I am also into RC cars and I subscribe to Radio Control Car Action (RCCA). When I saw this post, I remedered back to an acticle about airbrushes. Luckily, I keep all the old issues, so I am looking at it while I write this. <br /> <br />The system I am looking at is the Tamiya Spray-Works kit (part no, 74501). RCCA says that the retail price is $145, but you can probably find it for less on the internet. It comes with an airbrush, paint cup, hose, jar for mixing paint, fine and wide tips, and a portable compressor. It has a quad-bellow design so it pumps air smoothly. It is a basic system, so I would say that it is good for beginners. The downside is that the included airbrush is not top of the line, and you need a 7.2 Volt battery and charger to power it. You can probably find a low-end battery (thats all you need) and 2-hour wall charger for less than $50 on the internet. <br /> <br />You can see the kit and Tamiy'a other airbrushes at http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/tools/airbrushes.html. Unfortunatly, they don't supply any info about the brushes that I can find. You can look for other info on the internet, or you can buy a back issue of the January 2001 issue for $5 at http://www.rccaraction.com/common/asp/issues/echoissue.asp?issueID=R011. It's the article listed under "Product Probe."
