Upgrading airbrush- old ultra to giraldez mk2?
About a year ago, I was gifted an old ultra (definitely not the 2024 one) with some replacement nibs and have been learning to airbrush using it. I got myself a tank compressor and it’s been serving me well enough, painting models primarily. I can comfortably do large surfaces with it and have used it for priming and base coats. However, when it came to detail it doesn’t feel comfortable or precise whatsoever. The lever feels a little clunky and difficult to manage.
I started looking into what brushes could make for a good secondary, something nicer and higher end. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend things like the iwata eclipse, the evo 24 and creos brushes, but they seem more “generalist” middle of the line. I’d like to splurge a bit on a nice tool and that led me to the giraldez mk2. I’ve seen people voicing their complaints about the first and the base infinity model, and that a lot of these have been fixed in the mk2. A big pro for me was the aspect of all the parts for the base infinity and evo being compatible with the giraldez so if I want to try different parts it’s not a hard change. (With the exception of the bigger paint cup ofc) the price is not a concern for me and I understand that I can get a lot of longevity in the long run with it.
So this brings me to the point of this post. Would the giraldez be a good buy to use as a precision secondary alongside my ultra as a workhorse? Should I consider something else instead? Any help would be appreciated thank you in advance!!!!
