Your channel is the most comprehensive collection of modeling paints on the internet; thanks a ton.

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome buddy

[@robertanderson9584]

I'm returning to modelling after a break of 38 years and having never airbtushed before I have been you tubing like crazy to make informed choice of airbrush by learning what they can do etc. Your video "How to Airbrush Acryllics. Perfect every time" has been very informative, as you made it easy to understand.

[@michaelanderson3488]

I have been spending hours watching your reviews and have begun my journey into model WWII airplanes. Therefore all the reviews you have done I have been viewing everything that would advance my building skills. As a teacher who is retired I enjoy a well spoken and technically competent . Thank you

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks Mike, it's much appreciated. Any questions you may have just ask

[@peckc16]

Got into this hobby about a year ago. Used to play video games a lot, but with working from home all the time at my desk I needed a new no screen hobby. This channel has become a hobby in itself for me as I prep my list for moving into airbrushing.

[@ray4334]

I am not really into model building. Now I have some pinball play fields that I want to touch up to get back to nice looking condition. I have been watching your videos on reviews and fluid tests and feel this is what I need to work with next. I have an "ooold" single stage from the 70's that I played around with on a car's flames for my son. I really need to grab something like this to get back into my hobbies. Thanks again for sharing all you have in the past and future.

[@Matthew_Dubroq]

Man, the best part of your reviews are how thorough they are. Keep these coming man, greatly appreciated!!

[@timothydaley3801]

This man is so informative!!! I returned to Gunpla after a 15 year hiatus. This time I’m looking into getting into more detailing and not OOB building. Learned so much just watching his videos!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@kristophernash3626]

I just love how laid back your reviews are. You cover all the important points and just so mellow about it.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend

[@howardtrant9521]

Just got back into modeling (after 30 years) and have been looking at Airbrushes. Didn’t really consider a Badger until I saw this. I had a basic Badger 350 back in the day that was reliable, but think a dual action will serve better. I want to thank you for your tips and reviews. They’ve really been helpful and helped get me oriented to the wide range of paints and tools available today.

[@rdg5310]

I bought a Badger 150 back in 1984. I custom painted HO scale And O scale trains with it for 20 years. I had also purchased a Paasche in 1994. Honestly, the Badger had given flawless paint jobs over the years. I ended up giving that air brush to a friend for his painting purposes. After seeing your reviews on both Badger guns from you, I'm really considering going back to Badger. Thanks for the review.

[@barbatosrex9473]

The new Patriots are awesome

[@billbowman8747]

I owned a Badger way back in the day. Recently got back into the hobby after a 40-year hiatus. This was most helpful.

[@adriangrimoire3213]

Love the reviews, and having one great channel to have them under. I can’t begin how many times I search for a paint or have questions about a paint, and boom, it’s already been reviewed. Thanks for being such a huge support.

[@paulayala4816]

I have had a Badger 200NH single action airbrush for over 20 years, probably 30 years "I think I bought it when I worked at a hobby store." It has served me well, up until the other day when I began to paint my guitar with it. One of the things I love about this airbrush is it's all metal construction after these many years it still looks brand new.

[@biglouie69]

My big clumsy hands would really appreciate the high roller trigger. Especially after a 50 year “break” from model building. Great review!

[@mightyeagle64]

I like what you do it helps a lot. Thank you for the time you spend do it.

[@clairestaffieri4398]

Your detailed description of whatever you are presenting is appreciated. Your opinion/take on products and tools has been very helpful. Thank you. Regarding your give away, I have everything I need. So, thanks anyway.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you for the kind words, it's much appreciated

[@socko47]

BR, The time you put in to do videos is to be appreciated by all. There is always some nugget to take away. Thanks.

[@MichaelThomas-bb6mz]

Great video, I got back into model building after 45 yrs. Your airbrush videos have been a treasure trove of information. Thank you.

[@tiednote3717]

I recently started building, finished my first with the MG Eclipse I got for Christmas and I'm already hooked building another kit. I've been lurking on r/gunpla and love seeing all the painted kits and found your videos while researching as I'd like to start painting soon. Thank you for your detailed reviews!

