Description

Badger’s New Patriot Airbrush, Model 105-1, is a dual action, internal mix, gravity feed airbrush with a permanently mounted 1/3 ounce color cup . Designed as the gravity feed version of Badger’s popular siphon feed “Anthem” airbrush, the Patriot delivers superior performance with its innovative precision design. The Patriot’s two angle needle tip precisely mates with the Patriot’s cone shaped nozzle enabling a single needle/nozzle (.50 millimeter) configuration to spray virtually any desired material, eliminating the need for various needle/nozzle sizes. The Patriot’s body design provides exacting balance and long term user comfort; an excellent choice for detail applications, or when only a small amount of color is required. Proudly made in the USA.

  • Amazing airbrush
Size: fine Style: Patriot
This airbrush is absolutely amazing. A lot of people will say that this is just a beginners airbrush and while, yes, it is perfect for a beginner it can and will take you so much farther too. Highlights: Dirt cheap, really. You can get this airbrush for $20-30 more then these cheap knock off airbrushes; and it is still 1/2 to 1/10th the price of the high end airbrushes. Easy of cleaning and maintenance. Compared to other airbrushes a golden highlight is the size and fitting of the tip. Without exaggerated it is 3 times or more bigger then other airbrush tips. This means when (not if) you accidently drop it during cleaning it does not disappear into the carpet or bounce off in a random direction to never be seen again. In addition, it sits on the body of the airbrush. No special tool(s) needed for assembly or disassembly. No rubber o-rings. When you need to clean your airbrush you can use alcohol (ISP) and it will not deteriorate any delicate parts. Different tip & needle sizes. This airbrush comes with a 0.5 mm tip and needle. For around $10 you can buy a 0.3 mm and or 0.7 mm tip and needle set. This alone will give you a super wide range of applications you can use this airbrush for. Oh and the needles have different colored handles so you can easily tell which size you have installed and which size those that are laying around are. Trigger and Finger Rest. Badger makes a bigger trigger called the High Hat Trigger which will fit on this airbrush. Only difference is a longer shaft so you have a far greater deal of control over how far back you pull your trigger and thereby how much paint you spray out. Badger also makes a plastic Finger Rest that you can fit on here. It is just a few dollars and it just makes the feel of the airbrush in your hand so much nicer. If you aren't going to airbrush for very long it isn't needed, the airbrush standard feel good in your hand. But for extended use it's like adding a pillow to your seat. Not needed but it feels nice. Customer service. Badger has hands down, no joke the absolute best customer service I have seen anywhere. Before I even bought an airbrush I emailed Badger with a question and the CEO called me to give me an answer. Then he said he would be happy to answer any other questions might have and would help be figure out the best airbrush for my needs. Again this is the CEO not some minimum wage off shore customer service representative. Warranty. Badger offers a 100% warranty on their products for life. Yes, at any time you have an issue with your airbrush you send it back to them and they will fix it. American made. To some this matters and to others it doesn't, both camps are ok. Badger is 100% made in America, they source their parts and assemble in the heart of America. Drawbacks: There are only 2 possible drawbacks I can share with this airbrush and even then they are super minor if that. The smallest Tip and Needle available for this airbrush is 0.3 mm. Now before you become concerned with this I will share that I was able to spray a 0.018" thick line easily with this setup so 99% of what you are going to spray this airbrush can do. Oh and when I did spray this I wasn't getting bogged down with "dry tip" or clogs. Badger uses a priority thread for their air hose attachment. That just means you need to buy their quick disconnect instead of a generic. It isn't even expensive and you are going to be getting one for your setup anyway so again, it is only a minor if anything of a drawback. ... show more

  • Love It!
Size: fine Style: Patriot
This was my first airbrush which I bought for scale modeling and model railroading. I chose this brush over the Badger's newer offering, the Renegade Velocity because it was $40 cheaper and had a slightly larger tip making it more of an all around brush. The first thing I noticed when opening the case -- which it comes with a nice padded case that snaps shut -- is that the build quality is very well done. The brush feels solid and sturdy in your hand. The back half of the handle area screws off and on with ease. The trigger pulls back smooth. One interesting feature of this brush is that it has a cut away on the back half that lets you remove the needle without taking the handle off. This works but I've found it's easier to put the needle back into the brush without the handle on, so most of the time I just take it off anyways. Another feature of this brush is that it has a trigger tension adjustment. It comes from the factory set to max (which the instructions point out should be fine for most people) but there is also a small tensioning nut that lets you loosen it up a bit. From reading the manual that it came with it seems to include a lifetime warranty. For the first year Badger will replace/repair anything for you at their cost and after the first year they will replace/repair manufacturer defects provided that you pay for shipping. Overall I've been very happy with this brush choice. I should point out though that compared to the Renegade Velocity the one thing this brush does not have is a trigger stop which lets you limit how far back the trigger can be pulled. While that is a nice-to-have I haven't yet come upon a situation where that was really necessary (then again maybe I haven't used it enough to hit that situation). ------------------------- Update October 2012 A year and a half later and this air brush is still going great. Aside from looking into the cup or into the nozzle, it almost looks new. This is likely due to the polished finish which makes it easier to clean. I'm still on the original needle and nozzle. After every painting session, I thoroughly clean the color cup, then remove the needle and clean that separately. This only takes a few minutes but I suspect it has gone a long way towards keeping the brush in tip-top shape. I've found the key to perfect operation is good choice of paints. I've shot both cheapo craft paint through this and paint which had been in the sun and was a bit too clumpy. Both did horrible and clogged the brush, resulting in me having to spend 15 minutes cleaning it out. On the flip side, good paint, properly thinned, goes on perfect, every single time. I've learned my lesson. Good pain just makes using the brush so much nicer of an experience. ... show more

