I'm also just learning how to use an Airbrush after returing to modelling after a lot of years away.

I have bought a book called Airbrushing and finishing scale models by Brett Green (its available from Amazon), which i think is a newly published book. it covers getting started and various technniques.

it has a large section on aviation and armour, but includes other types of models including cars.

hope this helps

cheers

Hi lads
There are courses available around £100 a day it might be worth trying any local custom car painters they might be able to help also how about local night school art courses there might be something there
But as been posted its all about practice

Hello

There are some Testors vids > here < and some are on airbrushing. Not completely beginners but might help. These can be downloaded as well. There were some others on YouTube, but not sure if they are still there.

I learned by getting some paper, some Plasticard ( or similar ) and started messing around. Then a few simple models in single colours. The some more complicated...............etc

Cheers
