Basic Book, Okay Introduction,

This review is from: How to Use an Airbrush, Second Edition (FineScale Modeler Books) (Paperback)
The book is well ilustrated and printed on heavy paper. The information provided is very basic, and may appeal to someone who has never used an airbrush. I have been a modeller for many years, but I have never used an air-brush before. Even then, there were only a few new techniques that I found in the book. If you are looking to add to your skills, this is not the book for you. You may want to buy this book to see if you would be interested in air-brushing, and wanted some idea of what it involves. Very little information on how to choose an airbrush, what type of paints to use, how to clean up after use, etc.

This review is from: How to Use an Airbrush, Second Edition (FineScale Modeler Books) (Paperback)
Great book. I recommend it as a a complement to "The Basics of Scale Modeling (also from FineScale Modeler Books)" on the more detail topic airbrushing.
But please be aware that I only recommend this one or "Painting and Finishing" (from FineScale Modeler Books). I've bought the two and 50% of the contents/projects are shared between both.

This review is from: How to Use an Airbrush, Second Edition (FineScale Modeler Books) (Paperback)
This is a good book, if it weren't for the directions that come with any airbrush kit. Nothing new, so save a few bucks and move on to the master modeler books with many more tips on how to use the airbrush more effectively...or simply use the trial and error method...
