    There is a knack to airbrushing: you've either got it or you haven't. I've just spent an extremely stressful half-hour reminding myself that I haven't and that in my hands an airbrush is simply an expensive tool used for ruining models.

      I've not been to Missenden but I have used the ones by The Airbrush Company, down in Lancing:

      It's only a day and focused on Airbrushing so better value than Missenden for what it is. if you take the airbrush you have got the should be able to give it the once over to make sure it isn't that which is causing the problems.

      I started with a cheapish single action, but for N it was just a bit too coarse. I have now invested in an Iwata double action, and the difference is worlds apart. I run a compressor (with reservoir) bought from Aldi with a filter regulator downstream of the compressors built in one. Getting the paint thinning right is half the battle, and I have found some acrylics don't stay mixed well for very long. Why not get a couple of cheap Airfix style kits to practice on, more challenging than painting flat surfaces.

      Another vote for the airbrushes.com course at Lancing.  My late wife paid for it for my birthday in 2012, her money was well spent!
