If you are on Facebook then dan tearle is one of the guys to speak to.

He does amazing things with an airbrush.

He’s on here but only posts when one of us is being rude about echo base.

I have a Deag Falcon too that I finished about a year ago now, all I used for mine was a cheapo mini airbrush compressor, you don't really need anything fancy or expensive and you can get amazing results with it even for a rank beginner like me. Something like this is similar to what I have...

As for the actual airbrush gun itself, I went through about 10 of them during the entire build they just kept getting clogged up too much to the point where it was un-cleanable and would block the spray or spit paint, I don't know if that was because I wasn't cleaning them properly or if they were just cheap shite though.

Used to do a bit of airbrushing myself a few years back... originally had one of the cheaper Badger kits, and a tiny compressor.. worked very well, but found the fine adjustments weren't that great. Luckily as I was only painting up Fett lids, they were great for the coverage.

Ended up with a Iwata Neo2 and bought a nice 50ltr compressor through work.. perfect for all round stuff... very controllable too.

Will be firing it up again for weathering my Deag R2.
