Quick Correction- At one point in this video I made a mistake and called the thinner needle a .28. The needle is a .2 and the nozzle is a .28. My apologies for that.

I recently bought the Ultra 2024. I want to say up front that I never used an airbrush before. I bought two cheap airbrush’s thinking it was the right thing to do to see if I liked airbrushing. Not the best idea I ever had! I never was able to get the paint to spray out of the two cheap airbrushes. Then as life throws curve balls, I had a leather project that called for airbrushing. Just my luck! I decided to stop messing around with the cheap junk and buy an excellent airbrush. I did my homework and found that Harder and Steenbeck had fantastic reviews, so I bought the Ultra 2024 because I watched Warick’s KZfaq videos from Harder and Steenbeck. He sold me on the airbrush for beginners. My leather project came out great! I received many “that-a-boys” for my excellent project. People thought I’ve been airbrushing all my life! Now that’s a review! You cannot go wrong with Harder and Steenbeck. Thanks Warick!!

Another excellent review and thanks for sharing.🙂

Great review. You touched on a lot subjects that a lot of reviewers just skip over. Can't wait to try one myself.

Great review as usual. This is the first H&S brush I have bought and have to say it’s a pleasure to use and everything about it screams quality. Like you, I wanted to adjust the trigger tension, in my case to make it a little softer, I replaced the spring rather than chop up the original. It would have been nice to be able to tune that on the brush as I can with most of my other brushes. To be fair it’s a once off thing when getting used to the brush. I love the head on the trigger, it’s just so easy to find the perfect spot for your trigger finger. It would be very hard to imagine anyone ever regretting purchasing one of these.

Thanks for the review👍

thanks for the review.. trigger response solved !!!!! i am so happy ❤❤❤

Brilliant airbrush by Harder and steenbeck build quality is always spot on thanks for sharing

Excellent presentation as always and very informative! I wonder though if the needle chuck & trigger can fit in the older Evo CR+ so we can fix the inconsistent trigger without buying a whole new one... 🤔

Thank you, great video. I'm revisiting this airbrush as it came in a kit, I've been using Iwata for 12 months and dug this out for detail work 😮 it's effing surgical 👌🏼

You give excellent reviews.

Best airbrush review channel on KZfaq.

I just got the black chrome one this week myself from Germany

Nice. I may have to add this to my collection.

My cousin just called to say he’s sending me a Harder & Steenbeck airbrush. I’m not even sure which one he bought me but I’m sure this will be a huge step up for me to a premium airbrush. I’m looking so forward to it.

Another brilliant review👍✌️💜😊 I always watch you and Rob (Dred), between you both, you cover everything and you're both great artists. I build/paint models - when and as my health allows - I was a reasonable artist in the past (sadly gave it up in my youth), so I appreciate what you guys do. I've also done my own car paintwork in the past too. I run my Evolution with a 0.4 set up (newer needle/nozzle set), it's a great workhorse too especially with Rob's (Dred) modification. And yes it'll do detail work too, ideal set up for acrylics. I used to work with enamels and solvent based paints - much prefer them - but even with precautions my health won't allow it (worked with too many chemicals and welding irritants in the 1980s). I wonder if the new "cam" unit (like a helical screw - ultimate control), would fit my generation of Evolution? The new trigger would. Not that I need to fit the cam assembly, with my cheap modification as suggested by Rob. I'd like to fit the new trigger and "cam" assembly to my two Infinitys though🤔 Or I'll be waiting for an alloy 2024 Infinity. Thanks again 👍✌️💜😊

I'm new to airbrushing and purchased Evolution CR Plus and wondering if there is a larger needle available for this air brush? I also have a badger which I have been using before I purchased previuosly.

I got it for $220.00 for the CR Plus in the US. And I found out that Iwata owns Hard & Steenbeck. That was a shock to me at first. But I'm a big fan of Iwata for a lot of years. Like when Iwata bought Olympos. So I was happy to see Iwata owns them.

Great video! I got the black Squidmar one; I was amazed with how quiet it is. I started just running water through it and I thought I might have a jam or something, it's just really really quiet. Warwick is doing a great job over there at H&S; the Evolution is so good that it makes me wonder what's left to add to the upcoming Infinity, except perhaps for spring tension control. Of course every time I think I've bought my last airbrush they come up with something new & amazing. Great assessment ; always look forward to your videos!

If it did have that Ultra 2024 feature and the dial to adjust how far back you pull, I'd consider this. Having put a .2 needle in my Ultra 2024 my fine lines almost look as good as yours and I'm a total beginner. I'm thinking of getting a second Ultra 2024 and leaving the .45 on it.

Great review I love the feel of my ex-infinity. I’m with you. I’m one of those few that also loves the shape of the trigger!. Hope the infinity does come with the trigger tension option! Even though I also like it be more more resistant as well. Some will prefer it to be softer! Thanks on another great review!!👊🏽

Thanks for your sharing, very useful. I am curious about is there any particular reason to remove the air speed section in recent reviews?

Does anyone know where you can get the new 0.28mm nozzle? I dropped mine accidentally and it got messed up. You would think replacements would be out there for purchase by now..

Hi, could i use aaa industrial thinner for cleaning this Harder and Steenbeck Airbrush.I have been using this thinner for other Airbrush cleaning

Dang it! Now I want another airbrush!!!! Great review.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago, I love it !! mine has the 0.2 and 0.4 needles. Do you know if it will take a 0.15 mm needle ( maybe with another headset?) like the infinity ? Thanks

I might be imagining thinks but I had the feeling you were having a lot of fun with this one

Great video. Been debating between this one and the ultra. I don’t want to have to upgrade after a year.

