You can get a Badger airbrush plus a good small compressor for less. Go to a Home Depot, Walmart, or other DIY store and get a small Senco or Campell Hausfield compressor for around $100. These compressors have an airtank and are much more useful, powerful, and economical then the dedicated "hobby compressors".

I bought one dont waste your money. Go to LOWES buy a compressor for $100. comes with trap and regulator,then buy yourself a good airbru***he quick change nozzles are a pain as they clog easily even after they are thoroughly cleaned,my opinion.

You can get a badger 150
with a fine\medium and large tip shipped for $89. You can probably get a good air compressor for $70. I'll post the link in a minute. It's on the other computer.

My first airbrush was an Aztek and it always was plugging up, even when diluting the acrylic painted significantly. I was very disappointed. My next airbrush was a Badger 350 which sells for about $49.00. I finally wore that one out. I'll probably buy another Badger or Pasche

Micro-Mark, they are on the web, have good deals, but check out Wal-Mar too. I like airbrushing, but sometimes I like just the old spray can, besides you get a ton of colors.

The thing about AZteck air brushes is that the whole nozzle can be changed. Some people like it some don't. Can be easier for newbies.

Gearhead, while that's not bad, I can get a Badger airbrush & a small multi-use compressor for about $130 Canadian.
The compressor is a Campbell Hausfield compressor that can pretty much help around the house as it's powerful enough to fill a car tire & use a Brad nailer as well.
$100 Canadian @ Walmart. This I already have.
The airbrush, I can get @ my LHS any day for $30.
Just my suggestion, check out Walmart or even Target.
