the look interesting and are priced same as iwata

Also, on compressors. silverjet or Fusion by Iwata or get one with a tank?

No I have not, but if the quality and presentation of the web site is anything to go by, then I'd say that they would be quite a nice instrument.

.....but I'll always be a badger-man at heart.

I have 2 Iwatas and love them.. If these are priced the same, I'd go with the known winner, Iwata.....

BTW, if you have Hobby Lobby stores in your AO (and you should) watch Hobby Lobby's website for their 40% off coupon and go buy your Iwata airbrush from them for much, much less..

yes, i have that coupon.

do you suggest a compressor with a tank? oiless, # of pistons etc?

what do you think about this deal?
Only thing that concerns me is the quality of the compressor

I use a Model Maker Tankless/oiless/single piston compressor and it suits me just fine.. One thing I don't like about compressors with tanks is that the air is drawn out of the tank, and typically, you have to wait for the compressor to start up when the tank gets low and then wait for the tank to refill before using it again.. Atleast that was the way with my old compressor which is in the garage now.. There are many small hobby compressors which are cheaper and work just fine.. Hobby Lobby also sells compressors and any of them should work for you unless you are using it on a commercial level..
Hope this helps and good luck!!!
