    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Quite pleased with the choice I made for the airbrush in the end, (Gaahleri advanced Seeker v2), I only bought it cos it had the essentials I wanted, top trigger, dual action, easy to take apart/clean, reasonable quality, not dirt ceap budget, but not mad top end, etc. Had not done a lot of...

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    I already have an "Acme" , eg, home made, spray booth with extractor fan in the garage, but think I will invest in some decent face masks, already have loads of disposable gloves. (y)

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Nuther stupid question, (Sorry!) but I assume most AB's and compressors use the same fittings, so in theory any AB can be used with any compressor? is that right? Looks like most use 1/8BSP? And, I've also read that dual action AB's are better, eg: separate control of air and paint, rather than...

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Having read (a bit) more, seems like a reservoir tank, usually 3L is recommended so the compressor is not pulsing on/off all the time, so less stress for the machine, etc, so I presume that is preferred. How about this on the SMS, see linky? SMS compressor deal Currently out of stock, but I...

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    I already use the SMS shop and have bought loads off there with the discount....I was going to find something suitable that I like online, then ask John to see if he can match or provide a similar deal. (y)

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Can you just change needles in each airbrush, eg: swap in/out a 0.45 for 0.3 or do you need two different airbrushes with different sized needles, eg: the needle is matched to the AB? Or I suppose what I'm asking is can any needle fit any AB?

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Hmm, so most suggestions are blowing my budget (£200 ish) just on the compressor alone!!! Are budget options not worth looking at? Something like this - Jadlam compressor £159

    Which airbrush would you buy?

    Prolly both, I don't want cheap, but I don't want mega money top end either, as I might bin it after a month if I don't get on with it, Lol!

    Steve's Hasegawa 1/72 Apache AH64A attack helicopter (Geoffers US icons GB)

    Great result mate. I know its an ugly beast, but I've always had a soft spot for the Apache, ever since I had a ZX Spectrum Simulator game for it, way back when. Never built oner either, so maybe one day..... your's looks good though.... (y)
