Hi everybody, I'm planning to buy my first airbrush with air-compressor.
My budget is approx. 400 euro. Can anybody give me some tips on do's and don't, needle sizes, compressor spec's and so on!

Thx in advance, John.

hi dragon wagon

well the things that are mostly used is either badger or aztek

this is because they are both very good
the diffrence is that badger is full metal and the needle runs trough the spray

the aztek has a needle nozzle from plastic.
that means you cant spray aggresiv paints, like car spray's etc

for the compressor, revell has an oil compressor wich is very good I got it myself you can regulate to 6 bar.

here it goes the badger 150 airbrush costs 99 euro's
the aztek has a nice set. its in a wooden box with all the nozzles cups and hose.
I dont know the exact price for it but if you want I can find it out for you.
