There are many good brands of airbrush. Badger comes to mind right off the top of my headTongue [:P] You will find many-a-thread  on the subject of a good brush (starter set for a beginner, Which A/B? etc) You'll find it varies from person to person & what purpose you'll be using it for. general coverage, Camo patterns or, fine detail. Smile [:)] Others will know more than I since I am a noobie to airbrushingBlush [:I]
 I currently have a cheapy single action from Harbor Freight and am awaiting the arrival of a Badger 175 (double action) which a fellow modeler is sending my way.Tongue [:P]

Will do a search on here for "which airbrush to buy" or "which airbrush is best" and you'll get plenty of answers to the first part of the question...

I did a search for Royal Tint airbrushes and came up with a few listings on ebay.au.. the one I saw for $59.99 might work but it is a spray gun more suited to auto detailing and such.  The Royal tint for $124 AU is more suited for modeling.

Ok I also just noticed most of the airbrushes on there are being sold by one person, it's http://stores.ebay.com.au/Lewis-Online-Shop, there seems to be a multitude of airbrushes on there.  Look for something with a needle size of .3 to .5mm which would be better suited to model paint.  The H-30C Aerographe Airbrush Kit is a clone of the Iwata HP-CS and would work fine for what you are doing.  And for $55 AU, a good price.  (the HP-CS clones here run about $85US (about $116 AU) so that's a bargain!)

Good luck!

I bought a new AB off that guy last week. He's a great seller, Got mine 4 days after I ordered it from Hong Kong. I went with the Iwata HP-CH. It's a bit more expensive, but it's an awesome AB. From what I've heard, Iwata or Badger are the brands to go for when buying an airbrush. Paasche is also a good brand (I've been using the Paasche VL for the last few years and am happy with it). Hope that helps you.
