Buying a detail airbrush? Watch this first.

This video is a review, buyer's guide, and comparison of the most popular detail and fine line airbrushes on the market. This includes the Iwata custom micron (cm-b), the Iwata custom micron takumi, the badger sotar 2020, the GSI Creos Mr. Hobby custom .18 PS771 (originally ps-770), and the Harder and Steenbeck Infinity and Infinity CR PLUS.
I purchased all these airbrushes over the years with my own money. I wanted to keep this video as honest as possible, but please remember that my opinions are just that- opinions. These are my subjective views on four airbrushes. At the end of the day, they are all fantastic tools. I recommend all of them but of course each has their pros and cons. Hope this video is helpful. If you have any questions, please leave them below and I'll get back to you.

I have the Badger Sotar 2020 and a Badger Patriot. An easy way to get the triggers and trigger levers in are to first screw in the back assembly. Then hold the airbrush in one hand with the front facing you. With that same hand, use your thumb and index finger to pull back on the assembly. Then put the trigger lever in and release the assembly. Next, pull back on the lever and let it sit in either of the notches toward the back which will hold the tension. Then grab your trigger and place it in then slowly release the trigger lever. Hope that helps!

Regarding the MAC valve, you might want to consider not everyone works alone. Plenty of people work in a production environment, the compressor is set at 32 PSI and you either use a MAC valve or buy a regular for every port in the shop. It's a very useful feature and costs you nothing to have on the gun.

You give every quirk of the brushes, do a real spraying review with a common well known High Quality brand water based Createx airbrush paint, not just water or ink. I have 4 Badger 20/20s, 1 Slim, 2 standard and the new one with the huge cup. I also have 1 Krome, 1 Spirit and 1 Velocity from Badgers Renegade series and the 1 H&S Infinity 2.0 w/0.15 setup and the mini cup. I upgraded an old Badger 100 SF with the 20/20 head, 0.2 needle, trigger guts, and handle, and it works much better now.... Looks Cool too.

Very well done and informative video. A comment on the Harder & Steenbeck Infinity though - I can tell from when you removed the handle that the needle is the older version which did tend to spit. A couple years ago H&S revised the needle design to eliminate that tendency. I updated my Infinity with Version 2 needles and can testify that they work much better. You can easily tell the V2 needles as the back end has several little knobs, the number of which indicates the needle size.

I feel the infinty is the best airbrush. Gives more detail and is $200 cheaper then the micron. I own the micron sotar and infinty. The micron is the least used one I use. I’m just not a big fan of iwata. I feel you pay for the name. It doesn’t ever just makes me happy. I put the long trigger on my sotar and it makes it even more responsive. If it had a bigger cup it’d be the only brush I use. My infinity is always with my .15 which gives the best detail once you get used to it.

Both are made in Japan, most likely made in same factory. Should be identical to the Creos. The Iwata needle will fit in the Creos as it's shorter

The infinity is a great airbrush, but I have issues with that controllability. No, the gsi creos is its own brand and not made by Iwata.

This video proves I need to get better with my Iwata CM-SB (side feed). Their website is now showing this as “retired” - is there a new version available? Edit: oooooh ok - so that’s what you meant by the “Takumi” … now I need to find a detailed comparison of these two! Seems the response issues I’m having with the CM-SB is due to the side feed cup not being a gravity well. The Takumi uses a gravity well for better paintflow.

Was it really only $100 for the Sotar 20/20 last year? It’s $225 now!

It's usually around $100. No idea why it's that high now. Badger usually runs a sale on their website in the summer where you can buy any airbrush (including the sotar20/20) for like $80 or so.

Interesting you didn't like harder steenbeck... It's commonly stated that iwata and h&s are the two kings when it comes to best air brushes. I may have missed your reasoning for h&s being so relatively poorly rated, but I was curious if you could elaborate on why a hundred dollar brush beats a two hundred dollar brush, I'd love to know since the sotar is half the price of a h&s.

I get the best results with the infinity. I own a ps771 and it’s good. But not worth the price might as well buy a infinty for a little more.

Not sure if you have noticed this already, but maybe this could be something to try and fix the inconsistency in the CR Plus? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/namUhceSzpnWYYE.html

Take them airbrushes and try painting gaming miniatures',and see if you draw the same conclusion. I have the Infinity the Sotar 20/20, and the Iwata CM SB V2. and i have the Airtex Selphy, my most used airbrush for miniature painting is the selphy followed by the 20/20.

Lots of people care about miniature. People don't just use air brush to base coat-people also use air brush to paint details.
