My old Gabbert airbrush had begun to show declining performance the last few times I used it. No fault of the airbrush itself, but probably the somewhat negligent cleaning and handling on my side. Having served me well for over 25 years I guess it's time for a new airbrush to take over the thankless task serving me.
The new tool in my workshop is a Harder & Steenbeck Ultra 2024 airbrush. A good quality airbrush without it going over the top with features I'm not going to use often.
I didn't buy a load of accessories for the air brush. I only added a cleaning station and new 3 m hose as well as better cleaning tools to the order.
I actually managed to get the Gabbert airbrush working again and now I'm in a situation where I even have a spare airbrush to help me over periods of troubles with the new one. You can't be too well prepared these days.
With the large scale skips almost finished I'm now ready for painting the 1/19 Fowler. If it wasn't for a terminal breakdown of my Italian air compressor! New one ordered and expected to arrive this week. No end to the obstacles served me on my way to finishing my second 1/19 scale locomotive model!
