I have seen on eBay, a airbrush kit, with compressor (and other accessories) by IDA Tool...are they any good...?
mike i'm sorry to say i've never heard of that company. believe me when i say with airbrushes you get what you pay for. if it's cheap, you're not going to get the results you want. i use a paasche vl and love it, many others use a testors aztec, not sure which#. as for a compressor it all depends on your needs. do you need one for occasional use or heavy use? a paasche d500 is great for just small occasional use and for more you might want to check into something with a tank on it.there is a company that usully has stuff on ebay called puma air products that has some real good compressors that are reasonable and reliable too. not sure if i answered your question or not and maybe someone else can share there experience also.
I use a Paasche H and HS triple action, with a Cambell Hausfeld compressor. And as it was said prior to my post, the airbrush you use and its reliablility depends on what you spend! The better airbrushes cost more....
It's not just the air brush itself, but a few additional items. The compressor. An in line moisture trap and a filter. The right air pressure. PRACTICE. The old saying was "Practice makes perfect." I have used a Badger 200-1L for many, many years. It's done all I have ever desired. I have been complimented many times on the results. And even been asked to paint for others. BoxcabE50
not sure either on the airbrush on e-bay as well. Stopped by one of the local hobby stores here and got a Paasche dual action airbrush. Made sure that it had a metal tip from what I have heard from other posts on brushes... just need to run the airline from the shed to the house to hook it up.. bought some canned air to practice with... am looking forward to using this on my layout...
