cjcresent, <br /> <br />I agree 100 percent that one should check out the manufacturers' web sites. Would also be great if stokerk has friends that own different brushes that he can check out to see what fits right, feels right etc. There are also several threads both here and in the finescale modeling forum discussing airbrushes (I think FSM did an airbrush review not that long ago). Yup, we got Michaels out here and they do carry Pasche parts and the Hobby Lobby across the street has some badger stuff. The LHS carries some of both. I'm just trying to avoid the situation where someone buys the bru***hat is perfect for him/her and then having to mail order for parts/accessories where if he/she bought the second place finisher (hopefully it was a neck and neck race) he/she could have purchased parts and accessories right down the street. <br /> <br />ndbprr: While there is truth to the statement "brand doesn't matter" the best brush in the world won't be worth much if you can't use it because you can't get a 50 cent replacement part. I agree that dual action is the top of the line, but I've never been able to get the hang of it, so I've stuck by my single action brush. (I know - if I'd just practice a bit I'd get it, but I'm pretty happy with my S.A.). Excellent point about ease of cleaning/disassembly! I've not seen any mention of this important thing to evaluate in the threads I have read. If it's a pain to clean, I (I"m sure I'm not the only one!) have been known to blow it off. Result? Clogged gun and more time spent getting it back on line than if I had just cleaned it the first time!! (Never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it again!!). <br /> <br />Dave
