I notice you are in Europe. Do you have access to Iwata brand airbrushes there? If so, get a Revolution series model # CR. This is a great airbrush that is very versitile. I have about 17 airbrushes, many of them cost 4-5 times as much as the CR, but I use the CR the most. It is a GREAT airbrush. Iwata is a very high quality brand that is made in Japan. Here is a link to a airbrush supply store in the USA that ships overseas if you cannot find one there. Good luck and hope you enjoy.

I could not agree more with this post. I have been painting for about a year. I started with the Paasche. Then I got my Revolution and the Paasche was never touched again. So to try and be a better all I can be painter I bought the Iwata Eclipse. And I still use my Revolution 5x more. Its just a smooth all round easy to use airbrush. I use Faskolor paints.

So don't kick yourself in the fanny and get the Iwata Revolution. The best starter brush ever and with the the best resale you can get if you don't stick with it?
