- This video is a detailed and comprehensive review of the Paasche Talon airbrush. This model is equipped with the .38mm needle and nozzle. Within this buyer's guide we are looking at all the pros and cons of this airbrush. I'll also be comparing its spray pattern to the Iwata micron cm-b, eclipse, the micron takumi, sotar 20/20, the gsi creos ps-771, and others. Thanks for watching!

I had always thought they were a European company (founder was Norwegian), but lo and behold they started in Chicago and are now located in Kenosha Wisconsin, a few miles away from me. I drive by there all the time and keep meaning to stop in and see if I can get a tour.
Oh, and their airbrushes are great for the money 😋👍
I have used the Talon for years. I actually prefer it over my Iwata eclipse, so much so that I stopped using the Iwata altogether . Replacement tips and needles are far cheaper than the Iwata as well.
Thanks for all the methodical and consistent evaluations, along with the tips and advice. Your channel is one of the top additions to my subscriptions in the last few years.
WOW!! Thank you so much for this!! that is so generous of you. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the channel. Plenty more to come!! thanks again
Keep in mind the trigger has a rounded and a square surface, the rounded surface should face the Bowl/Cup when installing!
The Paasche Talons real benefit is the very cheap parts, everything Mechanical needs parts eventually, cheap and easy to get!
I really like my Talons, they have been very robust and dependable, like any Airbrush the nozzle size dictates the kind of paint used!
I'm so happy that I found this video, this is the airbrush that I'm learning to airbrush with! Sometimes it's easy to forget what it's like to be a rank beginner, and let me tell you that the intimidation factor of cleaning and disassembling combined with psi, technique, and proper thinning makes the learning curve for these feel STEEP.
fantastic review as always
I have had this brush for 2 years and love it. It has never failed me and I use it almost on a daily basis.
Thank you for the review and your discussion
Good reviewe. Explaining things that beginners can learn from.
I've had mine since 2018, and I love it.
Really good review
I bought a paasche talon and paasche compressor yesterday for my first airbrush kit, to use on Diecast Customs, i watched this video beforehand and the reviews elsewhere were awesome also, so i bought a complete setup. I use rattle cans presently so I'm anxious to start using my talon.
Great video. Guess we will have to buy this one too
Favourite airbrush channel on RUclips. Please keep up the hard work making videos and i look forward to watching your channel grow. Thank you
I really appreciate that. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great review, I would love to see an update with the finer needle and tip.
This is one I've been waiting to see what you thought about it. Bang on every question I was going to ask as you went more into detail, right down to the trigger tension multiple facets. I will take a few minor appearance blemishes in trade for the lower cost all day long. This looks like my next set of purchases as a pair of mid ranged price, but above good quality airbrushes.
It's really a fantastic airbrush. I should've bought this one long ago. Only had it for a few months, but so far it's been perfect. Thanks again!
I bought the 3-needle/ nozzle kit and I like this brush a lot you won't go wrong buying this airbrush.
I have one and it works fine!
Excellent review! You covered everything like a pro. I use mainly Iwata now, but I started out with Paasche VL3's painting T Shirts. I'll always have a place in my heart for them. And yes, "PASHAY" is the correct pronunciation, Jens Paasche was from Norway. Thanks! I'll use your link to buy the TG-3AS.
Thanks so much! Glad i got the pronunciation correct too.
Pretty. My „must have”😊
Good review. Which is normal for you Mark..Happy new year.
Thanks so much, Mark! Happy new year to you as well.
Great review! Personally, I'm in love with the Raptor (basically the same airbrush just a smaller cup) the interchangeable needles are a dream. Wishing you a happy and safe New Year! And keep the awesome content coming broham!🎉🎉🤘👍
Noticed the Juvel has the same body as the raptor minus the cutaway handle - usually cheaper if you can find it.
@@LemurKrazy I saw that, when I first was looking. But for me, the Raptor deluxe wood box edition was more economical. Everything in one package. 👍
@@kenshin73himura70 I already had a talon set so was cheap way to get an extra body and number 2 setup.
Thanks so much. Happy New Year to you as well!
The 3 head set is a great all in one solution. If you need a small cup version, the raptor and juvel are parts compatible as is the vision.
I think vision only gets you a mac valve and probably the smaller nozzle.
But yeah finish on body is a bit inconsistent.
First I must say; each person will find which brush feels and works for them.. I have Iwata 2 different ones. And 2 Paaasche and even had an Astec years ago. I pulled out my New Talon omg I love it . Although I started with Paasche, so I think it’s what you get used to. Practicing the techniques is what makes it happen. Some on the airbrush, but most on the user. All in all I love the Talon . The tips get a bit to get used to from regular ones. And a tip: if it’s not working right just get in you head to break down and reclean 9 x out of 10 that’s usually the problem. Love this brush.
