You're quite correct John.
Unfortuantelly I'm like this when puschasing anything, I spent what seemed like months before I got my TV
Also many thanks for all the great advice guys.

Personally I would concentrate on the airbrush, not look at the cheap ones but at least a branded entry level one, Neo or H&S Ultra

Right. I pulled the trigger on the Fengda 186, which should be arriving tomorrow.
Just need to make myself a half-decent booth now., and study up on the paints

And so welcome to the black hole that is airbrushing! Seriously though good luck!

That choice will do all you want and last for many years. Remember to drain the tank. At the end of a session release the tank pressure by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the tank. Moisture collects in the tank and if not drained can cause rust. I leave the plug out until the next airbrush session.
Enjoy it

Thanks, Jim. Good advice.

Didn't you want to take me up on my offer?

 

[Modler bob]

apologies John.....
What offer?

If you didn't know, John owns the Scale Model Shop that this forum is attached to.

Earlier in the thread he said he'd match any quote.

It won’t shut it off either, the compressor will cut out when the tank is full. Also don’t forget I would match any deal you can find.

 

[Modler bob]

Oh no, I didfn't know that TBO.
would it also have been free delivery?
I have amazon Prime.

 

[john]

would it also have been free delivery?

Yes and next day

 

[Modler bob]

Great, I'll remeber that in future John.

What paints & thinners do you recommend for the Fendga John?

 

[john]

What paints & thinners do you recommend for the Fendga

All paints will work, it's not down to the compressor, it's depending on what size needle and nozzle your airbrush has as to how much you thin them, but that can also vary from by paint brand.

 

[Modler bob]

Well, It's just arrived.
But no airbrush hose or paint's with it.
The machine itself looks OK, but not yet tested.

I'm a Dork (but you all already knew that )
I found the hose and paints on the floor, they must've fallen from the box when I opened it. Doh!!!

Done similar. Got an order of little blokes once, a box in another box surrounded with polystyrene kibbles. Took the box out for recycling, and heard something moving around. I thought I’d better check the polystyrene kibbles before discarding it…..found a few figures and thought ”that’s nice, freebies”…..turned out I’d actually ordered them and nearly thrown them away…..

Been there done that...more than once I might add, there's nothing like the feeling of embarrassment you get whilst your digging around in the bin knowing your neighbour is stood in their kitchen watching you...
