Beginner Airbrush.

Hi again all!

Sorry for the looong delay in replying back, was a super busy year for me. Everything is finally settling down, so i can focus on modelling again. Thank you all for your sound advise! I'm going to take a look at everything ya'll have said, and find what works best for me.

Thanks again and God Bless!

It's that time of year again and Badger are having a 56th birthday sale, so their airbrushes are, you guessed it $56.00.

Hey Phil thanks for posting the link. I own an Anthem 155, a Velocity and a 40+year old 150 that runs tops but at this price I have to grab a Sotar Slim. Just placed the order for one.

EDIT: Before placing the order I called to verify the prices were still good. The lady said the sale ran up to January 31st but the offer page was still active and said once they shut it down the prices go back to normal.

To add a little more to the responses...

I first started airbrushing with a cheap Master Airbrush set. It included the G-22 airbrush and the C16-B compressor for roughly $50 USD. I really wanted to go cheap. The airbrush is ok, as long as you don't take it apart! The build quality is questionable and it is a cheap knock-off of the Iwata airbrush. It works fine for priming and base coats.  The compressor is awful and made airbrushing an absolute pain for me. I thought the issue was my airbrush and I purchased a Paasche TG-3F. I still had trouble painting with the new brush and soon realized that the issue was my compressor. I then bought the TC-40T compressor with its awesome 2 liter tank from Master Airbrush. It blew me away and greatly elevated my ability to work with and control the airbrush. I was able to actually regulate pressure and harness the full potential of the Paasche brush. I hope that my story could serve as some help. I will have links to the Airbrush and compressor below, they have done me very well.

That sounds good jents! I just picked up a like new knock off of the basic badger from my modelling brother, he upgraded to a paasche (I don't know the model), and was looking to get rid of the one. I think 20 bucks ain't bad for a knock off, at the moment anyway ;). I'll se how it goes, maybe it'll work out ok.
