What airbrush to buy

Hi Shawn, I have used the Model H for more years than I care to remember. It has been trouble free as long as its kept clean just like any other airbrush. Unless you want to do artistic work too such as art work or shading stay away from the double action model VL...its just overkill for model work.
The H Model is a single action brush that comes with color cups and jars and fine, medium and coarse tips....and a braided hose.
Its a tried and true design as it was designed back in the early 1900's and has held up over the years....IMHO for model work it can't be beat.....Plus it's not expensive...I have seen them on sale at times for under $60......Check with the mailorder or online discounters.....Keep it clean and you'll never have to buy another one!!
I've had them all and always come back to the H Model.

Get the Badger 360 Universal. It is a double action internal mix airbrush that can be used with siphone feed bottles or a rotating gravity feed paint cup. It just doesn't get any better than this. Go to thier site to check it out.

I just got this airbrush given to me for my B-day yesterday....
So, now that I have it, how do I use it???? Also... I saw this statement and now I wonder if I have something that I shouldn't??? Can I make this work?
I played around a bit with it yesterday and discovered I am going to need a lot of practice with it before I really know what I'm doing....
Any good hints, tips, paint tips, etc....????
I'll bet if you did a Google search you would fine a few sites that would provide some "how to's" and possibly a tutorial.
I bought a brush years ago that was on sale, before MRR was a twinkle in my eye, an like you, I haven't any experience in using it. someday, maybe I'll learn how.
