I have no experience in using airbrush so I have a few questions about them: 1) What airbrush and compressor is suitable for beginners? 2) And what are the tools and accessories needed to start airbrushing? 3) How to maintain your airbrush and compressor? Thanks.

Thanks. depend on how long u want to do modeling. coz there is no such thing as compressor for beginner. if u really want to go for long term, then a good compressor is a must. for airbrush vise, u can start with basic and cheap airbrush 1st. when u thing it's not enough di, then only get a new better airbrush. the old one still can use for other purpose like surfacer or metallic color. other then airbrush and compressor, airbrush stand is important also. but u can build yr own if u don't want to spend more. paint, thinner is something essential. for airbrush, just make sure u don't drop and clean nicely and use nicely, it will not give u any problem. for compressor, most of the compressor now is oilless, means no maintenance required. just make sure it's ventilation don't block. and release the water inside moisture trap or tank (if got) from time to time.
