Re: Airbrush
those are paint sprayers an air brush is much smaller for detail work

I have used this one also

the learning curve isn't long to use them. Practice on cardboard or plywood.
If your doing a burst start with 2 coats of clear then start with the lighter color
I do a soft yellow brown over the top then darker colors and work out.
the trick is to know when to stop

Re: Airbrush
I do my burst work with them. An airbrush is too small for me for that job. I use my air brush for touch up work. I use a StewMac air brush, I like the hose on it better than others.
