Affordable airbrush set? You can try in National Bookstore branches for Badger brands and clones.

These are single action bottom-feed type, by the way. Around P1895 IIRC. The air regulator/water trap is available in Ace Hardware or Handyman. Too bad I already sold one of my compressors. Also, my other cheap airbrush is already used.

kahit used as long as it works. . . since am a newbie that would be fine with me, so are you going to sell it? still can't find my big bro's airbrush set. . . argh. . . i think kelangan kong bulabugin bahay ng lola ko, baka andun. . .

anong coompressor yung na i benta nyo?

got compressor sa bahay yung malaki, 60 to 80 psi max ata yung tanke nun, that's why i need a regulator, around 17 psi lang rin pala max pressue for airbrushing pala eh. . .

how much naman po for that air regulator? thanks in advance. . .

so National bookstore is a good place to buy an airbrush? do they also sell a compressor?

[V2]

lil's hobby square is a good place to buy an ab - starting with this:
tamiya.com/english/products/list/airbrush/kit74501.htm

A good AB and Compressor set-up (brand new) would easily burn a P10K hole in your wallet. ":)_ Check-out the wide selection of Badger ABs in the hardware at the top floor of Edsa Shagri-La Mall in crossing. Or the Gunze Sangyo ABs at STC branches.

Cheapest alternative would be the Tamiya Spray-Work set in the link above provided by V2. Id estimate it at around 6-7K tops.

So unless you are serious with the hobby or have a lot of money to spare i suggest you really do think about it before you make a purchase.


goodluck! ":)_

is there any disadvantage to getting a tamiya compressor? would it hinder me in making my gundam look more appealing?

[V2]

dude, it all depends on the imagination, ingeniuity, persistence, patience and skills if you really want to make your kits look more appealing than the rest.

[delta408]

then a tamiya compressor and airbrush it is. i guess since it has plastic parts, i have to be careful to not overwork it so the heat will not melt the plastic. ;D

[oldskul]

hi guys, newbie question here- what is the best cleaning solution to clean your airbrush with after using it?

say for example you've use enamel paint like tamiya, or Mr. Color (synthetic lacquer) from gunze.

tnx in advance
