I have used a Paasche, a Badger, and a Iwata, and by far the Iwata's work best. Double action are nice, but you really don't need one, especially if you plan on using paints other than Acrylics. I used to do some pretty hard detail with my Iwata when I made 1/35 scale tanks. I think the most important piece of equipment is a good Air Compressor.<span style=''mso-spacerun: yes''> Which I see that you now have one.</span></span></p>
I recently acquired an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and Iwata Smartjet compressor and I'm very happy with them both. From what I've read there isn't a better airbrush for model painting than the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS.
