The VL is a very good airbrush but only single action I think. It would be good for a beginner to use. Then later on you could go to a double action type. A dual action gives you more control and I should add if you are committed to learning good technique then you could start with it but keep in mind it is harder to control at first.
The bad news is that it will take you days to paint a base coat on a .60 size plane. The airbrush is made for detail work. The spray isn't much wider than a marker.
If you get the right compressor say a 1-2 horsepower with a 10- 20 gallon tank, then you can use a small auto touch-up gun to do what you want.

I agree with Jeff. A good touch up gun is what you need for .60. Just to confirm, the VL is dual action. Although it is recommended for beginners, it is often called a workhorse brush. Nothing wrong with something reliable, easy to use, and maintain.
For the touch up gun Harbor Freight is a good place. And get something that is gravity feed. That adjustable cup on the top makes everything easier. The set cup on the bottom will bump into everything. Bruce posted a good link. Here's another:

I haven't tried the 150 but Badger makes a good airbrush. Definitely buy the best you can afford.
But (hopefully everybody will agree) stay away from the cheap knockoffs on ebay. For every good experience there are a dozen bad ones.
