applying Floquil and other solvent-based paints, but do like my double-actions for control. My Iwata double-action is great for applying Modelflex, which the Pasche will not do well. I also loved my double-action Badger 150's for applying delicate weathering, but they both wore out, and I have not replaced them, since I am now doing much of my weathering using washes, dry-brushing, and sanding or rubbing techniques, which to me now look more like the real thing. Oversprays can be applied to blend using either of the above. Unless you are doing lots of advanced weathering applications, the simple single-action brushes do the job very well. Elden Gatwood
