What is an airbrush?
An airbrush is a small spray gun used to apply paint to models. You usually must thin model paints before using them in an airbrush. An airbrush allows the modeler to apply a fine coat of paint that doesn’t obscure the model’s fine details. Airbrushes usually cost $50 or more, and you must have a compressed-air source to operate them, such as a compressor or a cylinder of compressed air or inert gas.
