Mad Moose Baits Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 OK, so I have been using a cheapo Chinese airbrush I got from Amazon for $15 shipped. I have done some nice work with it and I am glad I had it so I could get to painting when I did. I just picked up a Neo for Iwata CN (gravity feed). Ummm yeah. What was I waiting for? I know it isn't a top of the line by any means but just the jump in quality (feel, craftsmanship and spray) is amazing. I noticed right away I am using a lot less air than I did with El Junko. Can't wait to do some 'gills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to do some 'gills! I have 5 of them. But 1 thing you have to watch is that you will get a lot of tip dry because the cap opening is relatively small so some paints will have to be thinned down to flow through the nozzle cap. I use only Createx Wicked Reducer for my paints. I've tried Pledge and all the other methods to thin paint but still come back to the Wicked reducer.
