Bought an airbrush

[Huh? What?]

Had to go to town on Friday, and stopped by the big box hobby and craft store to buy some copper rod for making hand rails. I noticed they had most of their airbrushes and accessories marked down for clearance. I picked up an Iwata Neo airbrush kit. It was originally priced at $239, marked down to $169, and was being cleared out for 50% of the lowest marked price. Paid $85 dollars plus tax for the kit. It came with airbrush, compressor, hose, three bottles of paint and a bottle of cleaner. Spent some time this morning playing around with it. The yellow paint was the perfect color for a model of a Porsche 914 kit I picked up for the layout. I'm doing the kit to look like my very first car, which was a yellow 1971 Porsche 914.

Looks like a great purchase!

Jon.

 

[Huh? What?]

I hope so. Now to study up on weathering my locos/cars, and start gathering paints to do it with.

When you least expect it, bargains magically appear. Well done.

Good purchase. Is that a Porsche 914 body-shell you're spraying up.

 

[Huh? What?]

Yep. It's a Revell 1/25th scale model. It'll go into the layout well enough. My first car, back when I was a young man in the navy was a yellow Porsche 914.

Nice bargain! You tube has a load of clips covering the many aspects of air-brush weathering. Have fun

Great deal on the Iwata - amongst the best going - not sure about the lemon, but I would strongly recommend using acrylic paint which is more healthy for the planet but easier to clean up too.

Our airbrush was the most useful thing we've ever bought. Makes getting a top quality finish so much easier.
