As for your query, we have had a few topics in the past in this section and I'm sure the rest of the gang will be along to offer their advice as well. Perhaps you can start off with this post.

Airbrush & Compressor Advice

Plus the Society (SFTPMS) which maintains this forum and the website runs workshops on airbrushing from time to time.

thanks beachbum will do that.... :D

I have a spare brand new Taiwan made airbrush, vacuum suction type, not gravity feed. You can PM me if you are interested.

For compressor, erm.... what do you mean by "commercial type"? For modeling, the compressors are usually small commercial type compressor (not air pumps), giving about 30 ~ 40 psi. For modelling, I usually use 20 PSI for general application. I suggest you get that type with the compressed-air-storage-tank for smoother airflow.

The artist type comes with a case look like a larger shoe box. Those will cost you easily RM1000. Industrial type is not suitable. It's larger, it shakes when operate, and super noisy. It'll give you up to 10 bar... which I think will make your airbrush flying around and spill all your paints.
