Airbrush Virgin

[tvrtuscans]

Just invested in an airbrush and compressor en route to getting back into the hobby. Two initial questions:

- Can anyone point me in the right direction for good on-line tutorials around how to use?
- What paint/brands do people recommend?

What brush did you buy?

I mainly use Tamiya and Xtracrylic. Will be using some Valejo paints on my next couple of models to see how I get on with them.

I bought the one you all keep banging on about . There was a deal with a compressor, so took the plunge!!

Glad to hear you took the plunge. Did you get it from Paul at Little Cars in the end?

FWIW I use Vallejo or Tamiya paints. Thinning is critical - best thing is to practice on scrap or an old model.

In the end, I bought direct from the manufacturer....tho I have bought some materials from Paul, so thanks for connecting us up

As always, you all are a really helpful lot. Thanks
