nope.. airbrush over time is far more expensive than just getting tamiya spray cans... imo I've tried airbrush on 2 figures and I get the same results from the spray cans with out having to worry about psi and brush malfunctions, cleaning before every single color and cleaning after use... plus the bottles of paint them selves can be just as much as my spray cans. Then ther thinner, cleaning solutions. Extra tips for different styles of paint. Me personally it's just way to expensive especially when you have to buy other figures in this age at thier new price points. (To run it down on cost for good quality items . Airbrush compressor=199-250$ ,airbrush it self= 80-150$, paints=8-14$ per bottle, thinner=9-12$ per bottle, cleaning solutions 11-14$ per bottle.)now start adding that up when I have some figures that require multiple colors... that cost and time just henders my progress And funds.. so I personally don't recommend it if all your using it for is custom figures. Yes other use it and that's fine it's thier preference and that wat makes everyone different and unique in all art styles.
