The Harder & Steenbeck Infinity airbrush can be described with two words; quality and ingenuity. It is the airbrush of choice for many modelers and painters; but why? And how does it compare to the brand most commonly associated as the best hobby airbrush: Iwata? Choosing an airbrush for hobby use is a personal decision; factors such as price, performance, and construction are key in making a decision. Further, I have seen many reviews or opinions where an individual loves his Badger or Paasche airbrush yet dislikes the higher-end brands. Likewise, I have seen countless that express the opposite sentiment. It is important to note that excellent results can be achieved with most airbrushes as long as you're willing to invest time in practicing and are able to ignore the quirks and frustrations that can exist with some airbrushes. I found the Infinity to have very few of these quirks and frustrations. Price
If you reside in The United States or Canada, you'll most likely find the Infinity at a very good price. I've heard rumors that it is a bit more expensive when purchased in Europe or any other location aside from the US/CA. A quick check online shows that the price is considerably lower than Iwata's flagship Custom Micron range and closer to to their entry/mid-range airbrushes. Further, where a damaged needle and nozzle on an Iwata Custom Micron might run you $90 USD to replace; similar parts for the Infinity are about a third of that cost. Performance
This category is somewhat difficult to assess since the airbrush techniques and paints used vary widely. But, I found the Infinity performs wonderfully with both Vallejo Model Air and LifeColor paints. With an available .15mm nozzle, the Infinity can achieve fine lines and details as small as any other airbrush available; however, these still require practice and patience (as with any other airbrush). Harder & Steenbeck really tout their unique trigger design which is indeed impressive looking. However, I found the feel of the trigger to be a little softer with less control than the Iwata Custom Micron range, no matter how much I adjusted the trigger tension. In my assessment, the spray patterns and atomization were on the same level as the Iwata Custom Micron CM-C Plus. Construction
One word... BEAUTIFUL. Harder & Steenbeck have done an outstanding job at producing an airbrush that not only feels smooth but fits together flawlessly. When I compared the Infinity up close to the Iwata CM-C Plus, it was obvious that the Infinity was much more polished and the cap/cup/nozzle threadings were much more refined as well. My favorite aspect of the construction though was the ingenious design of replaceable cups, nozzles, and needles. All can be interchanged quickly without the use of tools; so if you need a different needle/nozzle size during your spraying it can be done in a matter of seconds. This also makes cleaning and replacing parts a breeze. In summary, the Harder & Steenbeck Infinity airbrush is a winner. It can deliver results on par with an Iwata Custom Micron but at a much lower price. It's great design for interchangeable parts make it simple to clean and allow several "attachments" to be purchased and used.
