can you recommend a decent airbrush kit? 

[alakey73]

@vincycles123 - I use an Iwata HP-CH and an Eclipse CS. I also have a Harder & Steenbeck I use on occasion. I have an Iwata Smart Jet compressor but don't use it much either. Most of my paintings are done using my DeWalt 15 gallon compressor. I also recommend moisture traps by Fabco-Air. They are out of Florida and build great equipment.

Just one thing...Wow!!! Great job I wish could be able to do portraits like this one, because I´m just in the beggining on the airbrush world.

Great video!

so it took you like 2 and a half hours to do ? hmm pretty good man keep up the good work.

The Iwata Eclipse CS is what I primarily use. It's a great airbrush. The H&S 2 in 1 is great as well. I also use a Dewalt 15 gallon compressor. I'm not very fond of the small airbrush compressors except for small jobs or practicing.
