Two new airbrushes coming from GSI-Creos

Most airbrushes can make very thin lines. Even with my 0.5 Eclipse I can do eye lashes on a A4 portrait. The Micron just does it so much easier.
That's been my understanding. The control is supposed to be outstanding and as you say, if it's just simply easier then why not. It's a little bit different spraying on hard plastic versus paper or another medium, but you just find the sweet spot and you're good to go.

Let me ask you Andre: I've seen a review comparing both brushes from a guy I trust implicitly spraying on plastic models and he sees no difference between the two, but if it were up to you, would you spend the extra $200 on the Micron or would you just get the Gunze?
 
I don't know if this will help, or hurt ;) Cm-C+ on top, PS770 on the bottom -

Dave - do you use the trigger tension screw on the bottom of the CM-C Plus much? In your mind is it worth the extra cash to buy the Micron?

hmmm, there is no "trigger tension screw" on the bottom of any of these brushes - if you mean the MAC valve, I have one on my hose, so I would not pay extra (necessarily) for one built into the brush. I do use the MAC valve all the time. On these brushes, they actually make for a very good hand hold for your off hand to steady the brush... The two brushes are made in the same factory, on the same machines, by the same hands. They are literally the same - with the exception of final spec on the little bits. Nozzles, nozzle caps, etc. are proprietary per brand - both function well.

On the bottom of the Micron, behind the hose attachment, there is a small screw. Is that not for trigger tension?
 
Maybe he meant the airvale screw.
There is some room to adjust the spring tension.
I turn it so that it just stays together. In cobination with a soft spring.
Maybe you can see on the pictures the difference.

Oh, no - that has nothing to do with trigger tension - it holds a ring inside the body that acts as a guide for the needle chuck, as well as protrudes upward to keep the guide from turning while being drawn back. The newer V2 Microns do not have the screw. I have no idea why they made it protrude as they did on the V1's, as virtually every other model that has one, has the screw countersunk.

I was originally commenting on the statement that says a HP can perform close to a Micron. Saying that I with an Eclipse you can also get close Micron results but it is just easier with the Micron.

If I was only doing plastic models and miniature I would stick with an Eclipse. Anything finer can be done with a paintbrush. But IF you really need a super fine gun, yeah, go for the GSI.

The Eclipse and Micron combo is the most effective two brush team you can buy, IMO.
 
Spraygunner has the English language versions of the GSI-Creos FB posts I provided earlier. They say the new airbrushes will be available late this year/early next.

My AAD is acting up. Is there a drug for this?
