don't panic Kickin', the $28 155 mentioned is not the Anthem, here's a link with a bunch of reviews from both new and experienced ab'ers regarding the Anthem 155 model

I should specify "not the Anthem package", scroll down a little further on the Badger website and it's there, I didn't want Kickin' to have a heart attack thinking he spent 80 and could have gotten it for 28... ...76 or 78 dollars plus shipping and 2-4 weeks lag time, Michaels was 78 with the coupon which I didn't have but signed a form at the desk for the discount, also, Walmart used to carry a package in the toy section with the models made by Testors, AZTEK, hobby shops carry it but it's cheapest at Wally's...that is a good inexpensive starter airbrush kit and easy to use, pretty straight forward with interchangable tips...sorry for any confusion, and best of luck.....

Sorry but it is the Anthem ....... I bought 3 of them and they look exactly as pictured in the link you posted ..........

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying ........ do they have more than 1 Model 155 ........ I can't find it anywhere in their literature or talking to the guy at Badger ..............

Been trying to tell you guys ....... this is one heck of a sale ......... I also bought 3 of the older model Airstar 5's for $25 each ....... and 3 other buddies got the last of those ........

if you read what I wrote, yes the 155 is $28 (plus shipping?) and that's a very good price, glad you got some and hope you love them, the thread was started by a guy looking for his "first airbrush", if you scroll down the Badger Garage Sale page you will see the "155 Anthem package"(and they've added another package as well) which was the one brought up by me and KBA as a recent purchase and is available at Michaels for a price comparable to the garage sale price and is now sold out at the Badger Garage Sale...since this is the "first" airbrush for the guys mentioned above, they'd need the package because the airbrush won't work very well without a hose, paint cups etc... your post implied that you purchased ("the 155 is $28") the same package that KBA and I purchased at Michaels for $78, that is not the case, I simply pointed out to KBA that it was apples and oranges and I again say, that is avery good price for the 155 airbrush only, I have one and like it very much, I provided the reviews link to help fish4life get more impressions of the ab than just mine alone...I hope that clears it up...PEACE!

very popular ab with the taxidermists, I'm sure you'll be very happy together, if I've ruffled any feathers I'm happy to meet at a favorite fishing spot and I'll bring the beer, I have a wife and 3 daughters and, well...I have my daily quota of arguing already, prefer fishing and trying to make plugs!
