air brush
I build plastic models as a hobby and I purchased a Grex Genesis XA single action airbrush with money I received for Christmas. I bought this model because I wanted a tool that would allow me to airbrush large sections with a single color. I use acrylic paints primarily albeit I do use lacquer based paints on occasion.
The airbrush has a unique design and some nice features--the knob to adjust airflow is an example. But it was also disappointing.
