Been looking at getting an airbrush set up but not sure what in need. Have anyone got any recommendations or can point me in right direction.
Cheers

What kind of painting are you planning on doing? If its really fine detail then a more expensive pump and airbrush would be worth while, but I get by with the cheap Chinese stuff off of ebay for most tasks.

Not sure where you're at, but I use a Harbour Freight compressor and airbrush. Really works great, and the compressor is whisper quiet.

Don't forget the compressor, A small one will be worse than useless but the last thing you need is an industrial tank,
There is plenty of good advice in the TIPS & TRICKS (Painting & Weathering ) section of the Forum.

Have a look at sparmax . I've been very happy with my 610 compressor and 0,4 AB from sparmax
I use ammo/Ak/tamiya

The ones I’ve been looking at are gravity fed with 0.3 tip on eBay they range from £39 - £55 that’s small tank and sprayer

Hey I have one of theirs too! Mines about 2008 vintage, came with a dual action cheapo brush that I still haven't managed to kill yet.
It looks just like the ebay cheapo one that I bought afterwards, so I suspect that they are all made in the same factory in China...

Sadly Harbour Freight doesn't exist in the UK.

I'll go for the harbor freight compressor, got one myself, but when it comes to airbrushes there's only one word you need to know ... IWATA. Yeah, they cost more, but you'll only buy it once and it will last a lifetime (with a bit of proper care, of course).

I usually use my Paasche VL 3 for fine detail work but also have a pair of the Harbor Freight double action air brush’s for more general spraying,those along with a compressor with a 3 gallon tank.
Remember to have a moisture trap attached. I’d shy away from those compressors w/o tanks as the tank type give a smoother air flow without pulsing. Bit pricey but well worth it in the long run.

I've used the Badger 200 air brush since it first appeared and more recently bought a Floureon compressor with built in tank, moisture trap and fully adjustable pressure & gauge. Its cheap, quiet, simple and very effective.

If you can't afford a compressive then l'd recommend a large truck wheel/tyre and a valve adaptor. Inflate the tyre to the pressure you want and that large reservoir will give you lots of smooth air supply. Far cheaper than air cans!
