Airbrush set? recommendations?

el dude · 2012-12-01 03:50:25

Thinking of a complete set, compressor, paint guns etc. Know next to nothing myself, I'm buying it as a gift. Trying to spend €150~, which is probably very ambitious but I'm not after anything top of the line and the person it's for would be a beginner too, would be used mostly for stencils fwiw. So any recommendations?…

I saw one of these in Lidl last week might be worth a look http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_ri_ie/hs.xsl/index_25521.htm
Halfords also do a basic kit that comes with compressed air cans http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_787573_langId_-1_categoryId_165614
If you want some info on what would be the best to get ask the guys over on Models as they use them a lot http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=486

My hubby is model nut and likes value and quality. He swears by "badger" as brand for best air brush sets - stay away from any of them compressed can sets complete waste of money. He purchased a good compressor from Aldi for about 99, they come up regularly - might be even cheaper since then(or might get a smaller version than his). For air brush sets can get "badger 150" on ebay from around €60 including shipping. But if for xmas would want to check if would be delivered on time.
