Any thoughts? I'm an almost complete novice so any guidance appreciated!

Same manufacturer as mine, just a slightly different model. The compressor looks almost identical, and the one I have is fantastic, no problems at all. Airbrush is good too - the one I use has a scew lock to hold the paint bottle on, and protudes to the side of the brush, and not underneath. I think that a screw lock is slightly more secure than the simple slide in version. nevertheless, they are good airbrushes, do everything i need them to. One gripe is that over time they seem to loose their ability to do very fine lines.

For that price, i would go for it. Mine was £150+ two years a go, so £70 is rather good.


Hope this helps

In fact the airbrush on the left of the picture IS the airbrush i have, just with a paint cup instead of a pot.

i bought the same compressor and airbrush (one on the left) from www.airbrush-pro.co.uk just before Christmas and i think its excellent although i have only used it once so far (newbie airbrush user). Cost me about the same so looks like a decent deal

I've got the same AB on the left as well, and my compressor is pretty much the same, though mine doesn't have the pressure regulator. I'm on my second AB now, but that was more due to not maintaining the first properly. Make sure to clean it out thoroughly after use and I'm sure you'll have no problems with it. Another good thing is that spares are readily avaialble from here, which is ideal for replacing nozzles and needles when they've had it.

As for the compressor, mine has a tendency to spurt water out if used for extended periods as the compressor warms up. This is probably due to it being so cold in my workshop and condensation building up in the airline, but thought I'd point it out.

Yup, bought the same set about 2 years ago now - seems to be good!

Thanks again everyone - just bought it. All I need to learn now is how to use it!
