These melts plastics. So make sure your AB is not made of plastic or dont apply it toplastic parts.

But then again I'm having a change of heart due to limited finances this semestral break. I'm thinking of continuing to save up for a badger one instead of the Tamiya.

I have a friend who's been airbrushing for years and recommended me to get a Badger double-action one than getting a Tamiya. Sure I want a Badger airbrush, but then I'm still thinking if a double-action suits me since I'm just a zoids customizer, nothing really professional.

But then it might be better if I'd spend just once on the airbrush and stuff than to get new ones in the future. So more or less I'm tied up between getting a good double-action airbrush or just a regular single action.

any opinions?

That's my next project after I get more experience with my Tamiya.

Should I get the single or double action Badger? Coz I want a one shot airbrush to last me long, but with also budget restrictions since the purpose isn't really for profession or career, just plain hobby?

Is the single action good enough? What do you guys think

Single action works like a spray can only, you cannot adjust/regulate the paint flow. I recommend Badger, its all-metal.
