I was a bit skeptical at first about this airbrush because I've never really been impressed with anything I've tried from Badger. However, after reading a lot of rave reviews and videos about the Krome, I thought it might be worth a try. Well I must say the Krome is awesome!!! I own a few Iwatas and for less money this brush easily out performs my Iwata HP-CS for detail and atomization. In my opinion, it performs similar to my HP-C+ or my HP-BH Hi-Line. It has a nice soild feel to it, the trigger action is very smooth and light (you can adjust the tension to your liking), it's comfortable to hold and well balanced, the spray pattern is very fine not grainy and it works very well at low pressures (10-12 psi). It doesn't come with any lube unfortunately so I would recommend you get some Super Lube or Regdab needle juice. Get one! You won't be dissappointed!

I don't have a super amount of knowledge with airbrushes. I've owned 3, 2 Testors Azteks and the Badger Krome. The Azteks are great brushes, double action. My first was the clear blue model, the plastic is brittle and doesn't take well to big hands fiddling with removing the side cups. It lasted about 5 model kits. Next I bought the grey resin Aztek, after a few model kits it stopped shooting just air when you push the trigger down, went straight to paint. I had seen a number of reviews on the Krome and it looked great; .2 and .3 somethings nozzles and a needle stop function. So I decided to go for it. I did not go wrong. The trigger is soooo much smoother than the Aztek, the 'just air' ability rocks. Cleaning is a bit more than the Aztek. With several removable color cups, I could switch out colors in half the time than the Krome. And the rear mounted air hose I miss from the Aztek. However, the needle stop function is awesome, no more worrying about pulling the trigger back too far (will come in handy on those mottling camo colored Luftwaffe models). The Trigger 'feels' better to my finger, the tension is there but not overpowering (I can adjust that too with the Krome). I use Lacquer thinner for cleaning the cup, nozzle, and needle, and it comes out beautiful. The .2 nozzle will clog if you don't thin right using acrylics Use the .3, I guess that's what other suggest. I started use lacquer thinner for my acrylics and it works so much better (smelly yes, but BETTER). The .3 nozzle I haven't used yet. The hard case is ok, I use it for holding my extra parts. It's a nice case though.

So for about $120 US, I feel you can't go wrong. I would suggest it to anyone looking for an airbrush. Now I just wish I had a better compressor.

Cheers!

I've used other badger airbrushes in the past and was unimpressed Badger airbrush build quality did not compare to Iwata. I always gravitated to my Iwata airbrushes (I have hp-c, hp-c plus, hp-sb, eclipse hp-bcs) However I started to hear good things about Badger's Krome so I decided to give it a try and boy the things I heard were right. This airbrush is pretty good. If Badger continues to make airbrushes like this then I will be purchasing more from badger. Buy this airbrush and you wont be disappointed. amazon has an awesome price on these

Very nice brush. I am an amature using this brush for taxidermy work. The abilty to transition from broad top coat to very fine detail without making major time consuming changes to the tool is awsome.

I bought this a few months ago. After using it for quite some times, I am very satisfied with it. It's very good at fine-details, and the trigger is perfect. It's really easy to clean as well, compared to my previous airbrush. For the price, you can't really get anything better than this.
