My Opinion
After 35 years of hard use my Original Badger airbrush gave up the fight.
I have now bought a Brand new Badger air brush and hopefully it will last 35 years.
I have once again found Badger steps up to the plate when it comes to quality and this new air brush is well made and works well.
About the only thing I'm not happy with is the packaging. You spend good money on a quality product and in return I would expect a higher standard in packaging.
35 years a go I bought my first Badger air brush and back then the packaging I felt was just above poor standard. Sad to say I feel nothing has changed.
Badger if you are reading this could you consider packing all your products in more solid containers. I am in the process of making a small plastic box so my air brush can be protected from knocks and bangs when not in use.
I will always support the Badger product.
Keep going Badger, may your brand still be around long after I'm gone.

My opinion
1 of 1 found this helpful On the whole the kit is well laid out. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Lots of detail.
The parts are well molded and fit together with out any problems.
There are only 2 things I don't like about this kit.
1 The price I think is to high
2. No main engine.
I get so fed up with these curbside models. When I pay a high price for a model I expect it to have an engine. Interesting to note in this kit is even though there is no main engine there is a gearbox.
I intend to put an engine into my fire engine. It won't be the correct engine as I don't know what engine goes into the real fire engine. I will be putting a Detroit Series 60 as it's the most modern engine I have.
To put a positive spin on this situation having a modern looking fire engine in the collection is a fantastic thing.
I hope Trumpeter continue to bring out more modern vehicles. Please include an engine in future models
