Has anyone tried the Tamiya Basic Airbrush and Compressor set (model #74520, single action)? I read EVERYWHERE that airbrushing is THE way to go - but I'm completely new to it, and on a limited budget. The Tamiya airbrush-compressor set's price is VERY attractive here (only PHP 800 - US$14.50 - last I checked) but I haven't found any reviews whatsoever on the Internet. Information about it is also hard to find - I don't even know if it's internal or external mix! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yo, Blank:

I've used the Tamiya Spray works for over 15 years and it still works for me.

The compressor is light and portable. You can take it anywhere. While the manual may tell you to use a battery (the same used to power RC cars), you can also use a suitable AC adapter for it.

The srpay gun is a beauty. It's easy to use and clean. Just be careful not to break the screw that holds the balance weight in the rear.

Do not immerse the rubber parts in lacqer thinner.

I've used all kinds of paints in it and I tell you, it will not fail you so as long as you mix and thin your paints properly.

BTW, it's a single action and the are often external mix airbrushes. It's a gravity feed and I prefer this over the bottom feed system of Badger.
