When you start aeromodelling your first priority is to put together a set of building tools. But as time goes on you'll no doubt want to add to your tool and accessory collection, and one of the most popular ancillary items is a basic airbrush powered by a compressed air can. This will allow you to add a few personal touches to your latest R/C model aeroplane - maybe a broad sweep of black paint to represent an exhaust trail down the fuselage of a warbird, or a few streaks on the wing leading edges to replicate gun residue. But as with most modelling tasks adding such simple touches can become addictive and you'll soon find yourself wanting to upgrade to a decent airbrush so that you can add fine details to areas like a cockpit or to mask off scale panel lines that accurately represent those on a real aircraft. You'll also want to equip yourself with a constant, reliable air supply as there's nothing more frustrating than shaking an empty air can after your brush stutters to a halt half way through a painting session - not to mention the splodges of paint it leaves on your work piece! A decent air compressor is the answer here.
