Product Description
The 2020 provides the professional illustrator with an airbrush capable of producing the ultimate in fine line detail. It is more precise, more comfortable, and more reliable than any competitor. When fine line detail or the finest paint atomization for a “soft” spray pattern is required, SOTAR is the only choice. Finely pigmented properly reduced paints, water colors, inks, dyes, and low viscosity acrylics can be sprayed with the 2020. The elongated body maintains an efficient distance between trigger and paint reservoir. The trigger and back lever assemble easily thanks to our innovative “track and winged” design. The Sotar has a mounted 1/12 ounce color cup which allows for extended use before having to add color. The fine (black) needle / nozzle will spray a "Hair” line to 3/4-inch (19 millimeter) spray pattern The medium (white) needle / nozzle will spray a "pen" line to 1-inch (25 millimeter) spray pattern The heavy (clear) needle / nozzle will spray a "pencil” line to 1 1/4 inch (31 millimeter) spray pattern.

Word of advice: The Badger hose connector is proprietary and is really small. To make things easier for you, I recommend the Badger 51-042 QD Coupler. It is a quick release adapter for easier cleaning and has a built in 1/4 inch hose adapter (just unscrew the Badger fitting) to fit most standard hoses and compressors. Definitely worth the price.

I will note, despite thinning them a lot, and using various combinations of thinner and retarder medium, I did have lots of "spatter" problems with Humbrol Acrylics. I think maybe the pigment of those is just not "fine" enough for Sotar regardless of thinned consistency. The included alternative needle/cap combo might remedy this, but I didn't try it yet.
A word on the issue of authenticity of the product. I have looked over the package and the unit as carefully as I think anyone can expect and I find no sign that this is a "knockoff" product; so don't let the low price fool you. My unit came with the foam cutout box and the extra needle with wrench and extra crown cap. Also included were the warranty registration card addressed to Badger and the assembler signature page with parts list that other reviews have mentioned. It's quite possible these units are refurbished, however; as I did find some small dried paint inside the cup. Also the trigger action and spring needed a couple of drops of oil. After that, everything was smooth and ready to go.
My only quibbles are the relatively flimsy carboard box that it comes in compared to the standard Badger hard plastic clamshell and the shorter nose may not fit most cleaning pots / airbrush holders so you may need to add an airbrush holder to your work top. Fortunately, the gravity feed airbrush holder on my Badger TC 910 compressor works fine.
I highly recommend the Sotar 2020-F to any scale modeller looking for a superb detail airbrush at a stunningly low price.
