| i have both a small airbrush, ( an old rotring unit ) and a larger spray gun ( a detail gun - for touch up spraying and spraying car panels), the detail gun can do fine work and is ideal for spraying medium or larger items such as my model boat hulls and similar, anything bigger than a match box i would use my detail gun rather than the airbrush, the finish is better the application smoother and the gun is easier to set up and clean, dont be put off buying a small panel or detail gun - the type used on cars, with practice you can use these to spray very small items and with fine control you can create the blended colours required for camouflage paint effects, also the detail guns are great for recreating effects such as a spark erroded finish or non slip deck finish...
the cost of these detail guns vary from £40 to £200- again buy the best you can afford... but if you are building anything slighlty larger then these guns need to be considered... |
