I second the recommendation for using Chicago Airbrush Supply. Watch for frequent % off specials. Right now, a Father's Day one is going on with 15% off . code FD15

I recommend Iwata Revolution. After using various Badger and Paasche single and dual action internal airbrushes, I feel that the Iwata Revolution models are the best bang for the buck. They are not real cheap but I have found that they provide the best all around performance and maintenance for a all my modelling. They feel great, are very durable (dropped many times with no needle damage) and spray very well with moderate cleaning (I don't have to constantly thoroughly clean between colors like I had to with my Paasche Talon. Talon works well enough but the needle sticks out way to far and is easily damaged (I have hade to replace 2 needles).

I have two gravity feed Revolution models: the large (CR model) and small cup (BR). But, I think you could get away with just one.

I recommend looking at prices at Chicago Airbrush Supply. In my opinion they have the best prices and usually offer free shipping. I have purchased both of mine from them. I paid just around $99 each. They also have fast shipping to east coast in my opinion.

Get a Badger patriot 105. Excellent gravity feed, wonderful results, easy to clean, built well, made in USA and around $75.00.

The "Master" series from TCP Global are probably the least expensive that come with a nice warranty - see HERE. The Iwata Neo is a step up in price but a nice airbrush. Don't know your budget but for ~$130, Grex, Iwata, H&S, Paaschea and Badger all make very good ones for modeling.
