Badger 155 versus 360...

Wise and Sagely Starship Modelers,

I bring this question before the Council of Resin and Styrene. I'm looking at some airbrushes. Is there any difference, other than the swivel feed on the 360, between the Badger 155 and 360? All of the ebay and hobby shop descriptions are otherwise identical.

As always, any advice is appreciated.

Kenny

The 360 is the 155 with the swivel head.

Tom Foti - whose name you'll see in FSM reviews has had good luck with his 360. He had to replace the o-ring seals for the swivel head after about a year - but he is a reviewer who builds and paints far more than most of us...

Thanks, Terry! My suspicions have been confirmed.

My Badger 360 is the best there is for blowing dust off my model table.

I ordered a 155 last night along with a tee-coupling for my compressor. Now, I can have both airbrushes connected at the same time.

I bought the 155 Deluxe kit from Dixie Art. Free shipping means I got it for $69.95.

It's a lot less than I expected.
