I had to check it, it's the AB017. I have no idea what that means! It's a single action. (I guess there's a double action that allow you to control the air pressure.) I'd been using a neighbors for a while and finally got my own for Christmas - best gift ever. I was like little Robbie and his BB gun in The Christmas Story!

I just purchased one at Micheal's with my 50% off coupon, it's a Badger the only brand they carry. I proably won't use it much but wanted to learn how to. I have ordered my coloring from KopyKake, can't wait to try it outicon_smile.gif

I just got my set-up, too, via the Hobby Lobby 40% coupon. It's good through tomorrow, BTW. They carry many brands. I got the Paasche double action and the Testor mini compressor. Haven't tried this out yet....will post here later on after I've fired it up. Much, much cheaper than the ones sold for cakes. We'll see how it works. Fingers crossed!

A lot of people like kopykake but it will depend on what you. Krome jet from kopykake some people like but you can not adjust your airflow. the airmaster from kopykake a lot of people like you can adjust the flow and do alot more with it. Below is a link, this is the cheapest I have found for the airmaster $209 (few dollars cheaper then sugarcraft, most places charge $250 and up, krome jet is also on that page for you to compare)

Good luck on your search, I am saving up for the airmaster due to the fact I have a lot of good stuff done with that compared to the krome jet, but like I said it will depend on what you want they are both good I just prefer the airmaster .

Irisinbloom, I wanted to get a Badger with my 50% off as well as you, but on its box was written that badger airbrush wasn't meant for food use. It had something toxic, so be careful before you use it.
