I've been on a 15 yr hiatus and finally coming back to armor modeling. I'm a bit out of touch and wanted to get a recommendation for a airbrush, compressor and accessories needed to get back on track (so many options out there).
I saw an old post recomending the Iwata HP-c plus and sprint jet compressor. I was wondering if these are still good recomendations. I managed to find the AB at $166..95 and the compressor for the same amount. My previous exprience was with an old single action Paasche but wan't too thrilled with the results from that AB.

Can't comment on the compressor... but I have a HP-C and Love it....... (I have a Paaschee VL as well but it's not getting much use)
Also if you have a compressor for other uses they'll work........

Pearl Art in Ft Lauderdale or Jerry's Artarama in Pompano Beach both have airbrushes and compressors at very reasonable prices. Jerry's prices are better for what you get though.
Paasche, Iwata and Aztec are available at both.
