Pros: Easy use and cleaning. High detail for the money.
Cons: none

I use this airbrush for all the work I currently do with the exception of large areas which I reserve for the Pasche VL. A step below the microns and a step above the HP-C. This gives you about as much detail as you can get without forking out that micron money.

Pros: great quality excellent spray characteristics
Cons: small threads on nozzle easy to strip

This is a very nice detail airbrush. It is well balanced and can spray hairlines with ease. Parts can be expensive but they last a long time. I have only had to replace the nozzle once in about 5 years. As a side note I would recommend that the needle be treated carefully when cleaning as the tip is very delicate.

Pros: produces a very nice spray, easy to handle
Cons:

I love this brush! It's the work horse in my studio. Fine line or wide spray, this airbrush does well with little adjustment. No needles to change for different size lines, easy to maintain and clean. A must have for the illustrator or fine artist.

Pros:
Cons:

Very nice for detailing. Seems very easy to control unless drawing hair-thin details. This one is capable of hair-thin lines but the controll is not too nice at that extreme. For anything larger this seems very easy to controll.

One of my favourites brushes indeed when painting something smaller than the medium range but yet larger than the very tiny region. For the extremely small details in the hair width you might like something yet better like a Custom Micron.

Does not handle thick paints at all. Needs a low-viscosity paint (or a thinned down paint).

Pros: Good feel,excellent detail brush for the price!!
Cons: none

A really good detail brush. I wouldn\'t recommend it for an \"only\" brush only cause it doesn\'t have a wide pattern but when coupled with a hp-c or anthem you wouldn\'t be able to get the smile off your face!! If I lost this brush, I would replace it

Pros: comfortable
Cons:

i got one of these for my second airbrush (man am i glad i did), which was actually my final attempt at getting into airbrushing, due to bad equipment and paints i almost gave up on the whole idea of airbrushing until i held this baby in my hand and sprayed the first few strokes. it was like someone turned the lights on, its a joy to use compared to the other airbrush's i tried before(aztec and paasche)

super clean and quick color changes. (run a little shot of windex through the bowl and your ready for next color)

easy to use and maintain. (paint does not collect internally and dry like my first airbrush.)

comfortable to use and hold for long periods time.

amazing detail.
