Have "dabbled" with modeling for a while, but just recently took it up as my main hobby. I just bought my first kit in 4 years ( a Tamiya M-60A1 MBT) Was looking for a decent airbrush. Any suggestions?

Looking forward to hearing from you all and helping however I can.

Welcome to FSM benjaminrc. Good to see you've finished dabbling and are starting to get serious now. LOL
As far as airburshes go, I use the Paasche H single action brush and it does everything that I want it to do. If you check out the Painting Forum, there's lots of info on this very subject.
Keep on posting.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Welcome to our little "family". Hope you like your stay. Dabbling is OK, but if you lurk around here long enough, you'll be hooked! Like Robert, I also have a Paasche H, but also have a Paasche VL. The H has worked superbly for almost 25 years, and has done everything I've asked of it. The H model can be purchased as a relatively inexpensive kit, and is a great way to get started. I understand Badger has a competing model as well.

DUH...I also wanted to tell you that I, too, built the Tamiya M-60 with reactive armor a few years ago. It's a nice, old kit that builds up pretty well. If you have any construction questions, I would be glad to help.
