yep, i finally got an airbrush :D
im think this is the best place in the forum to post it
this is the little begger:

its a dual action airbrush from clarke, spray pattern adjustable from 1/32" to 1½" and i have also purchased a couple of the aerosols. if i get good at this airbrushing lark, and if i can find enough uses for it i will buy a compessor.
i have tested it (just in case it didnt work ) with revell enamels. thinned down roughly 1:2 (thinner:enamel). it works just fine...only i need to work out how to adjust the pressure because it was way too high.
here is my first shot at it. i have sprayed the underside of a die cast porsche 911 hood/trunk thingy. i did not fill it with much paint, so it ran out just after i finished this job. i know the paint has been layed down way too thick, and there are a tonn of blemishes because i couldnt be bothered to clean the part before. i dont think it is too bad for a quick practise. at least i didnt get any runs or sags .....besides, its a crappy die-cast car that iv already decided will be my ''learning to airbrush car'' so i dont care if it comes out crap. its the lotus and the enzo model kits that i really care about.

anyway, to finish, i must say that an airbrush is amazing. i have only sprayed one part, but already i can tell its going to help my work infinitely. as soon as i get some acrylics i will be airbrushing everything i can get my hands on:evil:
