Badger Air-Brush Co 155 Anthem Airbrush

Product Information

The Anthem is a comfortable, reliable, proficient, cost effective, user friendly airbrush. The two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Anthem's cone shaped nozzle enabling a single needle/nozzle configuration to spray virtually any desired material, thus eliminating the need for fine, medium, or large needle/nozzle variations. The Anthem's body design provides exacting balance and long term user comfort. The Anthem also provides flawless performance in the most rigorous of production airbrushing environments. The revolution was a good introduction to modelling, but isn't flexible enough. As noted, the .35mm set up wasn't working for larger areas, but it will be the weekend before I can play with the various nozzles and some water or food colouring to see what coverage I can get with the standard 0.3 set up. Developed to deliver precise performance and fine line detail, the Patriot is an ideal airbrush for custom art, graphic arts and illustrative work. The Patriot airbrush will operate at 30 PSI, as well as lower pressure settings (10-15 PSI) and is ergonomically balanced for hours of comfortable airbrushing. The Anthem®, Model 155, is the most comfortable, reliable, proficient, cost effective, user friendly airbrush ever. The two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Anthem's cone shaped nozzle enabling a single needle/nozzle configuration to spray virtually any desired material, thus eliminating the need for fine, medium, or large needle/nozzle variations. The Anthem's body design provides exacting balance and long term user comfort. The Anthem® also provides flawless performance in the most rigorous of production airbrushing environments. The needle bearing is Teflon, and Badger will replace it free if it ever wears out or gets damaged.

I'm thinking about upgrading from my Iwata Revolution BCR. I upgraded the airbrush with a 0.3 mm nozzle and 0.35 mm needle (the 0.3 won't fit the triple action handle). The 0.35 mm is great for detailed work, but it doesn't give great coverage for base coats (see the patchy job below). Unfortunately it's a pain to swap out needles, nozzles, and the action on the handle when I want to paint a larger area.We have a number of customers in your part of the words, so you may know someone that has one you can have a go with. Single needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums such as inks, dyes, watercolors, acrylics, enamels, lacquers, glazes and latex. Don't spray too far away from the model either as your likely to get a rough finish where the paint is drying before it hits the model. Mine has a rubber pad on the trigger, which I really like. But, Badger has discontinued this feature. On flexibility for the future, you can add a 0.15mm nozzle set for ultrafine work and a 0.6mm nozzle set for very large area work. There is also a micro paint cup that covers the cup thread if you are doing a lot of detail work as well as 15ml, 50ml and side feed 15ml bottle options available.

Badger 155 Anthem Airbrush Features: Swapping from one nozzle set to another takes about 20 seconds and you don't need any tools for this or to strip the brush down to it's component parts.Maybe I should change the focus of this thread. What would you recommend for broad applications if I could only afford a single brush? Eg something like the H&S brush with easily interchangeable needles and nozzles for both fine work and base coats.

If you get dry paint building up on the air cap, this will allow you to just pinch clean the tip and for fine detailing gives you a great view of the needle tip. Single needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums, inks, dyes, watercolours, acrylics, enamels, lacquers, glazes, latex, Air-Opaqueª, Air-Tex®, MODELflex® Totally Tattoo® and Totally Tanª coloursSingle needle/nozzle for spraying all mediums including inks, dyes, watercolors, properly reduced acrylics, enamels, lacquers, and airbrush-ready colors including Spectra Tex, Air-Opaque, Air-Tex, Model flex, and Totally Tattoo. Not sure which other parts were also changed, normal route would be; 0.3mm needle, nozzle, nozzle cap and needle cap. Fine nozzle set for details down to 1mm, high flow larger nozzle set and larger cup for area work..
