Hey there fellow forum user biggrin.gif . Sorry if this is in the wrong section sweat.gif

Was wondering which airbrush kit to get hmm.gif as I'm just getting into airbrushing. I have a budget around 300-400ish and a not too loud and small one as I live in an apartment. Going to use it for scale models .Thanks biggrin.gif

Sparmax 0.3D is a decent value airbrush.

can't help you with compressor. as they are all noisy.

quiet way is use compressed air cans they are quiet but expensive.

I use TAMIYA SPRAY-WORK compressor for all my models, very small, portable and great for home. The noisy is acceptable to be used in rooms, not as noisy as big tanked compressor.
