I haven't squirted anything yet. It has a .2mm nozzle. Will update when I do.
Did I need another airbrush? Of course not...but it was 2 for 1!

Pictures worth a thousand words.
First cleaning

Of course i'll be sending it back for replacement or repair, whatever they decide. Since it was a 2 for 1 sale, I have another that I will inspect before using.

Bad news! I like my Badgers.

I do also, I got more than I need. But if the other one I got last week falls apart, this ain't our old school Badger.

The RSO field kitchen kit looks like a lot of fun!

Andy had these two booklets on sale for $10 each, and I managed to find a kit of the 1/16th scale VW van in blue. Funny thing is I had a 1959 VW delivery van that looked just like this back when I was married to the first War Dept. I couldn't move it to storage so she ended up with it and swapped it to pay for work on the 1976 van she kept. Wish I still had it, but oh well.

These should be pretty decent reference for the new 1/16th scale kit that Andy will be sending me soon.

This van kit is going to be quite large, and Revell looks to have done a reasonably decent job on it. At first look there is a lot that is correct on it. I know the tail lights are not correct for this era van. The kit is based on vehicles that are in Europe and all of those had the tail lights replaced and upgraded due to safety laws there. I could probably make the correct type tail lights it should have. Will have to wait and see.

More news about this.
Kevin at USA Airbrush Supply contacted Ken at Badger, Ken put a stop to my returning the defected airbrush and is sending me a new one instead.
Thanks to both for exceptional service!