  • The Best Airbrush in This Price-Range!
Size: fine Style: Patriot
First off, to rebut the reviewers who claimed to receive a used brush at a discount price and were unhappy - I purchased a brush here at Amazon for $56 Prime, and although it arrived unwrapped in an open case, it was in what I deem to be "new" condition. The entire brush was clean and unused and after a full inspection of all parts I can easily say that this may possibly be the BEST value for the money when it comes to dual-action airbrushes. If it were a used brush, I can't tell, and getting a quality piece of equipment at this price is more important to me than having to make sure the item was unused previously. Now the brush - I haven't used the one I ordered specifically, but I've used a borrowed Badger Patriot 105 several times previously and let me say that there is not a finer piece of equipment on the market for under $200-$250. It is the easiest to clean and is extremely versatile. It gives you the freedom to work on just about any project that would require an airbrush. I don't believe I've ever dealt with a brush that is just as adept at commercial art/artist use as it is for use with cake decorating, model painting, minatures, t-shirts, etc., etc. This is definitely a do-it-all brush and at under $60, there isn't a better value to be had anywhere. It has sturdy, made in the USA construction and can be completely unassembled in less than a minute. It's gravity fed of course and comes with a very generous cup and the needle removal is a cinch. The only negatives I may say are that the brush struggles with extremely fine detail. This is not really a problem however unless you're into airbrushing with a magnifying glass, lol. The major flaw in the design, however, is that the needle protrudes from the nozzle slightly, leaving the needle exposed and making it susceptible to damage. Not much to complain about, but it is a reasonable complaint. All in all, this is a grade A brush and whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, there isn't a better value or a better brush anywhere in this price range. ... show more

  • Phenomenal Starter Brush and Great Value for Money. Also, Get the Detail Deedle Kit.
Size: fine Style: Patriot
When you're hobbying on a budget and want a reliable workhorse, this is your brush. While the Iwata Neo is a good starter brush, I find this one to be more forgiving, modular, easier to clean, and well worth the $20 price bump. Quite possibly, the best feature is the threadless nozzle. It makes disassembly and cleaning a breeze and you never have to worry about stripping the part. Speaking of parts, they're cheap and readily available. The stock needle assembly is 0.5mm and can handle Vallejo primer undiluted and base coat very quickly. Just keep an eye on the tip. With the optional $12 upgrade, which I whole heartedly recommend, you can convert to a detail brush in under two minutes. great for highlighting and mid toning miniatures. Oh and the needle ends are even color coded to indicate which is which (blue = fine 0.50mm, black = detail 0.35mm). My biggest gripe and reason for four stars is that the trigger is a little finnicky. Sometimes you get silky blends, sometimes you get no paint and then ALL the paint at once. Definitely have to mind your consistency and PSI for this one. I speculate it has something to do with the trigger design. Personally I prefer Iwata's ball trigger, but I just didn't have the money for an Eclipse atm. Second, minor gripe, the needle tip is exposed. Not a big deal personally as I'm careful, but you could risk bending the needle or stabbing yourself. Long review short: buy this brush and the upgrade. ... show more

  • Awesome starter airbrush
Size: fine Style: Patriot
This is probably the best airbrush you can get at this price point. If you're looking to get started with airbrushing, do yourself a favor and start with this one. There are less expensive airbrushes, but they are highly inferior. There are obviously better airbrushes out there, but none that come close to this one in the price range. ... show more

  • A Great First Airbrush, Excellent for Mini Priming
Size: fine Style: Patriot
I bought this Badger Patriot because I wanted to get into using an airbrush to supplement my miniature painting for BattleTech, 40k, D&D, etc. Despite a smattering of quality control issues I read about, my model hasn’t had any issues. It has a 0.5mm needle which helps prevent clogs and allows a wider spray of paint. This is helpful when priming (which is often chalkier than paint), laying down base coats, and painting terrain. You can also buy a 0.3 mm needle which helps with more detailed work. The needle chuck is exposed and it makes it easy to clear clogs on the fly. Two things to be aware of: First, the needle tip is exposed. This makes it easy to clean off when paint dries on it (it will happen often). But it also makes it easy to damage. New users should be aware of this. Use an old brush or a moist sponge to clear dry tips easily. Second, for some bizarre reason, Badger needs a proprietary adapter to attach to common sized airbrush hoses. Of course, it’s sold separately. It’s frankly kind of dumb since every other airbrush uses the standard hose connector size (I think it’s 1/4”). But overall, it will serve you well. ... show more

  • Excellent brush, Excellent customer support
Size: fine Style: Patriot
I was missing a part that I didn't realize I needed. I emailed customer support any they actually called me instead of email. The issue got resolved in minutes, and I had an excellent, friendly, and fun conversation with ken. They got the part in the mail that day and I got it within a couple days. It was a cheap part I was missing, and probably only cost a dollar or two, but their communication and responsiveness, and understanding made this the best customer experience I've ever had anywhere. This was my first experience with badger and this couple dollar part earned my future business with them. Now that I have the part I need I've jumped right into using this brush. I've used a lot of different brands and they all have their own thing to offer. This brush is a solid all around brush that's easy to use and offers excellent flow control. This brush fits comfortably in my hand making marathon painting a breeze. Since this is a new brush to me I can't speak to the durability, but if it's feel is any indication of its durability I can safely say it will last awhile. ... show more

  • Great airbush for the price
Size: fine Style: Patriot
Did a lot of research before buying this airbrush. After a self-inflicted hiccup (did not know to engage needle that was recessed for shipping) this thing worked like a charm. Air brushing small scale models and it did a great job. Was not ready for the pricey airbrush just yet so went for this price range. Glad I bought this. ... show more
