Hi guys I decided to post this question here as it is the only place where I could find good info about the PS-270.
A don't have or even handled an aribrush in my life ever but I decided to buy one because it might speed up my painting process. I usually paint Warhammer models, 28mm heroic scale but I have 72mm and 210mm figure and Gundams.
Looking many videos I think the following models are what might suit me:
1-Iwata hp-bh
PRO:
Light;
Iwata quality;
Precise;
additional paint quantity valve control;
CONS:
damns expensive;
only 0.2mm,;
cleaning is a bit of a chore;
can't change the cup on top;
QUESTION:
I found on ebay a japanese store selling it new for $119, how do I know if it's legit? The store has 100% positive close to 1000 feedbacks, but the pictures are very generic, potentially ripped off from some other website.
If i need to paint bigger models is the 2ml cup going to be too small?
Can I fit a 0.4mm on the same body?
2-H&S Evo Silverline 2 in 1 (or just SOLO)
PRO:
easy to clean;
precise enough;
intercheangeable cups;
intercheangeable needles;
good price;
can buy the additional paint flow valve control later on;
CONS:
finesse and flow wise sounds a bit average;
nickel coating is reported to suffer from discoloration after a while;
need to buy the bigger cup if I go for the SOLO;
no lid on either 2 in 1 or SOLO box;
QUESTIONS:
Do I really need to get the 0.4 to paint Gundams? I guess so, they are quite big compared to the 28mm.
3-Pretty boy platinum PS-270:
PRO:
cheap;
precise enough;
precision and flow almost as good as Iwata;
big cup for bigger models;
additional paint flow control;
CONS:
a bit heavy;
very very big cup;
very long;
can't change the cup;
cleaning is a bit of a chore;
expensive parts and a bit hard to find in my area (UK and Italy);
QUESTION:
Do you feel that the big cup is a problem while doing very fine work?
Do you feel that the lenght is putting too much distance between your eye and the "canvas" while doing very fine work?
Any contribution from someone using a H&S silverline and a PS-270?
Is the ps-270 more precise than the silverline at 0.2mm?
All in all I think my go to choice should be the H&S silverline because it's very flexible and easy to clean but I'm afraid that I will regret not choosing something more precise.
Sorry for the wall of text, many thanks
