[WWI] Hyperscale - you need to see this....

[Andy Bannister]

I have a Badger 200 that I've now had for 28 years and it's still going
strong. Also have a Thayer & Chandler double action (T & C airbrushes are
copies of Badgers and the parts are interchangeable) that I only use for
very fine stuff. 
Cleaning is no problem at all with both airbrushes and fumes are taken care
of by opening the window and always using a respirator when I spray. Anyone
who who states mess, trouble or health hazards for not using airbrushes is
just making poor excuses in my book!
