  • A great modelling tool plus update
I purchased the Badger Krome after reading several reviews on youtube and other modelling sites. I primarily do 1/35th scale armor and have been using a Badger Patriot 105 for the last 2 1/2 years. I was intrigued by the Krome's two smaller needle sizes and the trigger limiting device. My Patriot is a fine airbrush, but I had difficulties with panel shading and fading with it's .5 needle size. I found the Krome to be a great solution for those issues as well as weathering. I use the .33 needle principly as the .21 can be finicky with acrylics and tip dry. I get great results and have learned a lot of the last few months to improve my skills. My trigger skills are better, but it is nice to have the rear limiter as insurance against the dreaded SPLAT. The Krome is longer and a tad heavier than my Patriot, but is well balanced and has a smooth trigger pull. I mostly use Tamiya acrylics and Model Master enamels and get excellent finishes using a 1:1 ratio of paint and thinner. Proper ratios and mixing are a little more critical with these smaller needles, but the Krome is very forgiving in this matter. Fit and finish are excellent and like my Patriot, the Krome is a breeze to clean between colors and after a session. Both needles require care when being inserted after cleaning, but not a chore. Parts are reasonably priced and readily available. The Krome is a great airbrush to upgrade to for a scale modeller looking for quality and versatility at a reasonable price. UPDATE: Having used my Krome for about a year now, it is still my go to airbrush and does excellent work. My brush requires careful cleaning of the needle and the sleeve it slides through between sessions. If not, there is sufficent friction to overcome the trigger spring causing the needle to stick in place. I wipe the needle clean with lacquer thinner and lube it prior to any painting session. This is a quirk that my Badger Sotar, Patriot, Patriot 2XR, and Anthem do not have. ... show more

  • You can't go wrong
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! ... show more

  • Not 'like new' but close enough-Update: NOPE
I bought this as 'like new' and it mostly was. There were smudges on it, and dried up paint in the bottom of the main tube, but this was easily taken care of. So for what I paid, yes, it was a great deal. All of my airbrushes are over 25 years old...so to say this was a step up isn't accurate. Badger is top notch and they back their product. The fact that mine still work fine after that many years is testament alone to their build quality. So yes, it is worth it. Like new, IDK about that but close. Just sent it back. I take very good care of my air brushes, but this one just quiet pushing air out. Zero. First it started bubbling, then no air at all. It is thoroughly clean. After a good, detailed cleaning, I noticed all of the dings and dents started appearing. It is a good airbrush....but I just ordered a NEW one for $15 more. I say no to refurbed. ... show more
