Does anyone know of any in-expensive, good quality airbrushes?

Aaron --

I've got two Badger airbrushes, both of which were relatively inexpensive (one was $49, one was $69) and both do a great job.

Take a look at Badger's new Model 200 single-action. It's gotten great reviews and is pretty cheap.

Aaron, I've used a Badger model 200 for 15 years and have always gotten great results.It is simple to use and clean,reliable,and very sturdy.More importantly,a clean supply of air is also needed. I use a small compressor to fill a storage tank,(salvaged from a tractor-trailer),feeding an inline air dryer and pressure regulator.At 15-35psi to the airbrush,a tank of air will last for at least a half-hour before refilling to 60psi.A commercial storage tank filled at a gas station will hold a higher pressure and last longer,(my compressor won't go that high but does OK for me).Be careful and experiment until you find something that works best for you.Good luck and good modeling! DT,Pa.

I have used the Badger airbrushes for about 15 years. They are great. The models mentioned above work well and are easy to use.