Thank you for sharing.
After owning it for a few years, started to leak air from aircap O ring.
Some other comment on a talon video suggested removing the O ring and it seems to spray more consistently now.
I've got a Paasche Raptor that I swapped out the .25 needle nozzle set for the visions .2 needle (fyi.. not a major difference) but I love it. Before I bought it I saw sooooo many bad reviews of paasche brushes. I almost never bought one, but I'm glad I did. Idk why paasche gets a bad wrap but in my experience the talon/raptor/vision brushes are very good. Is there better brushes out there, sure, but you get a lot for what you pay for Paasche. Probably one of the most versatile lines on the market imo, and on par with any of the major brands such as badger, gsi creos, iwata, or grex.
Adding Juvel to your list - raptor body with the number 2 setup.
I agree. I like both my Talon and Raptor better than my iwata eclipse. I do not have a vision but am considering it. I also have the H&S Chameleon #1
I agree I bought one with all 3 nozzles and needles and I really like it but I just bought an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and haven’t used it yet so I’m wondering if the Iwata will spoil me
I’ve had this brush for a year now , it’s treating me well, but it’s not what I was looking for when I’m going for detail,I dont know what it is I just can’t get over with this airbrush maybe the cup but I had to put it aside when it comes to detail I even have all sized tip for it,so I use it now mainly for spraying bigger, ticket items and for coverage nothing for detail, but it is a reliable airbrush, I even picked up the Pasche vision with a Mac valve, and seeing if that would help me get over whatever it was, but same issue, I still use them from time to time, but nothing for any detail work that I’m looking to do these days.
i think you're right about the cup getting in the way for detail work. One of the reasons I prefer side feeds or small paint cups. It does spray very well and I have no problem getting good detail out if it, but like you I'm using it for larger applications that need coverage. Seems to be best suited for that.
I was looking at these for a while, but then became aware of the Paasche Raptor. It is basically the same brush with a smaller paint cup.
Follow up. The wife got me the Raptor for Christmas. I like it but when swapping nozzles, I found that you need to go much tighter than I feel comfortable with to stop bubbling in the cup. I think ill try adding an o ring.
I've used this airbrush for about 4 years now. And I still can't tell if it is me that is stupid or if it is the airbrush that is the problem. When it sprays good it's great, but sometimes I have wasted a whole night just trying to get it to spray good. I often nearly fully disassemble it to clean it, cleaning out the barrel, the nozzle, the needle, the spring assembly. Everything. And still it is a gamble whether it will give me good results. I usually thin to a consistency close to thick ink or milk. I don't know if I have boogered up my needle (I occasionally gently run the tip, while rolling, across a sanding stick to remove any bends or burs), but I often have spray patterns that are more of a line than a circular pattern. One thing to be careful of. I think I may have actually damaged my nozzle while cleaning recently. When reassembling, the rear screw that limits how far back you can pull the trigger should be backed out. If it is threaded all the way forward when you screw it in it can jam the needle into the nozzle farther than it should go. I didn't know this can happen, but it doesn't spray right anymore. Replacement parts have sort of been hard to get lately. Don't trust Amazon when buying needles. I tried to replace my TN-2 needles (0.38mm) ~2 years ago and they sent me the wrong one claiming it was the correct one. Sprayed awful until I just went back to my original needle. I don't want to hate on this brush, but I have had a lot of issues and it sometimes seems random when it will work good and when it won't. And I clean mine pretty good with a cleaning kit almost every time after spraying or before. I even drip Tamiya Airbrush cleaner down the nozzle and use airbrush pipe cleaners and gently push caked up paint out with needle and still it sprays weird. I very well may have done something wrong, maybe early on when I bought it, but it has forever been a gamble with this brush for me.
You need to turn the head until it's mid way between too tight and too loose against the o-ring. The head has an optimal distance it needs to sit around the nozzle. Mike's Brush discovered this.
Oh and you are pronouncing it correctly….😊
Hi Sir, I love your videos and you have taught me a lot. It’s unrelated to the video, but I was looking through all of them and don’t see one where you happen to teach how to actually put the outline of the picture on the paper? Do you have one and I missed it or would you be willing to teach the best technique? Thank you very much for everything you do.
Thanks! I show how I use a grid in the rose painting tutorial ruclips.net/video/qv5Z4LXhXco/видео.html and this portrait ruclips.net/video/FfzWFtJqUTI/видео.html
This airbrush rocks on thicker acrylics and stuff with urethane.
Niceeee 🔥🔥🔥
I’m looking for a detail airbrush for my portraits ,this one looking good.
