Do you have little modelers sharing the bench with you? Are you looking for a good inexpensive airbrush? I saw this one advertised on a recent Harbor Freight sale flier. I know, I know, it's Harbor Freight. But I got one to set aside for Ian. I took it to a club get together yesterday and there was a positive response over it. I shot some alcohol through it today and it's got a good feel to it.

HF Double Action Airbrush
It's double action, looks kinda like a Badger and takes an Iwata hose. Not a bad deal for $12.99. Also, at that price, it would be a good prize for junior modelers at contest.

As an old single action Paasche man, this one looks pretty good to learn with. I put harbor freight on my favorites list and will look intoit at a later date. Even off sale it is cheap.
