Many many thanks again, Bud, I'll certainly be having a great day!

I think I'll get a can of compressed air to test this out!

Get yerself a compressor and make sure it has a moisture trap & adjustable air flow regulator. Harbor Freight sells a 1/2 decent one & usually they're on sale for $40.00. It's a cheapy but, I've had mine for a couple of years & have had no problems with it.

Haave fun & enjoy your new A/B.... now stay away from the cat will ya Clown [:o)]

Nothin' wrong with waiting as long as you aren't in a big rush. That's why I said in my earrlier post that Patience is a must.. I don't know if you have Harbor Freight up there or not but, here in the US we do & every now & then they have a sale on their Hobby airbrushes for $5.00 They are single action & look like the badger 360. That's what I started off with & I still use it for coats of Future.
Now there's a saying buy cheap... buy twice.

Peace,
Eddie

I don't have one for you, sorry, but if you are going to get one, get the best you can the first time. I have a Badger 155 Anthem, awsome brush! Double action, I'd recommend this brush, but if you want it cheap go to ebay, picked it up for $50 brand new!

I was hoping someone else might have some lying around, and as I said, if you can't find one, I'll scrape barrels to get my own.

I've been planning to get an A/B for quite a while now, but thats gonna be quite a while still because I just got back from Poland and all our spending there has now translated into major debt. So now we're basically gonna be living off bread and water (not really, just a comparison), and even worse, I won't be going to my LHS anymore until further notice!!!!!! Though my mom's gonna talk it over with my dad, I'ld like to know if anyone could hold an A/B for me. If you could, I'ld greatly appreciat it. If you can't, I'll live with it, don't worry.