You only use water the thin ur paints out?
yes sir! distilled water only and usually 10-20% of it added to the paint
@@theartworkshop gotchu and thanks for the response.
Keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 work! 🙏🏾💯💪🏾
👍👍👍👍👍
AMAZON sells paasche quick adapter fittings.
I love my Talon even better than my Iwata Eclipse hp cs. Just is a nicer spraying brush in my opinion
I have been working with this airbrush for about ten years. I have bought two of them. My biggest complain is the air valve. It is very sensitive. I have to change it about every two years.
Had a quick look and these are really expensive in the uk
Would love to hear your thoughts with the .20 needle as well as possibly on their raptor airbrush.
yeah the raptor looks pretty awesome. I'll have to pick it up one day
Have a raptor on the way - should arrive early next week. No difference besides smaller cup and all parts are interchangeable.
Juvel body is same as the raptor as well but marketed for makeup art and no handle cutaway.
Can recommend the Vision trigger if you can find one - makes the Talon feel a lot better.
Arrived in the same blister pack as talon in the video - no accesories, just the number 1 setup (0.25mm from memory)
Feels lighter and balance is perfect with the small cup.
Opening to cup is small so cleaning a little trickier but pinkie fits.
Otherwise Identical to gravity feed Talon.
One thing I did notice is a slight click when moving the trigger back in the last quarter if motion - might be the spring or trigger catching on something.
Great review. They get really bad reviews.
for a reason
what paper did you use in this airbrushing of the oriental woman's face?
I have got the paasche vision and the talon . They both have a big and loud air leak at the trigger mechanism . This is not a fixable issue .... What about your paasche guys ?
Thanks .
No surprise. No quality control. Paasche blows... literally
Whoa, thought is was a weed pipe at first.😂
Just got this brush yesterday. I went for the set mostly for the fan tip and .66 tip. holy crap this is a very underrated brush. I ended up playing with all 3 tips and the fan cap for a couple of hours just having a blast with it. I too am embarrassed I overlooked this brush or passed it over just because of being a airbrush snob. I would recommend this brush to anyone and especially to a beginner. The set was 98 bucks, and I can honestly say it's the best 100 bucks I've spent in quite a while.
On a different note, its awesome to see your channel growing and am honored to be a part of it.
One other thing. the coolest part of the paasche brushes is each needle, nozzle and cap is marked. If you look on your needle, nozzle and cap. You'll see two grooves on each part signifying it's the .38 . The .25 has one groove and the .66 has three. this makes it so easy to keep track of the right parts.
I know, right?! It's such a great airbrush and I just passed it up over the years. The big cup is really useful for large areas, and I prefer it for this type of brush. I've been using this recently over my eclipse and couldn't be happier. And thanks for the kind words. honored to have you as a part of it!
Idk if this is the same on other brushes but be careful when screwing the nozzle, mine snapped one day when I was screwing it in normally. Wasn't using much force at all but it got stuck so tight that I can't get the broken bit out. Amazon offered a refund but it's a pity because the I got it on sale and the price has gone up a lot
@@mcrksman I haven't had that problem yet although the nozzle threads did seem a little tight. I always use a touch of ChapStick on threads when putting back together to help lube and seal. Hope you get it all sorted out.
I dont hate it, but I dont love it either... Very clunky out of the box, not a smooth trigger, and even with the biggest size needle setup it does not want to feed paint unless very diluted. I do like the longer length of the exposed needle. I like the look of it. I like the size of it. and lastly I like the price.
Weird, some of those parts look identical to Badger parts. I can't find any link between the two companies, so I guess one copied some things from the other, or they both copied bits from someone else.
I agree, some parts seem identical. I'm sure there is some link between them but I have no idea either.
I had enough issues with mine to get rid of it. I also had the vision which is basically the same brush w/ the addition of the built in Mac valve but I had the same issues w/ it as well. Mainly the issues were the air cap o-ring and the needle seals.
Rellly. It's 70$
I believe Paasche is pronounced like Porsche but with an A, Pa-sha.
This is selling for £106 in the UK Amazon and the Kit is selling for £160 lol
People have been telling me on here that American airbrushes are over priced in the UK and in Europe. I don't get it, must have something to do with imports and taxes. I wish prices stayed consistent around the world.
Sorry bro. you problably will say I am in a bad moode but is the worse airbrush ever made at least the one I got It was a piece of ship.... I was so dissaponted on that airbrush I review it too. very bad manufacturing, scratches in the inner cup and to narrow to clean bended needle, it's heavy too. it'a a very cheap airbrush I will never ever recommended.
You must have gotten a bad one because I bought one and it’s awesome I couldn’t believe how good it was but if I were you I’d contact Paashe and see if they will give you a replacement
