Can anyone recommend a airbrush compressor please, there are plenty on a auction site but user knowledge I think is always more valuable.Dont want to go to silly on price but also don't want to have to ditch it after a few uses.
Tank or no tank your thoughts.?

Definitely get one with a tank and adjustable pressure.
I use a small nail gun compressor - adjustable down to about 15psi. I do also have a small Parkside version (no tank) which is fine if I need something more portable. Wouldn’t trust it with any fine work though.

Iwata Neo. Around £60 over here - good beginner’s airbrush (allegedly) :D
