[quote user="apartment railer"]I want to know how important a tank is for your comp. Or is it needed at all for small scale work. I hear single action is better then dual. What is the difference.[/quote]I own a Porter-Cable "pancake" style compressor. It's oiless AND noisy, but does a good job of shooting brads and finishing nails in my woodshop. For airbrushing, I selected a tankless compressor. It's whisper quiet, and though I do quite a lot of airbrushing, it performs superbly. During the week, I live out of an apartment, where I do all of my airbrushing. I wouldn't even think of using the Porter-Cable in this setting - way too much noise.A single-action airbrush may do everything you'll ever need. I used one for years, and only recently purchased a dual-action airbrush. In point of fact, a dual-action model will give you somewhat more control, but at the price of a stiffer learning curve.Lynda
