Paasche H vs. VL

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone has any experience with either of the Airbrushes listed. H being the single action, VL the Double. I have no experience with air brushing but have started making models again, mainly science fiction ships. I have been doing some research and understand that with the double you control both air and paint independently but am still quite naive to the subject. Is the difference worth choosing the double action over or would the learning curve be too high for an amature?

Yes, the difference is worth it. Being able to control the airflow without having to adjust the flow via a regulator on your air supply it so much easier. There's a learning curve no matter which you choose, so you might as well use the better of the two.

I have both and use the VL exclusively now. It's a great AB, easy to clean and you can use either cup or bottle.

The VL is a great brush. You can even make it act like a single action brush by presetting the trigger. Makes it a bit easier to paint large areas with consistent strokes. I got mine off a buddy who bought it to paint t-shirts. He couldn't get the hang of the double action and got frustrated with it...