Great review! I’m a miniature painter and I want to up my game with the airbrush by moving beyond priming, basing, and zenithal highlights to also using the airbrush for small details, blending, and highlights. Do you recommend the new Evo 2024 or would, possibly, the upcoming 2024 Infinity be a better option? Thanks so much for your help and great video content!

Great review! How do you think it compares to the eclipse? Thinking of buying an everyday driver for miniature painting and I do already have a Creos 771 for detail work.

Tamiya airbrushes have had removable cups for many years. I own several and they are worth a look.

I really like your videos. I think you might like the Iwata Revolution HP-BR, with its small cup, 0.3 nozzle, and low air speed.

Great review. I am considering of bying this airbrush. Is it possible to use these needles also for the infinity CR Plus?

I recently purchased the 2024 evolution CR plus 2 in 1. Is the crown cap not removeable? it spins but I cannot remove it. Dont want to damage it. Any suggestions?

hi love your videos and great information I wanted to know if it was normal I purchased the ultra 2024 and I was trying it out and it blosck on me and I ended up with paint in the trigger is that normal ?

My old ultra 0.4 took 2k primer, clear coat, base, leafing size like a champ. I didn't even took it apart for cleaning afterwards and still works like It was new... doesn't look like that though 😜

I remember you recently did a tier list of your favorite airbrush , where would you put this one on it?

Hey friend, do you think an upgrade to the Infinity is coming soon? I’m debating getting this Evolution or just holding out for an upgraded Infinity (this is for mini painting, upgrading from a 0.2 Tamiya).

Hi @theartworkshop ! Can you do a review of the Mistair SL1000 airbrush? It sure looks exactly like a H&S Evolution, down to the box, needle etc. I wonder if it is produced by H&S or just a copy.

@theartworkshop as a beginner, would you recommand this one or the HP-CS?

The trigger on previous evolution didn't work fine, the exact point of launching paint was random with Createx Illustration Colors. Does it work fine in this model? Noozle and needle seem to be the same By the way, the removable cups can be used too on Iwata Custom Micron Takumi.

Excellent test. after watching the wideo, I decided to buy this airbrush. Thx

I wonder if the cap for the 0.28 is the same as the old 0.2 and how to know if the nozzle is the old 0.2 or the new 0.28. Same goes for 0.4 and 0.45. I assume the needles havent changed at all.

yeah ❤❤❤❤

"I'm not quite sure what that means but I'm all for it "

Hi from France dude ! Thx for yout awesome works ! Im looking for a New airbrush ! I do my class on the HS ultra but im feel limited. I hésitate between the évolution and the Iwata high performance HP bp. Thats for miniature painting. I wanna make some précision stuff. Whats your choice ?

Do you order your airbrush from Amazon or from the actual manufacturer? Because I’ve been searching Amazon for this same product Ultra CR plus 2024, however doesn’t give enough information if it’s an actual 2024 model or an older model they’re selling. I appreciate your input. Thank you.

You sound like Christian Bale doing an Amerircan accent. Fantastic review.. I want one of these, seems like a solid all-rounder airbrush for a beginner.

Can I buy it in Amazon? Seems like the version of this brush sell in the US is different: It doesnt have the handle cut, neither the trigger back regulator. I want the one you show in this video :(

What’s with the support strap Mark?

Thanks for one more great airbrush review! I have just ordered a 2in1. It looks like it's trigger response problem is finally solved. Now with the new nozzle sizes what has actually changed? I am a bit confused if it is only the nozzle, the nozzle and the aircap or if that includes the needle too. In any case I wonder how am I going to discern the changed parts from the older versions...

what do you prefere , EVOLUTION CR PLUS 2024 or INFINITY CR PLUS ? thank

sorry i am new to airbrushes i ve seen the ultra 2024 and i was wondering what does this one have and ultra doesn't that makes it double the price because from this review i can only see what this one is missing compared to ultra. i only see that u can fit 2ml and 5ml cup on this one and i dont know if u can fit 2ml on ultra i think not and this one has that knob at the back to control the travel and paint quantity which ultra made it easier with the 5 steps knob at the middle of the airbrush. apart from these i cant see any differences and i wonder why would pay double for this one. i am not ironic i am just trying to understand what this one has on top of ultra that makes it double the price

I had a crappy master airbrush, upgraded to an evolution in 2021, but it’s been a nightmare compared to the master. It clogs and spits constantly since day 1, paint seems to get caught in the bottom of the paint cup no matter what I do or how much I thin paints. I’m going to try an iwata and see if it was just manufacturing defects or something, but not super impressed with my H&S experience.

I am new to airbrush, and I paint miniatures. Personally, I am having trouble deciding what airbrush to go with. Any suggestions? For a budget that is no issue I just want an airbrush that will work well and I can grow my skills with, and will last.

of course it's nicely made...it's from Germany 🇩🇪. I got a cheap airbrush from Amazon but i want to replace it with the this one. thank you !!! :)

I'm waiting for infinity 2024

I airbrush really small warhammer miniatures, I got recommended a Iwata Hi-Line BH (HP-BH). But I wounder if the H&S could be as good for 2/4 of the price of the Iwata.

if you update your 10 best airbrushes, Where is Evolution 2024???

Just to clarify...the .28 head uses a .20 needle , the same goes for the .45 head which uses a .40 needle.

If it's anything like the ultra I wouldn't bother 😔 I thought they were crap and very overpriced and rated my iwata is a lot better

Two complete airbrushes with the different nozzle sizes would be ten times as convenient. Don't ever pay more than $25 for an airbrush.

Was looking for another airbrush after using my Badger 105, this airbrush look magnificent and easy too clean ( not like the badger...) great review
