The airbrush I use is from Everything Airbrush, a Uk company.

I am using the Ab-183 kit which I bought quite a while ago, and it was a really fantastic beginners airbrush. Very solid and sturdy, easy to clean and maintain, and came with 3 needle sizes so I can basecoat and detail with the one kit They also sell named brands like Badger, but I really can't fault their own ones.

They are seriously worth the cash as long as you make sure you don't skimp and buy something you will have to replace in 6 months. The speed you can base layer and get down some really nice light effects is crazy. A lot of the time for tabletop now I airbrush on the basic colours ( see my firedragons ) then the only brush work is detailing and a little highlighting.

You can get excellent results in half the time it would take if you were using a brush

[link] is exactly what I have. You want to make sure whatever you are getting has an airtank and trap so you don't get stutters in the airsupply or moisture issues.

This little guy is very good and not too pricy, one of my cats turned it on overnight only recently after it arrived and it didin't break despite being on with no hose for 12 hours, so that can only be a bonus