[@repeters1]

I really enjoyed your video. It was very informative and I think I may look into a Patriot airbrush for myself. I bought my first airbrush back in the 70's off of a Snap-On tool truck and never used it until about 3 years ago. It was a Paasche VL with the 3 needles, bottles and accessories and in a cardboard organizer. Back in the mid 50's when I was building model cars and plains, I used a regular brush to paint them. If I had an airbrush back then, I can only think of how much nicer they would have looked, no runs, sags or messes. I have just got back into model trains and have been reading a lot about weathering them and would love to try my hand at it. Thanks again for the very informative vid.

[@timschull9707]

I have learned a lot of things to do with air brushing from watching ur vids. I am very new to this part of painting. It has really expanded my model rail road with weathering and painting my buildings and rolling stock. No more brush marks on anything. Now if I could learn how to shoot glitter paint out of one of these air brushes so I could teach my wife. Life would be complete and everything would be covered in glitter. The wife is one sparkly woman. Lol

[@aarnoorell732]

I'm just starting to get into the hobby and learn something new every time I watch your channel.

[@stealthbomber2126]

The Extreme Patriot looks to be top quality. I have been a Badger fan for many years, owning an Aspire Compressor, and two single action airbrushes. Thanks for the tutorials, it has really helped and I enjoy the hobby so much more.

[@chrisfoster5717]

I really enjoy watching your videos since I'm a beginner and all your videos helps me out on understanding the way to use airbrushs.Thank you so much for doing these videos.

[@toffeesw4074]

I really like your profile photo of Grendizer it takes me back in time to beautiful childhood I’m surprised to know that you as an American know about him. I have two 105 patriot with all needle sizes bought it from usairbrush for a really good price long time for the shipping but the price is worth it. I must get the high roller trigger for both. Keep up the good work man.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I have an admiration for super robots. Wonderful memories

[@scottholm897]

Im grateful for your reviews they are very helpful in this hobby. I didn't know where to start before finding your channel and its been a learning experience ever since. Thank you for all you do.

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome buddy, I'm doing my best 👍

[@vitaminpwn]

i'm just getting back into model building after a few years and decided to try out using an airbrush and i picked up a madworks m201 and a compressor from harbor freight. your videos have been invaluable to me learning the ins and outs of airbrushing. thanks for everything to you do to help people with this hobby.

[@ZeroRaven87]

Love the videos, and your reply to my question about threading on the Tamiya bottles, its for that kind of info that I followed this channel!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks buddy

[@dwightatnorthernstar1820]

Sooo many products made in Japan, China, etc. At least this is made in the USA and works well. My Patriot is great and my Krome very nice. Now the trick is paint thinning that we all need to master as it is a case by case trial per the brand of paint, Gloss, flat and Satin, Craft acrylics, acrylics that have a petroleum base, enamels , and lacquers . etc....your videos really help, and using lacquer thinner or mineral spirits really clean things up. I clean until fluid is clear, then flush with hot water, thanks!

[@SkewedVisionsGames]

I just wanted to say thank you for all you've helped me learn about airbrushing and model making. Thanks to you, I have added yet another hobby to my growing list! (also recently got some old Gunpla out from storage from back in the early 2000s when I thought "Pshhh, I don't need to paint these". I think it's time to refresh those builds). I look forward to more spoon painting in the future!

[@josephdipaoloii3374]

Nice overview of the Xtreme Patriot. When I bought my Patriot 105 a couple of years back, I did just what you suggested: bought the high roller trigger and plastic finger grip, along with the black-knob super detail needle and tip. I call it my Xtreme Budget Patriot! I especially appreciate your testing with various paint mediums, and especially your standalone paint tests.

[@Chuck_Carolina]

Good stuff Rex, thanks for playing!

[@dwells77]

I have a Badger 360 from years ago. It was a pretty good brush for acrylics. At the time (around 2004-2005) I was painting model trains with Badger Model Flex paint. Thanks for all that you do with the reviews and tests!

[@johnroden5362]

I don’t know what I would do without you. Thank you for everything you do on this channel!!!

