yeah i also have the testors airbrush kit that uses the aerosol propellant for air.....it's pretty much a complete waste of money. you're really better off getting some tamiya spray cans.
aero528, does the airbrush you got use an air compressor or the aerosol stuff?

i'm going to assume you're talking about my airbrush and the dixieart site. If not I don't have a link to the testors or whatever brush the other person purchased.
The HP-BCS Pictured here is the brush i got: http://www.dixieart.com/Eclipse.html
The compressor i got is the Sprint Jet one pictured here: http://www.dixieart.com/Iwata_Studio...sors_Main.html
like i said before, if i was going to buy a compressor again I would go ahead and buy the smart jet because for the relatively small cost it's worth it.
hope that helps

no it is not that expansive! it uses somthing called Propel. i have a couple extra cans around the house. the aircompressor costs around $200 and you can add it to any of their airbrushes.
sorry i cant find a link for the airbrush, but i would recomend getting the michels one instead of the testers one(just my opion)

yeah i really wouldn't doubt that it's better than the testors. the testors one is plastic and just plain crappy. Their "Aztec" line is what is a step up kind of intermediate airbrush products. I've heard decent things.

Update:
I started the clear coat and since i had been up for like 2 days i forgot to put the thinner in with the lacquer....DOH! So I'm stripping some of the parts and repainting them. I ran out of the paint as well so i just ordered it and more clear finish.......ARG!
