I have been wanting an airbrush for a while, but don't know where to start. I was wondering if anyone could give me the names of a few good airbrushes and how much it would cost to get started using one. Thanks a million!

If you take the time, and read through the past posts in this forum, you will find all your questions already answered.

I got a Tamiya HG Superfine double action airbrush and I just love it. In Norway it costs about $160.

There are two kinds of airbrushes single action and double action. The differences between the two is that with a double action airbrush you can regulate the amount of air and paint at the same time with one finger. The single action airbrushes the air and paint are regulated separately.
Even though the double action airbrush is a bit harder to use, I would absolutely reccomend that you get a double action airbrush. If you keep it clean and take good care of it, it would last you a lifetime.

Then there is the source of air. There are many solutions. The best is to get a compressor. Sure it might be expensive (from $200 and up), but it will be cheaper in the long run.
Avoid using cans of air. My experience is that you will try to save (because the cans are expensive) the air by not cleaning the airbrush so well. When I was using cans of air, I used at least 1 can per model. And at the price of $25 a can, it got expensive fast.

This means that you should be able to get started (airbrush + compressor) for about $350.

Thanks a lot Norseman! I dont know what I want more, a car or an airbrush! I'll be getting my license soon, so I may have to wait a while until purchasing an airbrush

It was not my intention to crush your dreams of buying an airbrush.
What I tried to say, was that if you consider buying an airbrush, it probably is better to spend a few more bucks and buy a really good airbrush instead of buying a cheap one that gives you bad results. In my opinon, that is a waste of money.

Go for the car! It's easier to pick up girls when you have a car rather than trying to impress them with your airbrushing skills. :-)
I remember when I got my license... Let's just say that building models and tools for the model building hobby were not a priority at that time... :-) Drive safe!
