Up until now, the weakest link in my airbrush setup has been the airbrush itself. I have two airbrushes, but they're Chinese, and anything but smooth and consistent in operation.
So...... having upgraded my compressor a couple of years ago, it made sense to get an airbrush made by a firm with a decent reputation. Thus, the one I opted for is an entry-level (but hardly cheap) model from Harder and Steenbeck: the H & S Ultra. The big selling point for me, though, is that the kit comes with two nozzles: 0.2mm and 0.44mm. This means it can go from fine detail, to a broad sweep, with a quick change of nozzle. Up until now, I've often used Tamiya rattle coats for priming and undercoating whole tanks. Hopefully, the .4mm jet will give the overall coverage I need, without recourse to rattle cans.


Anyone who has some experience of using the H & S Ultra, is welcome to add their hints and tips here. Woes too, but I'm hoping that isn't the case.