[@anthonylopez4630]

I have recently got hooked on modelling again after 30 years have been building my stash up of car kits and military and my stash of supplies have not built any yet going to start practicing with airbrush first as new to me your videos have helped a lot but keep buying more stuff I keep seeing. Oh well it will be worth it in the end . Keep up the good content 👌

[@poppafiveone]

Good to see the comparison of the two brushes and trying out on the 4 different mediums. No short cuts in your Tests.

[@larryclontz6245]

Been watching all your videos Trying to figure out which airbus to buy I started with a Harbor freight It does OK

[@yotsie32]

I just got back into modeling and have learned a tremendous amount from your videos. I never used an airbrush until you inspired me to try it. You really close the gap on the learning curve with your tips and tricks. Now I wish I would've tried airbrushing as a kid instead of brush painting everything. Keep up the great content!

[@bubblepuppie6341]

Had a tub full of my modeling supplies stolen when we were moving that included my 30 year old Badger, a very reliable airbrush for sure, was about time to buy a new one anyhow, been doing models for many years but have learned a few new things from your video's, love your clean work area and organized/clean bottle's/brushes etc. etc.

[@mikkopla9969]

Your video's are practically my airbrush/ paint bible. Keep up the fantastic work. Really glad you started making your content.

[@jasonmoreno1402]

I appreciate all the spoons that have been tested over the years on this channel, continue the great work. That case looks amazing for the airbrush.

[@raymondbrudnicki1850]

Looks like a beautiful airbrush. I watch these videos when posted with my wife. She thinks a airbrush would improve the quality of my finished models but I have not gotten one yet even though I have a booth and compressor already, just have not gotten a airbrush yet. Seeing this one makes that want even greater. Thanks for the videos I learned a ton watching them.

[@JeremyVS]

I found your channel recently, as I've been getting back into model building. Thank you so much for all of the thorough tests you do, they are great to see!

[@artnutting893]

I'm just getting back into model building. You have been a long help of me. Thank you. ART

[@terdman1234]

Keep up the good works Barbatos rex, I've just started my Gunpla about a month ago and now starting to do airbrush with them. Your videos help me a lot and give me all sorts of ideas for my gundams. Your video "Testing Createx Wicked colors" help me so much, can't wait to have my own hobby room just like yours.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks buddy, I have a detailed Wicked Candy Colors video coming too

[@terdman1234]

@@barbatosrex9473 oh heck yeah can't wait 😁

[@Nimrod77]

My last airbrush was a badger and lasted me for years. Great to see they still make quality products.

[@MarkDrisch]

if you get a working one maybe.

[@joerhodes213]

I have to be up at 4 in the morning for work. I figured 5 hrs of sleep would be good. I laid down and noticed you posted a video. Well....4 hrs of sleep is ok, too!!!👍👍

I hear ya, I watch all my favorites when I hit the sack. Thank you for having me as one of your favorites

[@SDNoel73]

Just recently started in on Gunpla building. I've been using your videos to help me learn how to start in on air brushing. Thanks for all of the great info!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Send me pics of your builds as you go

[@jdk492]

Duuuuuude your videos have informed me so well over the past couple of years. Thank you for your consistent and super informative content.

[@Gnomenutz]

Great rundown of the capabilities of the airbrush. I always enjoy watching your equipment and paint tests.

[@Grayhammer]

I stumbled onto your videos by mistake and found some helpful tips. Been liking at setting myself up with a air brush kit. Mostly for miniatures and terrain painting for dungeon and dragons. Thanks for the good advice

[@JasonMcGuffin]

Got started in 2020 after a couple decades away. Loving airbrushing. Have built several kits, but my production speed went down because of adding painting. BUT your videos helped me cut down a ton of learning curve.

[@Squanto22]

Without a doubt you are my go to guy for hobby product reviews. I love your work!

[@johnm5658]

Seems like a nice easy to use airbrush! Haven't done any airbrushing for probably 35 years! I think it's time to get back to it! Nice video

[@albundy8595]

You are my go to for reviews for anything and everything in the hobby. The airbrush looks perfect for preshading for wargaming models!

