The airbrushes I use are a Patriot 105 and a Grex TG2. Covers all my bases. Limiting the needle with the back knob can be as detail as I want while still getting good coverage if I pull it further back. I spray a lot of acrylic inks with it and just works. I do prefer the wider opening of the 105 for ease of cleaning, but that's a small gripe when, as you say, it is a comfortable tool to use. Appreciate your videos and look forward to more!

RainX windshield washer fluid works wonders for final rinse. Really helps prolong tip dry from starting (with acrylics). Also I use it on my tip cleaning “towel”. For five years now and I haven’t had to replace not one single o ring in either of my Airbrush Masters airbrushes. But I also put glycerin in my thinner, so that may help as well.

As usual awesome review. Very helpful. I felt I did not need this much airbrush so I went with the badger 105 based off your review on that. Little more budget friendly.

[@chuchuchip]

I have the TS & TG models. My kits came the 2, 3 & 5 size needles & the fan air cap, the 3 sizes of paint cups. I also found the 50cc metal paint cups for both guns. These cups are HUGE which I use when painting my bicycles with #5 needle. If you get a #7 needle, get one of these or larger cups. You're probably spraying a larger project requiring a lot more media for coverage.

It's an interesting airbrush. I own the Monument Hobbies version of the TR3. I am not too fond of the Grex system, for me it's just too many parts to clean.

Ok, thanks@@barbatosrex9473

[@bryantdunbar3476]

Thank you for the great review. Just a couple of things, the name of the airbrush is pronounced Trit-e-um (think, Spiderman comics/movie) but don't feel bad, I've heard a lot worse,,,lol. You compare the threaded fluid nozzle to the press fit of the Badger, like anything ther are pros and cons. Like you say, using a wrench to remove the fluid nozzle is a bit inconvenient. However, the threaded style helps ensure perfect fluid nozzle and needle alignment. With that said it's appreciated that you mention the quality of the machining of parts and positive interface of the wrench to the fluid nozzle. When you bubble back I do recommend keeping the the needle cap on the airbrush. The bubble back effect won't be compromised and ensures the needle remains protected. When using the crown cap I gently pinch the crown cap between my thumb and index finger to create a similar seal and bubble back that way. Again the needle remains protected. It's great that you show the trigger stop feature. For general coverage and semi fine line work it does the job nicely. However, when doing fine line work I do recommend developing a good hand eye coordination. With a lot of paint companies going to water based acrylics these days these paints are often susceptible to tip dry issues. So with the trigger stop turned down that much, paint performance may suffer. Every so often I have to "goose" the trigger with a full shot of paint to avoid negative fine line performance with these types of paint. Doing this helps expel paint that's starting to tip dry and introduces fresh paint into the nozzle needle interface. A good way to practice fine line work is to get 3x5 note cards and try to do a fine line over the ruled lines on the card. You will get some wiggle as that is natural (we all have a heart beat) but it helps develop your hand/eye coordination. Lastly, and I see this in some of the comments, Grex does make corresponding fan caps for the .3mm, .5mm and .7mm needles. The fan caps are sold individually as well as in kit format similar to what you describe in the video. We do recommend the fan cap be matched with the appropriate size needle and fluid nozzle for optimal performance. Overall a great video and thank you for your effort. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us or me directly- [e-mail] or [e-mail]

But it’s black instead of green, and it doesn’t have the unnecessary magnetic shroud. And It only cost $45. And it works great. In fact the only problem I have is my tankless compressor, so no complaints, especially since I saved $140+. And a QD with mac valve & 6 nipples $12. But if money were no object I would have Grex airbrushes because honestly once you get over a hundred bucks, the differences become so minuscule, it’s not really worth the extra cost.

I paid the minimum for a decent compressor with a tank and got a crap airbrush in the deal. Now that I’ve familiarized again with the process the airbrush is inconsistent and annoying.

