Guys, I think you're having problems with a good airbrush. Well, here's a good quality aibrush with a low price. I have here an airbrush which only cost P1153.75 to be exact. Find it out at National Bookstore SM Southmall. Tanong nyo na lang sa ale. Ok, inlucluded in this kit is the airbrush, compressor, tube that connects the airbrush to the compressor cap, compressor cap (you know, the one you put on top of the compressor to make it work?), 3/4 oz jar with cap that connects to the airbrush, 2 oz jar with cap. Pretty cheap and pretty useful. Ok naman sya sa akin. I've used it already

I talked to shonen_red about this sa YM last night. Thing is, mukhang canned air ang source niya (am I right shonen?) so while this is a good starting point... later on mas okay pa rin yung magkaron ng compressor.

I'm gonna try it still, though :-) It will serve my purposes for the meantime

You are right, it is a good start - parang ako, I bought my AB last year pero wala pa ako compressor kaya nagtitiyaga sa canned propellants...I think you should also consider the type of AB (dual or single action and internal and external mix).

Another alternative used by a local modeler is an air tank with a modified outlet. Mas mura ang refill nito compared to kung bibili ka ng cans of propellant all the time.

Magkano propellant cans? 300 to 500 depende sa size? Ang Kawasaki compressor's price is around 5 - 7 cans of propellant. Medyo sulit na rin if you plan to paint for a long time :-)

May 2 cans pa ako of propellant I bought from the US 4 years ago. Testors propellant. Astig no? Branded. Mura ko lang nabili dun eh...

Kapag naubos ko yun, saka ako bibili ng compressor
