T3chDad - I clicked on the link you provided and what I saw really left me awestruck. I'm at a loss of words on that kit. If I had to describe it in one word, it's... BEAUTIFUL!

 
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you like it.

I don't really have any experience with any other airbrushes, but I love my NEO.  I did my research, watched some reviews and introductions on youtube.  Between the reviews and the price point, it was a no-brainer.  Having said that, I love it!  It's easy to clean, has great control, and the three different size paint cups are really nice (never used the largest one).  I can shoot very fine lines and also has decent coverage.  It seems to be a great all-around AB. I use low PSI most of the time (12 ish).  I've only used it on one model since only recently got back into plastic modeling after more than 30 years.  You can see the results here.

Love it! Now you're a regular McGuyver!

That's what my wife calls me. Big Smile

After using this thing though an entire project I have a small mod...  I did end up drilling one hole in the bracket so I could get a little tilt to it when it's holding the AB.

I used the cheap bracket that came with an old airbrush, some fuel tubing and a $2 sliding clamp to make my own airbrush holder.  It works great...sturdy and can easily be relocated at will to suit your needs.  All you have to do is slide the fuel tubing over the cheap bracket's fingers (optional), and then bolt/screw the bracket to the end of the clamp.  I didn't even have to drill any holes.
