Best airbrush? Compressor?

So who makes the best thats not too expensive?????? Paasche? Badger? One thats dual action and internal mixing.

Consider the following brushes:
-Model Master Double Action Airbrush (I have the A470 Set.) The set gives you all three tips and a couple of jars. It works well and is capable of doing detailed work. The needle and tip are one unit and that makes it very easy to clean. The only problem I found with this brush is that laquer paints will eat the internal o-ring over time and cause an air leak.

-Badger 150. Another good brush, very versatile. You can shoot just about any type of paint through it without harming the internal components.

-Tamiya HG Airbrush. This dual action brush is great. It's gravity fed and is capable of doing awsome detail work. I just started working with it so I don't know how it hold up over time.

Definitely agree with you Greg...the Model Master/Aztec line is awesome...no big needles to roll off the bench, I originally began with the 320 and now use the 470 as well, there's 8 diffeent available tips and its very low maintenance...as far as a compressor, work within your budget but make sure you get a regulator with water trap and a sufficient size air tank as well so the thing isn't cycling on/off all the time. Good luck!

Thanks yall. I think I'm gonna get the Model Masters one, and since i'm only using lexan paint i'm sure the o-ring wont ruin.
