QUOTE(ChickenWorm @ Oct 13 2005, 12:39 AM) A level 3 airbrush cost from 2000 - 3500? Does that include the compressor? Is there a level 1 set? I've never owned or even used an airbrush before so venturing so much money as a beginner would be so risky. Is there anything including the compressor that is really cheap? i think so.. because there's another model there that sell for MUC-MUCh cheaper but the picture only show the spray-gun, hose and 1 compressed air...Kuman : The Tamiya airbrush, does it come with a compressor?  so basically this would be a complete set with compressor.. and yes,,, its best suited for modeller.... now i paint my model using the normal ANCHOR(RM5.50)/BOSNY(RM7)/TAMIYA (RM21) aerosol spray paint its a pain... to make it look nice.. so far the result are less 20% satisfactory... now thinking of getting the airbrush... last time got one fellow LYN forumer wanted to sell his airbrush set complete with paint & everything very cheap.... but i missed it..  anyway.. kuman |

QUOTE(ChickenWorm @ Oct 13 2005, 05:42 PM) Thanks for the info Cyprid Dark and Kuman. fuh... I'm also into modelling which is why I'm looking into airbrush. Hand painting sometimes couldn't give me the satisfaction that I wanted. Mostly I couldn't get the smooth surface by using hand painted brush. There was a thread regarding something else but one of the poster did mention that he wanted to sell his airbrush set for RM800+ if I'm not mistaken. Many thanks once again.  which thread would that be? Anime Modelling thread... ChickenWorm.. if you happen to find a good deal on it let me know also... and maybe you can post something in our Suggestion Forum under the Modelling and Hobby thread.. since we're trying to get a subforum mainly for modelling and Hobby stuff.. on The Other note: what's the different between a single action and double action gun? better control? ahh and is the modelling airbrush different from the one used by Nitro design (interms of functionality because the price i think canno compare la... ) thanks.. kuman |

 i'm re-BUMP-ing this thread.. since i still have a couple of questions... yesterday i was window shopping-ing and go visit this shop Hobby Acme... i asked about the airbrush set... she pointed to me this SprayWork model from Tamiya selling for RM580 Details on the product... although the handpiece does look not so comfortable.. she also show me this Tamiya handpiece which look very comfortable to hold.. but the price is RM640  is this a good beginners set? or i might as well just spend another RM1500 and get a better set? i also saw this complete set from Gunze Sanyo called... PS-301 Mr. LINEAR COMPRESSOR L5/AIR BRUSH SET QUOTE CONTENTS: 1:Mr.LINEAR COMPRESSOR L5 2:AIR BRUSH PRO-CON BOY WA DOUBLE ACTION 3:Mr.AIRHOSE PS(N) STRAIGHT 4:Mr.AIR REGULATOR/Mr.STAND 5:Mr.AIRHOSE PS(N) SPIRAL 6:Mr.JOINT 1 7:Mr.JOINT 3 btw i got the spec above from this site... which includes the whole accessory for this product.. Gunze Products basically i'm going to use it for model airbrushing.... and why do we need the Regulator and the Moisture trap? i didnt see the above set includes the Moisture trap.. thanks in advance for the input.. kuman ps:refering to the below pics... so the item in the center is the Regulator?

QUOTE(Cyprid Dark @ Nov 10 2005, 08:40 PM) The level is mean the size & how much air pressure & colour is suitable to your airbrush. ohh.. compressor also got level ones kaa... so what level is suitable for model airbrushing? level 1?Like mine,level 3 compressor cant go more than 50psi because I have damaged is once when I want to spray my PC casing.It also make my needle tip damaged badly because it cannot handle more than 50psi. ahh nice comparison of the handpiece there.. i guess the RM640 is the HG double action one la kot.. hmmm... i'm still looking and open for suggestion.. maybe a trip to KL would be worth while when i'm ready to get one.. i dont think in Penang the somewhere i can get the set etc easily.. kuman |

they ship for the US right? hmm.
maybe the shipping itself would cost a bomb... i'm also making comparison with the online Japanese shop as well... maybe their shipping would be cheaper.. will check.. kuman |
