One thing that was really great about this section is that I have the exact same airbrush. I had never heard about that moisture filter gadget. I will look into getting on. I like that I now have a reference to all the parts and how to take the airbrush apart and put it back together. I also liked the fine detail tip to be useful.. I did not know I could remove one on the screw on tips. Thanks.

One of my hobbies is N-scale model railroading. I'm about to build some modular layouts. I intend to use the knowledge I learn in this course to paint the landscaping, structural kits, rolling stock & weathering my rolling stock & locomotives.