Hi love your review videos. Im very new to airbrushing and I am learning a lot from your work. Would this work with one of the cordless compressors. I purchased the basic Noname compressor from spray gunner

[@Bob0sModelFabWorx]

I paint a lot of large scale, (1/12th and larger), model car bodies and was looking at this airbrush. It has a fan cap that can be added and that would allow for a larger spray area over the standard cap. I was hoping to see a spray pattern with this one. From what I could tell, it is no different than any other airbrush. Do you have plans to get, and feature, the fan cap?

[@whiterose7055]

I have the TG5 and the fan cap kit and use it a lot (for large scale models) . It is definitely worth the extra cash, however using the larger fan cap nozzle requires more air (flow as opposed to pressure) than some airbrush compressors can deliver, so make sure your setup can deliver the higher CFM requirements. You can get around the CFM flow requirement by buying an extra air tank and using as a reservoir to supplement it. The air compressor that I have is an 1/8 hp setup with a small tank (pretty much the same compressor sold under many brand names. ) I purchased a 10 gal tank and piped in parallel with the other tank before the air regulator so both tanks feed the air brush. When running the TG5 with fan cap I can supply the brush with enough flow to operate correctly with a bonus that now I can get a in more than 15 minutes of constant air feed to the brush under high flow conditions before the air compressor cuts in !!!! I could have bought a larger capacity air compressor but this one is so quiet; the larger ones were louder. Everything in engineering requires some sort of compromise to meet the set of circumstances at hand. Have fun painting :)

[@jimhantsch]

@@barbatosrex9473 I was also thinking that. Some of the ones on Amazon are good, but some are not. The advantage of the Hobby Mio one is that it stands up so it doesn't need to be worked over the fan, but in front of it. The Hobby Mio seems to be in the price range of all the others which is around $70. Issues that customers have is how well the fan works at removing dust and the motor being too loud. Maybe the more powerful ones have to be loud to provide enough suction to work right.

So airbrushes with handle is single action?

[@cjadams7434]

No the grex are actually dual action..pull half way you get air...pull more you add paint...there are indents so you can really fell it nicely

[@geo0711]

Ironic that you uploaded this test video today. Just saw this brand at my local Hobby Town earlier. They offered a whole set that came with the compressor, the hose, a quick release, trigger brush with handle, 3 or maybe 4 different cups and several other items for a little over $400.00. There was also a slightly smaller bundle for around $380.00.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes, not cheap but their compressors are great too. And if you need everything you can't go wrong with that set

[@geo0711]

@@barbatosrex9473 Glad I know that now thanks to your videos. I'm gonna try and pick up the bundle. Your videos really have helped steer me toward some excellent products, paints, and tools since I got back into Gunpla back in July. Thanks for that!

@@geo0711 FYI: Grex customer and parts support is excellent! Parts are reasonably priced too.

[@dwightatnorthernstar1820]

Thanks. I think they are made in Wisconsin, American made....correction: made in Taiwan, American company. Its Badger that is made in US

[@kevinbelanger4134]

Dwight the grex airbrush is made in Taiwan designed in USA

Yeah, Badger are out of a suburb in Chicago. They machine everything on-site with a lifetime warranty. Anything goes wrong, you just pay the shipping and they'll take care of it. I absolutely love their products, and their Sotar is a dream. I do wish they had some trigger options because some of the priming sessions my fingers would love that.

I think the procon 290 is a better brush. But I find it funny you complained about a handle for a airbrush lol. All the mundane stuff you buy and that’s what you don’t like is a $20-$25 handle? I’m sure you could pass on paint for once or a kit and get a handle lol anyways good video though.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I had a huge Aztek collection. I still have a few of them, brand new in the package too. I started off with one. Love those to this day

[@philmcbride1871]

Good review, I can do without the extra cups and caps, magnets seem like a gimmick. Nice airbrush.

[@barbatosrex9473]

These companies are always looking to add a little something extra to set them apart from the other companies. But overall a very nice airbrush

[@jackwills7092]

From USA

[@jackwills7092]

160 usd + 70 usd postage from the UK far too much money
