Welcome Sign The only advice I can give on the double action air brush is practice, practice, practice. Good luck.

Hi Tom,, welcome!

I agree with Steve,          practice is the air brush ticket. For most jobs I use the single action Paasche, but you will get used to the double-action soon enough.

I too remember the kits you mentioned (Munsters, German chrome helmut hot rod, etc. etc.),, they were great fun. I also enjoyed the movie monser builds,     Frankenstein, Mummy, Dracula, and so on... good memories.

Best of luck with the hobby,,,,  be sure to share some pictures

Bill

Enjoy the ride!

I have a double action Paasche. Let me know if you need any help. I'm a professional luthier, and model maker - this is my bread and butter. It's no sweat when you know how. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Welcome aboard!

Maybe a picture of a squirrel playing a harmonica will make you feel better?
