My good Badger is in UK so at the mo, I'm forced to use rattle cans and the basic cheapy Humbrol starters air brush...sucks....and blows and thats about it. So as next best...what is the cheapest "good" dual action job I could buy.? And it would be canned air driven....(even here in hot Riyadh they get the freezies after a short while). Thanks Peter :-)

Haveing been to KSA a few times (thanks to the U.S. Militart), I remember having the same problems you are having. I would recomend the following things to help. 1. Get another Badger (like a 200)...easy to use and works well even in the dirt. 2. Get the tire adapter that goes to the cans you are using and go find an old tire (cars used to be laying around the roadside all the time, so a little tire should be easy. After that its a matter of finding an air source every so often to recharge. Good luck.

Get an Iwata Revolution. I think the price is very good for a first rate airbrush. You will not be dissapointed with this and it is built to last, no plastic, no flimsy parts. Nothing negative about it that comes to mind.

I can't recall as it has been well over a year. I bought it from a large supplier here in the States and it was about the same price as a badger brush. May have been a sale.
I think it would be a great first brush for anyone serious about the hobby. Iwata is now my brand of choice. Mostly because of the value. These are well built and very elegent in their design.
