Re: Advise for purchasing Tamiya Airbrush

Thanks for all the replies and comments thus far!

If I had unlimited funds I would definately want to get the Tamiya HG "Trigger Type" Airbrush as shown by stevenoble, unfortunately it a little to pricey for me as it cost's nearly $200 on HLJ.com vs. the HG single action costing about $75. Also, dual action seems like it would require a fair bit of skill to use whereas a single action would produce a consistant flow/output, which is easy for a beginner like myself.

My main concern is that compact compressor, how weak is 3L/min? In terms of how much painting could I do before I would have to wait for pressure to be built up and how long what it take until I could begin painting again? And do I need the "moisture trap" or any other accessory?

Thanks very much,
mgt
