Evolution 126214 CRplus 0.2 Airbrush Gun

I bought one of these airbrushes to work alongside my H&S Infinity CR Plus airbrush. At the moment I have a 0.2 mm set-up in the latter and a 0.4 mm setup in the Evolution CR Plus (for Acrylic primers and base coats).These brushes are fantastic, the feel whilst spraying is just silky smooth. Compared to most of the Iwata range with their tiny paint nozzles they are extremely easy to clean and maintain. No tools needed on the Evolution.One of the outstanding features of both of these brushes is the two-pronged needle protector which allows easy cleaning of the needle tip whilst working (just pinch between finger and thumb). No other airbrush has this feature. It is worth its weight in gold. It also allows a clear view of any paint build up.The two brushes are very similar and many parts, e.g. nozzles/needle set ups can be swapped from one to the other. The only difference between them are the adjustable quick fix paint stop which is standard on the Infinity, but is available as an extra on the Evolution CR Plus, and the needle chuck housing. On the Infinity this allows for adjustment of trigger “weight” for spraying. However, the Evolution CR Plus does not actually need this. The trigger as supplied is light and very, very smooth. Again, this brush could be converted to the Infinity CR Plus needle chuck arrangement if desired.Both airbrushes mentioned can be fitted with: 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm nozzle/needle set-ups. Again, no other airbrush has this facility. Finally, which may be important depending on your spraying needs, there are many different paint cup sizes which can be fitted too (FYI: H&S “Colani” cups fit as well).Notes: I have been using airbrushes since 1967 and I am a serious fan of Harder & Steenbeck. This is just yet another example of this breed. Feel, quality, reliability, versatility, easy to clean and maintain all in one. What more could you possibly ask for?ADDENDUM: Why the Evolution CR Plus and not the Evoltuion – the former is Copper/Nickel/Chrome plated and the latter is just Copper/Nickel plated. Nickel discolours and wears with time and some people are actually allergic to it. This is not the case with the Chrome, which is hypoallergenic.

I'm relatively new to airbrushing over the last two years or so.I decided to buy cheap to practice on and I'm glad I did.I've gone through 4 of the cheap Chinese airbrushes and decided now was the time to invest in a top manufacturer.I have got nothing negative to say about Harder and steenbeck, they make quality products and the spares and accessories are abundant.This airbrush is definitely worth the money, the paint flow is the smoothest, it feels quality in the hand and the trigger is so smooth and infinitely adjustable from a fine line to covering medium sized areas.If your thinking of this airbrush go for it.It's worth every penny.Be warned though the paint cup supplied is the small one which does tend to run dry quick.But having said that you can always purchase the bigger cup.

Put simply this is my workhorse. Easy to use, easy to clean. Great.

Bought as a gift for a Warhammer addict. Recipient is very pleased with it. Happy that models can be detailed

Having bought cheaper ones in the past, I realise that this is amazing and well worth the money. Once you get the hang and over being scared of taking it to bits it's easy to clean and put back together. This is actually the second one I bought, one is for acrylics and the other for alclads.

High quality airbrush which is both easy to use and easy to clean. Purchased the adjustable tail piece for accurate control of paint flow. For best results mix paint in a small container then transfer to airbrush paintvcup with a pipette as the supplied paint cup is very small.
