Hi everyone,

My name is Jeff and I'm ready to resume model building after a 10-year absence due to things like getting an education, establishing my career, etc, etc. I used to build kits in my teens as well as any resource-limited teen could: using Monogram / Revell kits (back before they were Revell-Monogram) and painting using nothing but a plastic-bristled brush.

I'm going to do this more seriously now (ie paint accurately instead of creating a red/black 1:48 F-16 back in 9th grade) so I'm trying to read up on as much technique as I can and hopefully getting an airbrush this weekend.

What brand of airbrush would you seasoned veterans recommend? What about air sources?

Talk to you soon!

Jeff

Welcome to the Forums Sign - Welcome [#welcome].  There are lots of great AB's & compressors available.  Buy the best your budget can handle.
