I've been using my Paasch VL airbrush for about one-year and find it perfect
for modeling.  It is a double action airbrush which means that the trigger
controls both the airflow as well as the amount of paint to be sprayed.
For the beginner, this may seem a bit difficult at first & practicing
on an old model is definitely recommended.  However, a double-action
airbrush allows for much greater control and versatility especially
with military models painted in 3-color camoflouge.  I bought mine
December 1991 from a local art supply store for $60.  I used canned
air for a while, but then invested in a Campbell-Hausfield 3/4
horsepower air compressor with a 7.5 gallon tank (~$200 - probably
the biggest investment you'll ever make in modeling).  This combination
suits my needs perfectly.

Good Luck!
