Hi Everyone,

I've perused these forums for a few years; invariably when I need some airbrush advice I end up here, so I thought it was time I joined. I should have joined sooner as I'm in the market for a Custom Micron B v2 and lo and behold there was one for sale - but alas, I was too late.

I do scale models, primarily aircraft, so I'm a hobby painter and not so much an artist like many of you here.

I have an Infinity CR Plus with .15, .2, .4 and .6 needles and nozzles. I used to have two, but had heard good things about Iwata so I sold one and bought a HP-C Plus. Love it. Will be buying the HP-B Plus next (or a Micron B if one comes my way first) and maybe a few others. I started out with Badgers - and love their customer service - but wanted to upgrade to something more suited my preferences.

I have a simple oiless single piston compressor with no tank and am considering upgrading that as well, but the little guy has served me so well for years now. With a line water trap in addition to the trap on the compressor, I haven't really noticed any pulsation, so I've had no rush for a new one.

I have been using Tamiya acrylic and Mr Hobby Aqueous paints, Vallejo Metal Color acrylics and am now switching over to Mission Models paints as well. I'm trying to stay away from lacquers as I don't have room for a spray booth, only a chemical mask.

Hope I haven't been too verbose - Thanks for letting me join!

Not too verbose at all @iSteve We actually like a good intro which tells us about you and what gear you have, where your from, what paints you would like to use or are using etc etc. It gives us a good insight of the new member so that when anyone needs help we already know where we can send them for spare parts or paints or new purchases. Oh and welcome to the forum. Its about time you joined after lurking in the back ground for so long.

Lee is on the money. The more info we have, the more relevant the answers to questions.
Welcome! Glad you decided to climb out of the shadows LOL.
I ended up joining the forum in a similar way. I thought I had an issue with my new airbrush, and all Google searches brought me here, so I figured I’d sign up. Best decision I ever made, I’ve learned so much from being here and have met some incredible people too.
