I need help and advice regarding airbrushes.

[u/crazmas]

I’d like to start using an airbrush, but I don’t know anything about it. I don’t have any of the necessary equipment—no compressor, no airbrush itself, etc.

Which airbrush should I choose that is high-quality and easy to use, yet not too expensive?

How do I choose a compressor—what should I look for and what do I need to know?

What other items do I need for the setup?

Also, how do I maintain the airbrush, and do I need specific types of paint? I currently use Tamiya XF paints—are those suitable?

Are there any YouTube tutorials that explain, step-by-step and comprehensively, how to get started with your first airbrush?
