Simple airbrush, paint and liquid mask recommendation?
Hi guys,
I fancy trying my hand at some simple shells again (I painted a few years ago), they won't be anything really fancy, just blocks of colour separated by black or silver lines probably. I have a compressor, I'm looking for recommendation of the following: Decent budget airbrush and the fixings required to connect to my compressor. Paint. Liquid mask. Thanks, G

I use a Iwata Neo (about £45) and love it, easy to control and easy to strip and clean.
For Liquid mask I use RCS and for paints I use Vallejo Premium or Creatix. |

Another vote for Iwata. I've had a couple of cheap brushes and they are just that.
Createx or fascolor paint and rcs liquid mask

Iwata Neo is a very good choice indeed. And affordable. If you paint simple layouts, you could also use masking tape instead of liquid mask.

Iwata kustom cs £140, did have veda180's £25, but they are worlds apart. Easier to sell the Iwata if ya decide to give up.
Paints, createx mostly, started getting wicked made by createx but seams to flow better. 3 coats of RCS liquid mask watered down 3 to 1. New 10a blade every body. A lot of practice, don't be afraid to try new things and YouTube.

I'm struggling to find all the colours of RCS paint that I need.
Is Faskolor any good? Can the two be used together? Thanks, G

I use a mix of RCS, Faskolor, Createx and Wicked which are all water based and some RCS solvent based, as long as each coat is dry to the touch, then I find it ok, heat guns are good.
