caragan1970: Nice little staring guide you have there, good job! [8D]

Games workshop paints and valejo paints are nice aswell. I have about 13 years of experience with their colours and I can only highly recomend them. Water based so they are extreamly easy to work with and you can clean the brush in water. Also, if you find a colour to think, just add water and it will be thinner. They have primes, foundation paints, washes/inks and more.
I'm used to paint 28mm figures and small scale things, like 1/72 tanks for example. That's easy compared to painting a 1/16 tank I'd say. It's like comparing night and day, I have to get used to it I guess. Would be an easy matter if I were using airbrush I think. And that leads on to my question.

I have never tryed airbrush. Is it any good? Is doubleaction a requierment? What brand to use? If someone with knowledge of airbrushing could direct me to some information site or maybe drop a few lines here I would be happy! I might be buying a kit.
