Agreed...all very good advice. I will add that you can get a Badger Basic Airbrush set at your LHS with a can of propel for under $25. And to tell you the truith...i have been painting for about 8 years...and i get lots o compliments on my work...and they all ask what kinda airbrush system i use...and i say......................... "The Badger El-Cheapo model with the Propel". Hey i look at it this way...if the thing gets gummed up...which it usually does after about 6 months of use...rather then screw around with trying to clean it...i toss it and go buy another. <br /> <br />Another good hint. Paint on a box. That way after practicing on some crap cars and old shells...you can set your model on top of the box and spray the crap outta the side of the box till you get the mist you want set just right. <br /> <br />Also...wear gloves. No matter what devise you use to hold the model while painting it...sometimes to get into the nooks and crannies you will find yourself turning the model and your arm can get into some weird positions...well after ending up with engine black and CN orange hands a few times...you get the bright idea to put gloves on LOL
