I use this airbrush for painting miniatures (Warmachine, Warhammer, etc) and larger scale model kits. I'd never used an airbrush before, so I did a lot of research before buying anything. This model has the three things that were most important to me -dual action, internal mix, gravity feed. I also like that it comes with three needles and tips. When painting minis, I use the smallest needle. When applying gloss varnish or basecoating larger models, the next size up works great. I haven't tried the biggest needle yet, though it would probably be good for painting terrain/dioramas.

The airbrush is very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. This was a big plus for me, as I was very intimidated at the prospect of having to take this thing apart and put it back together again. The instruction manual doesn't help much, but there are some good tutorials for this airbrush on YouTube. Just be careful with the needle! It is incredibly delicate.

The only issue I've had is that the trigger sometimes sticks a bit when you press it down. I read of this problem in other reviews, and some even suggest how to file down a couple pieces to fix the problem. I haven't attempted this yet, but I might. However, the sticking trigger isn't really a big deal at all. Hasn't affected my painting, as far as I can tell.

One thing to note -the hose that comes with this airbrush didn't fit with the regulator on my air compressor (and the hose that came with the air compressor didn't fit with the airbrush). I just brought the hose and regulator to a hardware store and they found the right adapter. I guess whether you have this problem will depend on what compressor you get, but in the end it was only a $2 problem.

In the end, this is a great airbrush. It feels very durable and it will be a LONG time before my skills exceed the capabilities of the airbrush. If you're looking for a quality airbrush that will work the way you want and last a long time, but don't want to pay the high prices for an Iwata, this is the way to go!

This is the first Paasche airbrush that I ever owned. The options in this set coupled with the low price was very attractive.

For the most part this airbrush is good but there are a few problems worth mentioning; also seeing that a reviewer had the same problems I had experienced also. Fist thing I noticed that the very thin .25 mm. needle was bent slightly at the tip (which is easy to do because it is so thin). I did not want to run bent it through the fluid nozzle and damage it also so I called Paasche and they immediately sent me a needle with no questions asked.

The second thing was that the .66 mm. fluid nozzle leaks fluid and bubbles back into the cup. To fix this problem you have to tighten it REALLY tight, but you can fix it by putting wax around the threading of the nozzle (I used some surfboard wax that I had). Also the fan air cap that goes with the .66 nozzle shoots a 2" fan instead of an advertised 3" fan.

For the low price and the options this set is totally worth it, being way better than the faulty Chinese knock-offs (with names like Master airbrush) that are flooding the market currently, and also being priced the same as them.

Being an American brand Paasche should pay more attention to details and manufacturing processes, but for the most part everything is alright and their customer support is very helpful.

This airbrush gets highest marks from me. Excellent quality and very reliable. I own a cake shop, and regularly use it to decorate cakes. I've had this air brush for several months now, and still have not had any problems with it clogging, which is amazing to me, since my previous airbrushes seemed to clogged on a daily basis. Great product that I definitely recommend.

I received my Paasche Talon TG-3F promptly and started using it immediately for painting scale models that I like to build. The double-action is very useful in getting the effects that I want. The airbrush is easy to use and to clean. It comes with 3 sizes of needles and tips, allowing spray painting to fine detail. I'm glad I got this airbrush.
