Aztek 470 or Harder & Steenbeck Airbrush??

Hi All,

I looking for a good entry level airbrush, I'm new to airbrushing but have been building scale model aircraft for years. I have narrowed my choices to the Aztek 470 or Harder & Steenbeck Evolution (availiablity/spares/upgrades, costs taken into account)

The thing is the aztek is an all in one package, Airbrush cleaner, hose etc. but the Harder & Steenbeck you have to buy each component seperately and I really don't want to get sold extra's and add-ons that are not required or I find I need to purchase far more add-ons to get the desired effect.

On the other hand I don't want to folk out a wack of cash for the aztek and find that in 6 or 12 months time that it's not giving me the detail I wish/results and therefore have to upgrade the entire airbrush (Folk out another wack). Hence the reason for looking at the Harder & Steenbeck, I'll be able to buy upgrades as my skills progress(hence the name evolution.)

Any thoughts or recommendations would help alot.

Cheers

I have the Badger 150. If I was buying one now, I'd get the Evolution.
Look at: Promodellers.com - Promodeller Home
The guy is a pro and uses the Evolution airbrush which he highly recommends.
