Hey, i would like some advice.
I have found an airbrush which seems quite good, it is called an Azteck air brush set, is it worth biding for (ebay)?

I used an Aztec before, and it was pretty good. Easy to clean, but i never got really familiar with it. A bit to "plastic like" for my taste.

I wouldn't. I used an aztek (then move up to badger 155 now use that along with hp-bcs) and there is no comparison. The 155 and hp-bcs are both much much better than the aztek. However, the aztek did serve me well as a beginner brush so if you want it, go for it!

Sam,

Aztek is a good airbrush (talking from my experience)..while some of us may stay away from this, but some prefer to used it just like me. I've been using Aztek for years. although i keep my tamiya SF as second airbrush...

I use 2 Aztek airbrushes and they are quite good for what i need to paint.

For the price of the Aztek airbrush on Ebay, very good in second hand but sometime is overbidding, it is better to compare the price before bidding, here is a link to an airbrush web shop:

Hope that helps
