It depends on where you live. I bought an air brush in 1999 to paint HO
scale rail equipment. That year is important because it was the year we
had a horrible drought and the air was pretty dry. I loved it.
The next Summer, and everyone that followed, I quickly started to hate the
damn thing. A spray can, properly used, would do just as good a job in
the humid weather we usually have. Considering the extra setup the brush
required, I quickly migrated to said cans.
That said, if you are really willing to put some money into it and can
paint in an environmentally controlled area with a booth, OR if you live
somewhere that is very dry, I would say use the air brush. Otherwise, I
would be leery of recommending one.
