Just got given a Paasche AB (4239 i think, had no box, but had everything else incluing 3 differrent tips). Can anyone tell me about this thing as I know absolutely nothing about ABs....been using rattle cans. Any tips on airbrushing?

Thanks in advance

You were given an AB? wow, thats quite a nice airbrush....my father had his for many years and took great care of it then passed it on to me and i cherished it right up until my ex stole it in the divorce... (:-)

and judging by the size and weight of one of the boxes under the xmas tree, i think there's a compressor there from the wife. I knew buying her all those watercolour supplies would pay off

She found out about that already and bought me some of my own for modelling, along with about 30 pastel sticks and 20-30 brushes. My desk runneth over.
