For airbrushing, Gravity Feed is the only way too go.
Also because 90% of the airbrushing is tight detail work, you need a compressor with a tank. That will stop spitting.

If you buy the equipment right to start it will last you for age's.

hi matt i already have this in my workshop http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ranger-54-oil-free-air-compressor couple of years older and maybe touch larger would just need a air line to fit the airbrush and a water trap and paints and stuff was going to get from rcs

Yes, that is correct mate. It would make sense putting your money towards a better brush and/or paints etc if you already have a comp.

Here is a nice starter pack I offer http://www.rcsgraphicworx.com/shop.php?more=140 You would just need a hose.

Feel free to get in touch should you have any questions.

Just to throw my 2p in, im currently using a C5 'brush from Jon, and have been for a couple of months. Really cant fault it at all, especially for the value. Absolutely superb!
