>>7884049>Congratulations, you just paid a real airbrush price for a cheap chinkshit.>conflating "chinese bootleg" with "official product made in china"Two different things. One is a replica of someone else's design, stolen of course because this is fucking china we're talking about, made as cheap as possible, to the point of there being questions of weather or not it will even carry out it's intended function, the other is a real article that was produced in china, but built to an actual standard, with better quality parts and an actual quality control process.
I guarantee at least half of the items in your home were made in china, but they're official products built to their name brand's specifications. For fuck's sake, this is /toy/, you do know most of this plastic shit was produced in china, right? You are aware that the components of the computer you're on right now were made in either china or taiwan?
Chinkshit booklegs are fine for some things, like a simple mechanical air compressor, hoses, some fittings, etc. But chinkshit is NOT acceptable on precision instruments, like an air brush. Iwata's next cheapest brush is one hundred and fifty bucks, just because it's made in japan and can swap nozzle sizes. The Neo is $60 and has rave reviews from amateurs and professionals alike.
Are you seriously saying I should drop over a hundred on a brush, TWO HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS on a fucking generic tc20t air compressor, THIRTY fucking dollars on an air hose because it's got "Iwata" stamped on the packaging, and we haven't even gotten to all of the other tools I need to get; Paints, thinners, primers, panel liner, cement, a few hand tools I don't already have at my workbench, the models themselves to build, and a 3d printer because that's my main goal because I'm not a cuck who intends on building gundamshit forever.
Lol, you're the kind of sucker that takes their car to the stealership for a $200 oil change.
