Paasche TG-3F Proffesonal Double Action Gravity Feed Airbrush Kit

I use this airbrush for painting miniatures (Warmachine, Warhammer, etc) and larger scale model kits. I'd never used an airbrush before, so I did a lot of research before buying anything. This model has the three things that were most important to me -- dual action, internal mix, gravity feed. I also like that it comes with three needles and tips. When painting minis, I use the smallest needle. When applying gloss varnish or basecoating larger models, the next size up works great. I haven't tried the biggest needle yet, though it would probably be good for painting terrain/dioramas. The airbrush is very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. This was a big plus for me, as I was very intimidated at the prospect of having to take this thing apart and put it back together again. The instruction manual doesn't help much, but there are some good tutorials for this airbrush on YouTube. Just be careful with the needle! It is incredibly delicate. The only issue I've had is that the trigger sometimes sticks a bit when you press it down. I read of this problem in other reviews, and some even suggest how to file down a couple pieces to fix the problem. I haven't attempted this yet, but I might. However, the sticking trigger isn't really a big deal at all. Hasn't affected my painting, as far as I can tell. One thing to note -- the hose that comes with this airbrush didn't fit with the regulator on my air compressor (and the hose that came with the air compressor didn't fit with the airbrush). I just brought the hose and regulator to a hardware store and they found the right adapter. I guess whether you have this problem will depend on what compressor you get, but in the end it was only a $2 problem. In the end, this is a great airbrush. It feels very durable and it will be a LONG time before my skills exceed the capabilities of the airbrush. If you're looking for a quality airbrush that will work the way you want and last a long time, but don't want to pay the high prices for an Iwata, this is the way to go!

Pros: - Good quality - Durable - Versatile - fine detail to wide strokes - Easy to clean - Can last several years without any issues or maintenance other than cleaning - Made in the USA Cons: - An airbrush consists of delicate, precision parts. So when you need to let's say replace a needle you have to keep in mind that you cannot just replace it. You have to make sure the needle you are replacing is the right size for the tip and airhead you are using. Keep that in mind before replacing anything. The parts are not marked, so the only way to tell from one another is the size, and the size difference for the needles and air holes for each tip are minuscule. I recommend keeping each part labeled properly. I have ruined airbrushes by mixing parts. Additional comments: I have read other posts of people having issues and called Paasche's customer support with a very positive outcome. The majority I've heard they got a new replacement. In my case, I don't run into any issues for several years before I have to replace the airheads, tip and needle. In reality I am my wife's repair guy my wife uses airbrushes on a daily basis for decorating cakes. So believe me, I forget how all those tiny parts go together after a couple of years of not touching an airbrush, so I make sure I label everything. Tips: - Buy a cleaning kit and cleaning liquid at a reputable airbrush dealer. It's essential to preserve your airbrush in top shape. Clean your airbrush after each use with the cleaning liquid. Cleaning tools such as brushes and pokers can be used for tough spots to clean or clogged orifices. - I repeat, label your spare parts. - Use of a dedicated airbrush brush for a specific setting is a time saver, that way you don't have to switch parts when you need to switch from wide stroke to detail; all you need is switch airbrushes. - Get quick release valve connectors to quickly switch the air hose to other airbrushes.

I bought a Paasche since I remember the one I had when I was a youth and used to build models. And then I started reading the reviews. Poor build quality, cruddy action (I usually go for the bad reviews first on Amazon), and I started to get worried. Shouldn't have. As can been seen from the pic, I got mine, with all parts, no build issues, no quality issues. Nice heft, good weight, and if the 'Paasche TALON' logotype etched into the side is a little 1950's Mike Brady-looking, we'll just forgive that. When I pulled it out of the box, the action *did* feel a little ratched, even compared it to the chinesium one that came with the tankless battery compressor from spraygunner that I got for touch-up work. Ugh. Now I'm afraid I wasted my money. I shouldn't have been. Once this thing was attached (and here we have my ONLY complain with this device, why does Paasche have to have a different word for EVERYTHING?! *huff* At least they sell a bevy of 1/8th adapters directly, and I was prepared) and pressurized, the action was smooth and subtle. I've shot everything from ink to acrylics to primer to metallics through this and it's gorgeous. Fit and finish is awesome, and if I had to come up with a complaint, whatever this orange durakote that they put on the cup cap and tail-end is, it can make the cap hard to get out sometimes. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful machine, and I'd post a video if I hadn't put ink in it with the PSI on my compressor still set to 'acrylic primer' and made a mess. Seriously, this was WELL worth the money. Easily the equal of a brush twice its price. Taking off a star because Paasche fittings are all unique and that's kind of a pain in the arse.

Lo compre para reponer un aerógrafo sencillo, lo que más ayuda es el echo de regular la salida de pintura para que cada uso sea uniforme.

Niveau qualité l'aerographe en lui même est top, mais ça on s'en doutait. Il est très confortable même pour les petites mains, les matériaux respirent la qualité, etc. En revanche, souci concernant celui que j'ai reçu. J'ai fais un premier essai directement après ouverture sans réussir à projeter de la peinture. Après démontage et vérification, en fait la buse installée par défaut etait "fendillée" (voit photo) et l'aiguille était tordue sur sa pointe. Heureusement que tout est remplaçable avec cette marque (donc pas besoin de faire un renvoi complet), mais je vais quand même faire une réclamation.

I have a Paasche H airbrush that is 40+ years old and still going strong. The Paasche Tallon quality seems cheap in comparison. It is almost impossible to get a small amount of air from the trigger. It's all or nothing. The trigger also keeps jumping up out of it's proper location and gets stuck. The trigger is to close to the colour cup and it's difficult to get a finger on the trigger without hitting the cup. The build quality of the whole airbrush feels cheap and the trigger is loose and feels like it binds when pulled back. I also can't believe that Paasche have packaged the spare nozzles and tips in the same bags which could lead to damage of these delicate parts to say nothing of the needles one of which had lost the "protective" piece of sponge material in transit. Not what I expect from this company.
