Thank you.

You might want to double check on that, over here in the U.S. they now only offer a 2 or 3 year guarantee. The reason being they were having to replace so many.
I know a lot of people swear by their Aztec, but I had a 470 and didn't like it at all. I now have a couple of Iwata AB's that I swear by . Here is a link to some Iwata reviews:

I have the Aztek 4709 set and I am happy with it. It seems like the classic debate-- some people swear by them (azteks) other people don't like them. I am happy with the results I get airbrushing with my aztek, its the only AB I have used so I cannot say if there are better ones IMO. Just read some reviews, look at how much you can spend and go from there!

I have an old Testors AB that quit on me about a year ago. I sent it to them to see if they could fix it. They said they would just send a new one for nothing. It got lost in the mail so they sent me another one, no questions asked. They have killer customer service...

My first AB was a Badger 150. I just couldn't get on with it at all and thought I'd never be able to get any fine lines with an AB. It was also a b r to clean.

I got an Aztec 470 off ebay, and am completely delighted with it. I find it much easier to useall round, especially when trying to get a fine line. It's also easy to clean.

I've just flogged the badger on ebay - couldn't see myself ever going back to it!
