ok for the compresser you'll want something with an adjustable out put (psi) and a higher capacity will mean you can spray longer. for the air brush itself you'll want something with a gravity feed as vavuum/suction feed can get blocked too easily
this is based on my experience from sparying cars

I've got one of the compressors in the Amazon link and it's great. I also got one of these airbrushes - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110724205547. It has own air control which I've found useful. |

^ seconded, the compressor is the same as mine and although the airbrushes themselves aren't the best, they're definately good enough to use while you figure out what you're doing.

I run a Badger 150. It's a fantastic workhorse airbrush. www.bearair.com/Badger-150-Set-In-Vinyl-Wood-Grain-Box/productinfo/100028/Good flow, great accuracy and if you buy the kit it comes with different nozzles for different needs. I highly recommend it. I also have a games workshop airbrush (I commented that I thought it was awesome how it looks like a flamer, so my wife bought it for me for christmas. How sweet.) It's a cheap brush to be sure, but it actually does the job pretty well if you're just basecoating models. I wouldn't trust it for detail work. As far as air sources go, stay away from "airbrush compressors". Read the description of that Iwata compressor. 30 mins of spray time followed by 20mins cooldown? No thanks. Air cans also suck the big one. You know, the overpriced propellant aerosol cans you buy at craft stores. They freeze and the output pressure drops. It's a real pain in the butt. The best way to go for air is to go buy a 3 or 5 gallon pancake compressor and get a good regulator with an air/water separator. You can spray for days, and if you get a good regulaor you can set your pressure to whatever you need. Granted it is noisy compared to any other option, but it's sooooo worth it. Just my 2 cents. This is my valk that I did with both my airbrushes. The green and grey were laid down by the GWS Flamer brush, while the brown camo pattern was done with the Badger.    All of my tanks were done with the Badger  Done with the Badger  Basecoat of the dark red was done with the Badger  |
