I just purchased an Iwata Neo and I am loving it. I'm totally new, but I've been doing a ton of research on airbrushing and watching vids and learning techniques. I started my first body today and it is really going well. I know the Neo is the lowest end Iwata, but it is a million times better than rattle cans! I was lucky that my dad had a compressor I could use. I'm very pleased with my purchase and I am enjoying the airbrushing very much! My son even wants to use it (he is 8) so I let him paint on some paper. Very cool!
