Trap for young players... the neo is made by someone else and badged by Iwata... if you can hold out, it is worth spending the extra coin on an eclipse.Thanks maybe I'll just get the iwata neo then go from there think I'll paint surfing pics landscape pics also want to attempt a David Mann type pic

Generic brushes have their place in the universe but if you are serious about wanting to do airbrushing then get a decent brush from the beginning and you will have it for as long as you want to keep airbrushing. Be warned, once you get the hang of it you will be unlikely to stop at one brush, we have a large number of members who are part of the AAD support group (airbrush aquisition disorder) , Not a real 'group' just a contingent of people who dont seem to be able to stop buying airbrushes / airbrush related bits and pieces.
You will see a lot of people suggesting the Eclipse CS

Its a great all rounder, parts are easily obtained and once you get use to it you can get a high degree of detail.
Your sparmax will certainly do the job for now while you are practising and learning. I started with 2 generic brushes and they taught me a lot about their internals and how to tear it down - which was often as they're not well made and I thought it was my fault with bad cleaning practices
Dont ever be worried about posting up your practice pieces (preferably in focus ) so we can guide you on your journey.
If you are willing to listen and learn then you'll get all the support you need, we are very newbie friendly and hate to see people wasting money on things that we did when we started.
