Hello to any one who can answer my question. I am new to armor modeling and using an airbrush. I have a Badger 200 airbrush and my problem is this when i have the spray at a wide spray it works fine but as I turn the needle to get a finer spray The paint starts getting thinner and thinner till i have just air comeing out of the brush. I have tried cleaning the brush many times and i have tried thinning the paint alot the only thing i can think of is that it is either the air brush although it is brandnew or because im new to this and still using the air brush propellent can that maybe i'm not getting enought pressure. I'm open to any ideas on how to get it to work. Thanks.

Where the tip of the needle is, the tip is cracked. I had the same problem.

On what paint you are using. If you use acrylic stuff like Polyscale for example then on finer settings it clogs up the airbrush due to the rapid drying time. I've tried using Polyscale on a fine setting and just can't get the damn stuff to flow. Hope this helps!
