Cheap airbrush...

[squidders]

I have never used one and imagine they range from terrible to amazing in terms of quality but Lidl will be selling 'em soon for £40 that might be worth a punt for someone.

doesn't look that bad.
I mean I'd dump the AB asap for a double-action grav feed one, but the paint + compressor might be worth it to a beginner who doesn't want to AB for hours, just a few tanks / basecoating a few figures.

It'd be fine for people wanting to replace the GW spraygun or even just to put a compressor onto it. No reference to needle size (could well be 0.5mm). You would need to get a moisture trap for modelling though

The brush is pretty much the same as the GW one, just without the flamer look, and it does not mention needle size as it does not have one, because its single action.

the compressor does not look to have an adjustable output, and from the vid seems very low pressure.

Ah, sorry didn't quite spot that it wasn't an internal mix so didn't have a needle.

Would need a regulator with water trap if it has no pressure control (around £15) the case then.

Squidders, I cannot follow the link (either due to work filters or US trying to link to their store).

But I'm gathering it is an external mix similar to this?

You'd be better off with an Aztec or an adjustable single action gun:

That first gun is almost non-adjustable. I know you can move the venturi up or down to adjust paint flow a bit and you can adjust the air flow with a regulator, but line width is whatever the gun decides it is. It takes lots of air to pull the paint up with that venturi.

This is the critter

only slightly better than the one I posted.
It is "adjustable" in that the paint nozzle can be moved in and out of the air stream.

Maybe the way to think of this is a compressor that comes with a free spraygun?
