Hi chaps
Got a few months off work and I'm thinking of giving airbrushing a try. Just looking for a bit of advice for a beginner.
Been looking at a few cheap sets on ebay for around 40
I think I sort of know what to do but could do with a newbie guide.
Any advice welcome :confused:

Do it you wont regret it
What kind of airbrushing do you want to do? just bodyshells or other stuff as well?
This is a very good book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0760323992?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
covers many aspects of airbrushing
If you want I have some ebooks on weathering etc that covers airbrushing as well
drop me a PM with your email and I'll give you access to my shared drive

Was only looking to do body shells to pass the time
This was the sort of thing I was looking at (231258346191) don't knkw if it's any good for a novice.

I have that exact kit. Works ok, but I recently replaced compressor and found it made a difference that was noticeable. Ok if paint is very thin.

I went for one like this with the tank.

I bought a new airbrush around 6 months later but to be honest I cant tell much difference from the cheapo ones supplied.
Careful though, next you'll want a vinyl cutter!
