i have never airbrushed before and i recently bought an iwata hp cr revolution air regulator and cleaning pot and went to work. i spent 135.00 and was set up with every thing i needed i already had an air compressor. i was very impressed on how easy the iwata was to use. i did not like the pencil style feel in my hand though i think if i was to do it over i would have went with a grex gun style. any ways i made a short video series on my mistakes and what went right if any beginers want to take a look its on you tube type in ( airbrushing rc for beginer's)
