This book is designed to impart the techniques of using this effective tool quickly and easily. Clear photographs are taken of the painting process on each different model, showing all sorts of exciting techniques. A book that will suit both complete beginners and those wanting to get more out of their airbrush.. All three types of airbrush are examined and explained in simple terms. The title also boasts an excellent section on actually using the airbrush, and studies in depth the painting of four different miniatures

I found particularly useful the extensive technical section on how to disassemble and Konstantinos MARKOULAKIS Being a novice airbrush user, I found particularly useful the extensive technical section on how to disassemble and maintain the airbrush and its parts, something that is only perfunctorily examined in similar books.. "Scale Modelers View" according to Danny Serrano. The book is the regular Osprey size paperback with Beautiful full color Pictures Each chapter is mostly step-by-step pictures with some text.One chapter shows an airbrush being disassembled. Another is step-by-step on how to build your own silent compressor. One chapter has to do with mixing your own colors.The book seems to be more aim at general airbrush user instead of the scale model builder. I would have preferred more on thinning paints and setting pressures.I do not recommend it.The Testor's manual on plastic model building is more useful. It has a great chapte. "Good book" according to advreader. Enjoyed reading this entire book. It had lots of suggestions, clear instructions, great pictures and good explanations. It covers several (planes, cars, miniature figures, etc.) Enjoyed reading and learning.
