Paasche VSR90

does anyone have any experience with the Paasche VSR90 air brush? a guy i go to school with is looking to sell one, was just wondering how well it shoots and what it its good for (detail work, etc.)

I've only used two airbrushes, but the first one was a Paasche VL. It looks similar to the VJS, like it's a siphon-feed version.

I started with that Paasche and was very frustrated. Granted, part of my frustration was with airbrushing in general (I thought it would be a lot easier than it turned out to be :) ). I went to a couple of "How-to" RC airbrush sites, and both of these fellows used the Iwata Eclipse. I got one. I love it. It's a superior airbrush. Much finer control (the lever has twice the range of forward/back movement), much easier to clean, much easier to use because I don't have to change the needle unless I want a very wide spray. Which I usually don't, for RC painting.

The Paasche VL I got was a very good deal. A great value. But -- and I already knew this -- you don't try to save money on the tools that make you money. An auto mechanic is the one guy who can tell the difference between a $30.00 Crafstman and a $70.00 Snap-On -- and he's the guy who will pay the difference!

I don't know if that analofy makes sense. But that's my input, given my limited experience.

I went from a Paasche to and Iwata (Eclipse) HP-CS and I absoulty love it. Cuts down painting time, more control, Chicks love it, Cleanup a breeze, It's the one that Mike Lavalle uses...... I got one on friday for 95.00 at my LHS, went to an art fair and picked up another one for 63.00, now I have two!

I'm now selling my Paasche!!! Anybody want to buy it?
