re airbrushes

Here is a link to a shop in Japan I often buy from when I am there on business:

150GPB translate to about 28.000Yen(activate Japanese language support on your browser to prevent the site from looking like garbage).

It will give you an idea as to what different types of sets can be had for which price.
At times those prices can drop another 20%.

knowledge is such a priceless object :)

You can also have a look at the Tamiya HG or similar airbrushes, they are made by the same people that make the Iwata Airbrushes.

For 150GPB you should be able to get a semi-decent compressor and an A/B like the Tamiya HG. FYI, Hobby Link Japan carries the Tamiya HG for about 62 GBP.
Personally I find the Tamiya brushes a bit overpriced.

Monogram DE sells airbrushes and I think they market them as Revell. Most of them were Badger clones, the 175, the Vega 2000 etc... I would check the price on the real Badger models before buying the Revell. I'm not sure what Badgers run where you're at, but 150 pounds seems a lot... the complete Badger 175 set in the states is about 65 US dollars. And comparable prices on the other Badger sets..

---edit--

I looked it up and the Revell "Vario" looks to be the Vega 2000 by Badger.... the set retails here for about $69 US. which translates to about 36.5 GBP... might be cheaper to order it from here and have it shipped! even if shipping is $40(US) that still only adds 20 pounds to the price.... of course I am sure there is an outlet near you that someone can provide you with for Badgers...

here's the airbrushes:

Revell "Standard" = Badger 350
Revell "Vario" = Vega 2000
Revell "Professional" LOOKS like an Omni 5000 (not sure)
Revell "Flexible" = Badger 360

good luck!

lol and there was me thinking £150 for the revell vario complete was expensive guess not then lol
guess i still have a lot to learn about this model making :)

You are100% right. I learned this many years ago.

Do they actually sell Airbrushes??
Or are they simply repackaging other companies A/B??

For things like A/B, Compressors and other high-end tools go with a prooven brand and don't try to skimp on he bucks either.
Atleast that is my opinion as I have seen and felt the difference between low-end and high-end products.
