I've decided to take the plunge and buy an airbrush, but thought I'd ask around and see if anyone has any recommendations or otherwise. I'm after a double-action airbrush (sounds like the better option from what I've heard) and compressor.
I'm looking for something of good quality yet affordable (ok, that's fairly subjective!).
What is "affordable" is pretty subjective, but I use a Badger 150. This is a lovely airbrush, and a massive improvement over the £20 jobbie I was using before. It's very controllable, and easy to keep clean. Forget the propellant cans - they're crap - I use a cheapie compressor from Machine Mart, with a Badger water filter in the airbrush line. You MUST use braided hose when using a compressor, and this hose also seems do damp out the pulses of air (I don't have an air reservoir, but one would be nice.)
The airbrush and any spares/accessories are available from Mainly Trains, although I'm sure there's plenty of others.
Thinking about it, Machine Mart sell what looks like a Badger 150 clone, although their website won't help you find it! I have no idea what this is like, but clones are getting pretty good these days, so it might be worth a look.
