discussion Do i really need an airbrush?

[Guest]

I use Humbrol and Tamiya spray cans, and they seem to work fine, £4.50 a can, plenty of paint etc etc...

But its still a pain to mask everything, but I do personally prefer the airbrushed/sprayed finish, theres always someone who can get the same with an ordinary brush!

Just my little bit said, Mike.

I have found that a brush is as good as a cheap airbrush using propellant cans with me. I have to put too much paint in them, So until I can get an A/B with gravity feed cups the brush is king, and ambush camo is a no no for me.

So course my new AFV club sturmtiger is staying in the box until i can get the proper stuff. I wouldn't dare brush that!!

One-colour russian tanks, on the other hand....

so in my case it's the paint scheme that decides what i use atm

Airbrush

No, paintbrush

Er, toothbrush?! Don't know

Both! None? Lost.

Personal preference. I use both. Airbrush for overall coats, priming, varnishes etc. Paintbrush for details and figures. Toothbrush for spattering mud. Hairbrush on my head. I can't do fine weathering spray or exhaust stains without the airbrush. Each to their own. Budge up on that fence!
