Kit I like to Use.
Airbrushes.
I airbrush pretty much everything, at least a primer & a zenithal highlight. I use Harder & Steebeck airbrushes, Mainly the Cult of Paint edition Infinity and an Evolution with both 0.4 & 0.2 mm nozzles. I prefer the 2 ml cup from the Evolution & tend to use that on the Infinity as I find the 5ml as supplied blocks line of sight too much.
For my Compressor I use a Sparmax TX620, Its a beast of a thing & its sparmax predecessor lasted 18 years so that bought me a lot of Brand Loyalty.
Mr Tool Cleaner R, PremiAir Foaming cleaner & liquid reamer keep it all running lovely.
Brushes.
Artis Opus or Rosemary & Co Series 33, These are very subjective, We’ve all heard the big names, I’ve found for cost vs quality these offer the best blend of the two I’ve found so far. I tend to use the Series 33 for Oils & enamels, it *will* kill them pretty quickly even with good brush care but the results are worth it I think.

Drybrushes
Again, more AO kit, I was cynical about these for a long time but I've seen the difference they can make. I'd recommend watching their YouTube tutorials to get your head round it.

Paints
Purely down to preference, I'm a total hussy, I love Scale75, Kimera, Vallejo, GW, AK, you name it.
For Airbrushing I use Tamiya, MrHobby Lacquers or Alclad/Astand. THESE ALL STINK. You need a respirator & good ventilation. im lucky enough that my painting shack in my garden used to house a 1/2 dozen greyhounds so Its separate & away from the house.
for weathering then oils & AK enamels are the Dogs Danglies.
I always drop a 1/2 dozen mixing balls in everything too

Oil Paints
Windsor & Newton Artist Oils or Abteilung 502.
For mixing them I use these, They’ll last forever & can be diswashered etc etc
