Which airbrush do you actually need?

For miniatures, a 0.3-0.5mm gravity-feed, dual-action airbrush covers priming, basecoating and zenithal highlights - the jobs an airbrush genuinely transforms. The classic answer is the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS; the value answers are the Harder & Steenbeck Ultra and the budget challengers. Whatever you pick, the compressor matters as much as the brush: a tank and a regulator smooth the airflow, and a moisture trap keeps water out of your paint.

Pair it with airbrush-ready paint - the paint pages mark the airbrush ranges, and their prices compare the sellers side by side.
