What air brush

[Dave Dawes]

Hi all, I am thinking of going into the dreaded ( in my book) world of airbrushing.

What would any of you recommend,  it will be used mainly for scenery work

Good explanation here: https://spraygunner.com/blog/types-of-airbrushes-few-things-you-should-know-before-buying-your-first-airbrush/

Also some good courses if you are near the venue: https://airbrushes.com/product_info.php?products_id=22721

I would always advise that an airbrush with a full catalogue of spare parts is a must. Prolonged use dictates that at sometime spare parts will be needed.

Good luck with the airbrushing in the future.
