Air Brush Set Crescendo 3 Heads

I use this airbrush mainly to paint my props, as painting them with a paintbrush was giving an unsatisfactory look.This brush is very smooth to use, and the pull feature to be able to spray and control it requires some work, but overall is a nicer way to control the spread of the paint.I have so far used enamels (Testors), Acrylics, and Oils in this airbrush and have had no problems whatsoever. Since the entire brush can be taken apart, it's quite easy to clean it out using the appropriate cleaner, which is another plus to this airbrush.The only downside I can see is that it doesn't really fit into the Badger Air-Brush Co. TC909 Aspire Elite Compressor's holder unless you put it in backwards. The fat design however is nice for someone like me with big fingers.

Everything passed regarding the product quality and transportation

I use this airbrush for teaching high school students.First I teach them to take it apart and put it back together ...over and over...until they can do it quickly.THEN...after every painting session they take it apart- rinse it off --let the parts dry -and put it back together the next day.With this teaching process, I have not had the problem of paint drying inside the gun and ruining the workings of the airbrush.High school kids are not so good at cleaning the brushes...so this has helped me keep the airguns from being destroyed.(The auto collision teacher told me he loses many brushes because his students don't clean them properly and the paint dries inside the brush...thus making it nearly impossible to repair or use,however, he uses different type paint than I do.)This airbrush works well. If an airbrush isn't kept clean, that is when problems start.I explain the "take it apart---after every session---let it dry after cleaning and rinsing--and put it back together at the beginnng of the next painting session."I have learned this clean-up technique after many years of airbrush painting and teaching airbrush.I do not think that blowing cleaner through the brush is enough. The needle can still have paint on it. I have learned all of this the hard way.Many students come to me...MANY>>> with ruined airbrushes because they allowed the paint to dry inside the brush without cleaning!They didn't realize what could happen...so I wrote this review for them.This tool is too expensive to not clean and let be destroyed by a few seconds of laziness. Follow thru- clean it and it will last for a long time.It is easy to use---it helps if you have an airbrush artist show you how to take care of the brush and how to control and utilize it.That would make your frustration level, as a new airbrush artist,so much easier to bear. As someone that has made many mistakes with airbrushes in the past, I know a little instruction goes a long long way.

This product is listed as 175-7 . If it were the -7 it would come with all 3 needles and tips which this one does not. In the q & a section the question is asked and answered that is does. If this was the -7 and came with all accessories I would have given it 5 stars. The airbrush gun itself is great just not happy with the other parts not in this kit.

Very good air brush. it will take time to learn all the options offered. Well worth the money.

I wanted to teach myself how to airbrush and wanted a brush that was high quality and solid for a new user and an experienced user. What I like best is that this brush is pretty easy to take apart, clean and put back together. I am very happy with my purchase. I've also learned that it takes a lot of practice to learn how to use the brush. But, with some practice I was able to make my daughter a t-shirt for Christmas.

Got this model 175(Crescendo) to replace my older 150(Professional), that I'd still be using had it not "disappeared". Just as versatile and easy to work with- have found that the bigger body is a better fit and I don't get the cramping I got when holding onto the smaller body of the 150 for awhile. A little heavier, but not really a noticeable issue to me. I've found through experience siphon feed works better for me than gravity feed if you tilt or move your airbrush around a little too much, and want a little ease in changing colors, plus you can see what you're doing. Just a little bigger than the 150.

This was a Christmas gift for my future daughter-in-law. I think she liked it. This was a fast delivery and hopefully, I or she, doesn't have any problems.
