Bought it as my first aerograph. This video is fantastic, how professional and detailed all the descriptions are, shows how you guys care about your customers. Thank you for all the infos.

Quite nice having the manufacturer put up videos on disassembly and technical details and and so on - not just the usual empty marketing BS. I like.

Just received my new H&S evolution CR 2n1. Coming from a Patriot 105. Model making, planes, tanks, ships. Sprayed for the first time about 15 minutes ago. Tamiya acrylic, thinned with retarder. I'm fairly new to airbrushing but the whole time I was spraying I kept saying WOW, WOW, WOW. The Color Controller (spray limiter) is a game changer for me as it keeps me disciplined on putting just the right amount per pass. The control I had was incredibly precise, made me feel like a pro! These videos by Warrick made the whole difference in my decision. Best purchase this year!

Wunderbar and Thank you!

Steve from Canada. 🙂

I just got my evolution today, it was recommended by my local dealer. I am so excited to get into this completely new hobby for me now! Will watch a lot of your videos for sure!

"first connect it to the compressor"

Me who already disassembled it a couple of time: ):

I am so happy that I joined the H&S community with my new EVO CRplus 2024. It has an exceptional performance and so fun to use on scale modeling. Also learned great tips and tricks from this video.

After watching your tutorials for some time I bought the 0.28 solo. The decision was so good that I got myself the 0.45 solo for Christmas.

never used an airbrush before and got this one because of the follow along video here. Thanks so much for making this!

This airbrush is my 3rd, and definitely my favorite to use. The trigger is way more comfortable, better control, way better detail. The others still have a use for me(primer, super wide spray, varnish, etc) but for actual detail this is my favorite all rounder

Would love a video on how to use the smaller needle :)

I've just ordered my first ever Airbrush - the evolution - and I've been watching your videos religiously before I get cracking. Informative, easy to digest, and very comprehensive! Nice stuff

I just bought mine this afternoon after burning myself on a cheapo Chinese dragon brush. Thank you everyone at Harder and Steenbeck for designing, building and testing such a work of art that is so ridiculously user friendly while exuding "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" levels of quality! Thank you Warrick for making this insanely detailed guide and all the others you put out on Youtube for all of us to learn from. You are all truly going above and beyond what any sane person could expect of an Airbrush company. Keep up the phenomenal work!

Just bought the evolution as my first ever airbrush. Can't wait to start using it. Thank you for making tutorial and informative videos like this as they are a massive help for beginners.

@andre-dx4yw 6 months ago

i didnt know about the marks on needle and tip to denote the size fantastic!

@Ohforfusake 7 months ago

I've had this airbrush for about a year as my third airbrush. Worth every dollar and then some, very versatile between broad areas and details, has a very sensitive trigger and easy to disassemble and clean.

@Guenter01 10 months ago

Once again a very interesting Tutorial. Although I have been using the Evolution (old and new one) for several years, I keep getting new tips that was unknown to me until now. Just keep it up. 👍

I've always wanted to get into airbrushing. When looking at them about a month ago, i stumbled across H & S, and saw it was German engineering. I read reviews and decided to get my first ever. It's the Evo 2024 Crplus solo (0.28) After watching a bunch of your videos, and learning a lot, i decided today to get the 0.45 needle set. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you for the great videos!
