  1. Yeahhh!! I’ve sent email requests for this very subject to the Kalmbach “Essential tools for model railroaders e-zine”. Could you ask them to include your article in future versions of the “essential tools”? What I like is the unbiased advice on different brands and types – something I might not get at a model RR shop b/c they may “push their brands”. thank you, Cody.

  2. Thank you for the article, i will now bring my airbrush out of a long hibernation. And will check the needle for bends.

  3. I have saved this article on my computer as I am about to buy an air brush and try me hand at air brushing. I have been modeling for many years and always thought air brushing was too difficult burt your article makes it look managable. Thanks

  4. I have had two airbrushes sitting for years, always been a little
    shy of trying. This helps so at long last I will attempt something small to start. Thanks guys keep up the great work.
