this any good?

[Maxx man]

Im looking to get a airbrush and mini compressor and was wondering if this was any good http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=000457165&I=LXDEF4&P=K

its gunna be a first airbrush for me so it doesnt need to be uber amazing and I want cheap if possible if I shouldnt get this what would be a good one?

[Daveo]

I don't know about the air brush, but you will hate the compressor. I have one and it will not keep a constant presure, It starts high then peters out in seconds.

[roadrunnr43]

if you dont mind masking everything, a single action brush is fine. if you want fine lines, a dual action brush is the only way to go.

[Maxx man]

alright then this is off the list... anybody have suggestions?

[roadrunnr43]

you cant go wrong with a Paasche.

[Maxx man]

I have no idea were to look so a link would be great

[roadrunnr43]

yeah sure. tower has a few. I got one like this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDD37&P=SM in a trade, but it didnt come with the air hose so i havent been able to test it.

the entire tower selection. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0091P?&P=SM&C=RJA&V=PAS

[Maxx man]

what about this one? I kinda want a double action... I really hate masking lots and lots of stuph http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDD43&P=SM

and how bout this comressor? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXZH37&P=7

[roadrunnr43]

Don't shop airbrsuhes at the hobby sites.... go to a painting site for the best deals

if you've never owned an air brush before maybe see how much a badger 350 is going for these days. its a single action siphon feed. i bought one about 15 years ago (?). got everything but paint and compressor for like 30 bucks. painted a lot of model cars, slot cars and a few rc car body's with it. got some good paint jobs. it worked out well for honing my skills and learning basic techniques before moving on to something better (and a lot more expensive)

[Maxx man]

thanks guys but I really want something I wont need to upgrade soon... I kinda want something I'll never need to replace

and actually tower has a bettery price for the brush I want

and the compressor is $10 cheaper too plus I trust tower and I get free shiping over $150

[Lyric]

i thing you should up grade the slash with some new baterries

[Maxx man]

why? Ive got LIPO's:D

[DaveC]

You just missed....I had a Paasche VL set for sale for $45 shipped, and it's like new. It's mailing to it's new owner this week :(

[Maxx man]

darn... my bad didnt see it:(

Saw that Dave, was on the verge of PM'ing you. Dropped mine on the floor while cleaning it and broke it beyond repair :( My compressor (Testors Blue Ice) did not have enough pressure to work with it though. Airbrushing in the Old School shop has not been going well.