[@danzo5521]

I have a 105 and its my favorite out of the three airbrushes I've used. It cleans great, sprays great, and was a fair price. Definitely interested in this Xtreme model

[@michaelrizzo3470]

I find your videos very helpful. I never used an airbrush before. The badger appears to be well made and give a long service life. Your knowledge is very appreciated. It helps me make well informed purchases. Thank you very much.

[@garymurphy5133]

The amount of vids you put out is amazing, more so that the content is always worth watching. The amount of tools/equipment you review as surly helped many.Thanks for the time you take to do it.

You're welcome buddy

[@joesanchez979]

Great video just started scale modeling I used to build 1/72 scale when I was a kid but health issues in my life took me away from my favorite hobby.Thanks for showing me different airbrushes keep it coming.🙂

[@jamogable]

the paint shaker really has been prominent in the bench since you have started using it.. It's really hard to find quality tools for the hobby in my neck of the woods but thanks to your content I have standards to compare what would be useful for what I want the tool to be.. thanks a lot!

[@barbatosrex9473]

The paint shaker is fantastic. I use it every day. Another comment here says it's the best thing he's bought in long time

[@TheHolyEpic]

Really appreciate how thorough you are with your reviews, especially since I'm still very green when it comes to gunpla. Thanks Rex!

[@timanderson5543]

Always good to have an airbrush.I only use acrylics with no big problems.

Thanks for all of your videos. I'm just getting back into the hobby after many years and your videos have really helped me.

[@EasyKill7]

Haven't ever owned an airbrush, but I have been working my way back into modelling after now decades of being gone. Ive been watching many reviews of airbrushes and tools.

[@johnmarksmith1120]

Hey BR, thanks for another great video. Thanks for all of the tests and reviews you do to keep your viewers in the know. The content you put out is full of relevant, useful and actionable material. 30 nippers tested, 15 decal solutions tested!? Practically every Primer available on the market tested? Who does that? Keep up the great work!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend I will 👍

[@brandiestes5222]

I’m just getting into the hobby and your channel is by far my favorite. Everything is well put together and I’ve learned so much. Love your tests on everything.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend 👍

[@pedropete258]

Thanks for the review Rex. I’ve used the Patriot before and tried to adjust the trigger pressure but then I started to have a lot of spatter while airbrushing and it didn’t click until one day I accidentally tightened it all the way after a deep clean and now the issues are practically non existent. Had even ordered a new needle set thinking it was a bent needle or cracked nozzle. Just a FYI.

[@briannicholas2757]

I really appreciate your videos, it's nice to have a reliable and trustworthy source to go to when I'm looking for paints, or equipment. You have been extremely helpful in my research about airbrushing. Im the kinda guy who does lots of research before starting something. I have been building model ships and 25mm miniature figures since I was a kid, currently I'm 56 and disabled so I'm an old dog, and I've always painted using brushes. I usually do 1/350 scale kits, but I am planning on tackling some much larger scale kits (a Revell 1/144 Fletcher class WWII destroyer, which I'm going to make for our local veteran's center, and a 1/200 scale Arizona which a dear friend gave me as a birthday gift). So I figure trying to brush such large pieces will be difficult to do without leaving obvious brush strokes. So I decided it was time for me to learn airbrushing. I watched some tutorials and such from other people, but I found they really were just either selling the product, or really couldn't teach the way out of a paper bag. Your channel is so much better, your not pushing anything and if it's not a good product you say so. So thanks, and after I do get my airbrush set up I know you will be my go to for reliable information.

[@bigchef2112]

That would be a nice edition. After I started watching your channel, I have bought around 200 paints. I also got the 289. I love it. I like the ability to control air with the Mac valve. Then my wife got me the 4 E’s vortex mixer and patriot 105 for Christmas. After your preview of nippers I purchased a set of single blade cutters from micro mark. Keep the great reviews coming. I always share your link when people ask about mixing, spraying etc.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Wow, I have a true fan here. Thanks buddy, I wouldn't stear you wrong. You've got all good equipment there. You can't beat great tools for the job. Have a great day 👍

[@kennethickes700]

Always great source of information. The links make it easy to follow as of something is desirable I can find it!

