, but are you using the V-1 or the V-2 size assembly? I actually got my hands on an old M8 recently, which was the V's predecessor, made sometime around 1940. The one I picked up came with the .66mm assembly and I am toying with the idea of picking up the .245mm needle/tip/cap. It's amazing that you can still get parts for these old brushes!

Great work Colin. Following your art holy shit impressive man.

Have to agree about the drop off of quality with later Paasche airbrushes, I bought a VL back in the 70s as my first airbrush and I loved the thing, I decided to retire it a few years ago and bought a newer VL which I really didn't like at all, the quality of the finish and construction was much cheaper than my old faithful, so she got dragged out of retirement... a friend gave me a box of a half dozen or so V brushes in various states of repair for free, I set about restoring them and fell in love with the versatility of them and what could be achieved with them. Brilliant airbrush

I've been working with the paasche VL double action for 30 years love it. No problems with it. And I can still get parts.

Still have mine bought in mid 80s.

Sorry, airbrush Paasche VJR, what year was it built with red handle? please.

Thanks for the detailed assembly! I just bought two vintage v brushes that need some new parts and I'm looking forward to using them. I love the feel and size of these airbrushes.

COLIN it’s been forever man how and where have you been? 👀

I don't know those brushes, But my VL was the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. It's siphon fed and a huge air hog. It has totally soured me on Paasche. I considered trying a Talon or Vision to do a review on my airbrush channel.

Fantastic video, buddy.
