I'm really getting into it so it's time to invest.
There's so much offered on the web that I best turn to the experienced painters while looking for a new airbrush.
I want to use it for the big parts but also for figure painting so... what is a good (and affordable) airbrush for the job.

i think the best way is say your budget,50-100-150-200..."affordable" is something pretty personal,what is affordable for you maybe is to much for me!

you already have one AB?...what model?...

I now have a starterskit from Revell so not too good.
Affordable would be n the 200 euro range.

I fall in love with the Harder & Steenbeck,very well made german AB, and with that budget you can buy the Evolution Silverline 2 in 1
nozzle sets 0.2 mm & 0.4 mm
cups 2 ml & 5 ml
paint volume control in the back
self centered nozle
PTFE seals

you have in 1 AB the set up for detail with the 0.2 and large area end primer with the 0.4.

sounds good, I'll go and get me the info !
Thanks.

The Iwata Eclipse HP-CS is an all rounder which is well within your budget and easier to master for beginners and intermediates. Always good quality and last a long time.

I only use AB for 1/35 figures to apply the base coat, unless you are doing bigger scale figures 1/16 or 1/9 when AB can be used more.

The H&S seems to be a good one indeed.
There are 0.15, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 nozzles.
I want to use it for vehicles ànd for figure painting.
Which nozzles schould I choose ?
Furthermore I need a compressor, preferrably not too big.

For me 0.2-0.4 is a good start,not to big and not to small after if you see you need something bigger or smaller you can always buy them they are not super expensive

Agree, the H&S with 0.2 and 0.4 is a good choice.

As for the compressor, depends again on your budget and then if you care about noise or not.

In any case, better look for one with a tank.

For the compressor i have something similar to the AS186 (exist many models of this comperessor under mani different brand and name) but with cooling fan and i am very happy,very small and super quiet,powerful enough for any Airbrush ant the tank avoid the pulsing and the compressor is not always running
