>>6216126>Is an airbrush really worth the $2-300? I'm just getting into painting, and don't know if I'm going to be doing anything like weathering or even serious amounts of painting, and it really just doesn't seem to be worth the investment. Is it really that much better than hand painting with a brush?$300 is a good estimate of the cost of the airbrush, compressor, paints, mixing tools, cleaning tools, respirator, painting tools (masking, holding, etc), and maybe even a booth.
it's worth it if you want to enjoy airbrushing. It's not necessary if you want to enjoy an MD or FAG. It can maximize your enjoyment of a gundam.
pick up airbrushing if you want to pick up airbrushing. not because you want to pick up gundam/models/whatever.
