I got in a Triplex airbrush set that I found while hunting for other German brushes. The Triplex features a front portion of the brush that screws off, allowing you to quickly change the configuration of the brush. Gravity feed, side feed, siphon feed, anything goes. I got it delivered from the Netherlands for @$180US. It is German made brush. The other thing, it has a fixed double action trigger set up. No pushing down, just pulling back. First part of the stroke initiates airflow, then at a fixed distance, paint initiation starts.
First thing that struck me is that the Triplex is a BIG airbrush. Here it is with some others for comparison. Top brush is a Paasche Talon, Triplex, Grafo T1, Iwata HP-B, and lastly a Thayer Chandler Model A.
The front portion screws off to allow the user to configure the brush however they choose. A couple of O-rings keep things where they belong, and out of places they don't. Each head has it's own adjustable needle packing.
The set I chose came with three different heads, three different nozzle sizes (.25, .35 and .5), needles, and a few different sized color cups (in addition to the "A" cup head) 1cc, 3cc's, and @10cc's on the large, fixed cup
Some real quick spray tests show that the brush has plenty of potential - and I look forward to playing with it much more.
I have a bit more information posted on my Facebook page, feel free to stop by and check it out - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1495542263884690.1073741873.1063587837080137&type=3
