Purchased this brush 2 months ago, and although I own 2 H&S brushes, the Infinity and an Evolution, and I can honestly say this brush is a star performer. It is a solid workhorse and a joy to use. Being close to the H&S models (nozzle similarity) it is easy to clean during and after an airbrushing session. Will definitely purchase another one before the years out.

A terrific airbrush which I bought on recommendation from the “Nigel’s Modelling Bench” Youtube channel. This has become my default airbrush as the combination of accuracy and control delivers just what I need. Easy to clean and simple to use at a price point that suits the beginner. As with any airbrush, practice is everything but once you understand the best pressure and consistency combinations, your model painting skills will even amaze your kids.
