air brush

[Collyn]

I would like to paint some buildings and other things using an air brush. I have seen a testors product that has a can of compressed air with a gun that attaches to the top. Does this work, and is there any other similar product that the gun is not attached to the can?

Collyn, it would help if you can post a link to the specific airbrush you are talking about.
Is it the model you are talking about ?
The Testor Corporation

I have a very inexpensive airbrush from Badger. I think its a Badger 250 It's an extenal mix with the glass paint jar attached. I get fairly good finishes with it and I only paid 30.00 Canadian for it. I'm currently upgrading to a badger 200 (internal mix) for it's better paint atomization qualities.

You probably will dislike using the cans. A small oil-less compressor
is best. Some can be pricey, but check Walmart

I would suggest that you bypass the pressure cans and go directly to a small compressor. Read up on the various types of airbrushes and operation before you buy.
