Airbrush Advice needed

[aussietruckerguy]

Hi all,
Im wondering what Airbrushes you all use. Im looking at an Iwata brush. I want to paint both freehand graphics with games workshop, and flames of war too. But maybe another brush for the main paint to lay down the base coat. I was looking at a starter kit with a gravity feed twin action. Also im right handed,

thanks
Andrew

Has anyone got a airbrush kit off Amazon? I'm looking at a kit 3 guns and compressor? What should I look for in my first set?

I got 2 Iwata's and love them they seem to be pretty good airbrushes

Iwata are good, but they are overpriced for what they are.

I've gone through a few airbrushes over the years, started with a Paasche suction feed, but ddidnt like it.
Switched to a Tamiya HG superfine which was great. Fine tipped, screw adjustment for the trigger. But, couldnt change the tips of cup at all.

I looked at getting an Iwata, but they are over priced.

I ended up getting an Infinity by Harder and Steenbeck.
Infinity here

Has trigger tension adjustment, click to set trigger position, replaceable cups, can swap the needles/tips etc, and i love it. got it from here.

I cant recommend it enough.

I don't have any experience with the Infinity airbrushes. I have been using various Iwata brushes and compressors over the last 20 years and can attest they are not overpriced. That's not to say there aren't comparable products that are a good value. All depends on what you need and how much you'll put it to use. I use mine at least once a month so I can justify the extra expense. The biggest difference I saw in the Paasche and Badger brushes I had were that they were more difficult to take apart to clean. The Iwata is really simple to disassemble.

Oh i'm not denying the quality of Iwata's, i have used a couple and they are very nice, and you do certainly get what you pay for.
When i was looking for a new one Iwata was the top of my list . But i read some recommendations on the Harder & Steenbeck and it looked like i'd get more for my money.

I dont regret the decision at all. The first time i used it it just felt awesome.