[@scottbuildsthemall5124]

I actually won one of these at an IPMS USA Nationals in the raffle. The Badger president was in the vendor room, by luck, and suggested using Loctite to keep the small screw in position. I still need to do some experiments to better understand the uses for the additional adjustment. I have a few Badger airbrush models, and really like their products.

[@p51d10]

I appreciate your airbrushing videos. I have learned a lot from you, and my own airbrushing skills have improved thanks to you.

[@loenloki]

I got a old busted up airbrush secondhand recently to try to see if I liked this hobby. I love it so I am really looking for expanding to newer models continuing this hobby

[@schwiftyvibes2612]

Hey man, just want to say that I really appreciate all of the time and effort you put into these reviews. Watch every single one of them as my lady and I are always looking to pick up the next best supplies. We both have been into mode building for quite some time and your content definitely keeps us informed.

[@jarheadcollector4560]

I just recently got myself a set up for miniature and model painting. I started off with a Master airbrush because I couldnt justify spending spending so much in case I didnt like it. But I love watching your videos for tips that kept the one I got running smooth for the time being.

[@picolascage7762]

Always love your videos, super helpful and professional. And you really get to the knitty gritty and give helpful tips. Really thankful for your video on how to brush acrylics. Saved a beginner like me 😅. Wonderful new video and Take care!

That tall trigger seems pretty cool. It looks like it should be comfortable. Thanks again for the videos they have been very helpful.

[@timcarson8146]

Like a few others, I have come back after 30+ years away and am loving the advances in the hobby. I bought the paint shaker after seeing your review. A bit pricey but well worth it. Getting into airbrushing now...definitely a challenge for me but I will stick with it. Thanks for another great review!

[@Moggray87]

So much information packed into your reviews/videos. Enjoy these videos as you can really showcase all the different tests you do so we can see results in real time. Normally longer videos some people would just babble on without actually showing us anything but yours seem to always have information in everything you say. Keep up the great work!

[@cheezgod]

As someone that is wanting to get into painting my gunpla, I love all of your reviews and insights on pretty much everything!

[@jacopor.grandis8848]

Love to follow these tests of yours, they are so instructive. It's cool to see you enjoy sharing your experience.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@laxur1312]

I bought a Patriot after watching your review a couple of months ago. Just tried it today and I love it! Especially because it's so easy to clean compared to my cheap airbrush.

[@barbatosrex9473]

A great airbrush for sure. One of my favorites and I have a dozen airbrushes.

[@jamesdenison7773]

Thorough as always! Really appreciate the depth of these reviews. I discovered Alclad through your channel and it’s a game changer. Anyone who paints models should be subscribed. Keep it up!

[@Daleshobbies612]

I’m excited for the new review on the Badger. Just bought my first airbrush after watching your review on the Badger Patriot. It helped me make the decision between the Badger and the Paasche.

[@Andy_Yates]

I'm still new to airbrushing but I've learned so much from your content already. I have an 8 gallon compressor in my garage so I picked up a regulator, in-line desiccant, Iwata 10' air line, and a Master G444 airbrush with the 3 needle sizes. I actually got it all set up and leak free today. I haven't run color through it yet but it sprays the Medea airbrush cleaner nicely. Tomorrow I'll have my mug ready with hot water to clean out my Vallejo colors 🙌👍

[@barbatosrex9473]

You are good to go my friend 👍

[@skid7666]

Badger has an amazing repair program, any issues with the airbrush due to any reason, misuse, broken, or worn, they will fix your airbrush for only the cost of shipping it to them and if any part is replaced the cost is very minimal. Ken also does a yearly birthday sale where EVERY airbrush is on sale for the price of his age

[@vchanet]

Thanks you for all the paint tests and congrats on your own paint line!

[@usmcomarrah]

I really like your in depth testing and reviewing. Thanks for the info!

[@TheModelerChronicles]

Thanks for all your great reviews. I've made several purchases based on your recommendations and was never disappointed! I've never had a badger airbrush but I think it's time to change that.
