Guys, pease recommend me one of the airbrushed that can be purchased from LuckyModel here - http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?department=TOOLS&toolstype=AB
I've got my trusted Aztek with fine line nozzle, but I feel I need something more solid for painting German camo mottling and postshading as well for painting large areas.
Thanx for your advices and ideas in advance!

Iwata. Whatever you can afford, go Iwata.
Revolution CR is under $100, or get the HP-C+ if you can afford it.

I love Iwata airbrushes but I found something that I want to share. This site "http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/abdbrand.aspx" is a company that I found on EBay. They sell Airbrushes that appear to be shameful knock offs of the Iwata models. They cost 25% of Iwata's price.
I bought this one "MAS G40 High Detail Dual Action Airbrush" It is the model that has an air pressure adjustment on the brush. I compared it to my Iwata and I could tell that it was not as well made on the outside but It was the same otherwise. (performance wise)
My first brush had a defect and would not allow me to get max airflow through the adjustment valve. I called the company in San Diego and they shipped me a new brush without waiting for the return and sent me a shipping label for the old one. The replacement works great. Just like the IWata.
My Iwata cost around $250 and this new one was $60. So even if it does not last as long I will still be happy.
Check it out. I am obviously happy.

Guys, thank you all for help.
John, very nice link! As I understand airbrush hose is not included. I have one for my Aztek, but will the screw thread fit Master Airbrush?
Anyway, thanx for help!
