air brush kit advice

[dave]

There are several versions of the AS186 kit around. Go for a version with the tank on the compressor, echoing everyone else I have had mine two years and it works fine. The cheap airbrush that came with it was OK, but I replaced it with the Iwata Neo after a bit and that is much better. Some time soon I will upgrade again to a better brush but that is me planning to treat myself.

The problem with the cheap brushes if they work they're fine, but they can be very temperamental due to poor build quality which can make life difficult for a newcomer as you end up trying to work out if it is you or the brush.

Laurie is right, buy the best you can afford. A compressor with a tank as has been said an AS186 is a good choice mine is still going strong 3 years down the line. It's a false economy buying a cheap airbrush as they don't preform very well and this will only lead to frustration on your part. The Iawata Neo is a good starting point and a quality piece of kit. It will last for years and spares are readily available. John sells the starter Neo CN AB for just £42. I hope this helps
