Fan head can be used with smaller medium needle, just increase the pressure.
Edit 6/13/2022: Contact Paasche through the customer service email on their website and they will offer to help. I emailed them asking for advice on a potential fix and they just offered to replace the brush if I send it to them. Which is great service that I wasn’t necessarily looking for but will not turn down. I will update my review after I receive it and have time to find out if there are any issues!

New brush is fine. Turns out somehow the biggest nozzle had somehow broke and split. I started having the same paint bubbling problem with the new brush when I suddenly noticed this since I was using the original nozzles from my Amazon purchase.
Paasche service is great and they sent me a new brush sans accessories no issue when I just wanted some help troubleshooting the problem. I just wish I had noticed the nozzle sooner, but it is so small even the largest one.

Original review text:
This sounded like an incredible deal on paper. 3 needles and a fan nozzle and American made.
However the reality is that perhaps some things slip through QA. Or I just had bad luck.
First was the trigger and assembly, constantly getting stuck despite any adjustments to the lock but or assembly tension. The action felt very rough. As others suggested, I tried polishing and filing parts of both. This reduced it getting stuck some, but not enough. And I ended up introducing some filing marks.
Fine let’s just buy a replacement from Paasche. They are cheap ,easy to get and shipps fast directly from them. Trigger almost never got stuck after this, action still felt a little rough but not enough to be an issue.
Then after 2 weeks of moderate use(Using only Mr.Hobby paints and thoroughly cleaning with lacquer thinner with each use) the airbrush started bubbling in the cup and paint would not flow properly. Not even lacquer thinner would run through anymore. So I adjusted and cleaned everything physically possible with multiple tools. Nope. That only left the needle packing assembly and nut. And low and behold it’s already falling apart , I forgot to mention before I replaced the trigger at one point paint had also leaked into the trigger area a little.
They sell replacements for this, but the packing washer is all but IMPOSSIBLE to remove. I was able to remove the nut, but nothing I did could dislodge the washer. Trying to lubricate it or clean it to help loosen it, to using a small flat head entering from the front of the disassembled front to try and push it out. I even took a hammer to the screwdriver to try and give it more force to get it out.
At this point the brush is broken and unusuable.
I am still within my return window, but I feel guilty about wanting to return it since I feel it mostly failed from actual use, no matter how little.
When it worked, it was good.

Muy buen producto, unico inconveniente el diámetro de la entrada de la manguera no era similar al de la salida del compresor. Nada que no se pudiese arreglar.

ハンドピースの雄ネジが1／8でもなければPS（細）でもありません。
幸いな事にアダプターが付属してあり1／8にして使えますが入ってなかったらどーすんだこれ？
本体セットされてない替え針は先っちょにスポンジ刺して一緒のケース？
厚紙に貼って緩衝材で包むか、筒状ケースに針は入れろよ先曲がったらどーすんだこれ？
針サイズと見た目以外に良い所がまーったくない、デザイン重視の一本に皆さんもどうですか？
追記、通販で買っていい品物ではない。
販売者より星5ではないのがなぜか、商品の梱包、
内部は当方の責任ではないのですが当店の正しい評価を求とかとメールが？
税関で開けられるかもしれない品物を製造が雑に入れてるから良いやで売るか普通？
針先が曲がったら商品価値ゼロに等しいのですが理解してない？
一月近く届くのを待って届いたその場で返品作業になる確率が高いなあこんなメール来るなら猶更。
通販で買わない方が良い、お店で見かけて一目惚れしたなら是非！

Es muy cómodo para trabajar ya que es un poco más grande que los demás (es una preferencia personal). El problema es la calidad de las piezas la punta de 0.66 aunque es la más gruesa no pulveriza bien la pintura aunque esté bastante diluida, el gatillo se traba y continuamente está echando aire y hay que darle unos golpecitos, también se traba cuando se quiere rociar pintura u la suelta de golpe. De verdad no lo recomiendo para nada.

For years I have been using various cheaper airbrushes, and getting pretty good results. But in the end I realized I was buying at least one cheap airbrush a year, I had one I used only for priming or sealing, one configured for .2 mm for fine details, another for .5mm for larger coverage, and others that were just for spare parts for those others, and I had to do a full disassembly and detail cleaning every session, sometimes in the middle of the session. I had enough problems that I would wait to use my airbrushes until I had several needs for it to justify the cleanup time afterwards.
Then I saw this airbrush and realized that the price was less than I had in my numerous cheaper versions. It got me thinking, so I watched videos on it, read several reviews online and did a lot of research. Obviously I decided to give it a try, and I am very glad I did!
First, it has a great, hefty weight, so it feels good in my hand and has a great balance.
Second, the parts are ALL MARKED with lines to indicate which needle, seat, or cap they belong too, so you don’t have to get out the micrometer to figure it out any more!
Third, the cup feeds straight into the needle, so you don’t waste paint, you can spray as little as one drop from your bottle.
Fourth, the clean up is a breeze, color change is so fast I don’t even use my old cheap ones anymore for touch up or finer details, as I can swap from one color to another, or from a high output to fine detail needle setup faster than I can even get the cheap one ready to paint!
Finally, when I am finished for the night I don’t have to take 30 minutes to clean them all. I simply clean it like I would for a quick color change, then pull the needle and wipe it down and reinsert it. About every other use I disassemble the whole thing and do a more detailed clean just to make sure issues don’t build up, but I have seen no sign of any yet.
As I said, I am glad I gave this one a try as I am loving it!
I also recommend that you get the full kit, the wooden box isn’t anything fantastic, but the three needle sizes are great and the fan cap covers a HUGE area. You can drain the entire paint cup in a few seconds using it if you are covering something huge!
I am going to go back to the other airbrush reviews I have written and update them to include links to this airbrush and try to save some folks money and frustrations.
It turns out that while you can spray paint out of nearly anything and get a decent result if you are a decent hobbyist; but a good quality airbrush does indeed make a huge difference in results and enjoyment while using it!

I couldn’t wait to bust this bad-boy out and start detailing some of models. The Paasche Talon seems light years above my years-old VL series brush. Anyone looking to move from a siphon to a gravity feed model would do well to consider the Talon. It affords greater control of paint/air flow and faster cleaning between colors (IMO). I’ve only really played with it, as I just received it last night, but I was so excited I just couldn’t wait. I’d post pictures, but I’m too lazy, sorry.
Anyway, I recall reading a bad review and seeing a “low star” rating because of the included box, if you’re buying the airbrush for the box you’ll be disappointed. It includes an imported Chinese-made wooden box with a generic foam inlay that appears to have cutouts that will accommodate several Paasche models… in short, it’s a box that should “adequately” store your brush and the included accessories. I believe it better than the cardboard and plastic box that my VL brush came in.
In the end, I purchased this model airbrush for the equipment, not the box. Everyone has their own perspectives and priorities, so if you’re looking for a high quality storage container I recommend purchasing this brush and then an alternate container for it. Great brush for anyone looking to move up a notch or 2 from a simple siphon unit.
