I sold my Aztek 470 after using it three times.
Too much trouble to get clean and I didn't trust the plastic.
As "spare wheel" I use a really cheap clone of a clone of
a Badger 150. The important seals are accessible and can
be repaired/replaced with very basic tools and supplies
(o-rings and basic seal material from automotive supplies).

yeh its a bugger to clean but its an airbrush and all i can afford i would like to get a metal one and to be able to strip it when cleaning so i can make sure it is al-l running well.

For the price of a 470 you can get a good all metal one.
For half the price you can get an El-Cheapo double action airbrush
which will do most jobs except fine lines and detail work. (with small cup,
two glass jars, hose and adapter to 1/4 inch couplers)
For something like 67 Australian dollars you get a decent
cheap airbrush here in Stockholm.
Postage to Oz will add to this of course ;-)
18 Oz $ will get you a really cheap external mix one but that one
isn't really useful for anything ;-)
