Hi all,
Thank you so much for your generous feedback. I have used it over the weekend..... here the general feedback i have gathered:

1) the spray job is acceptable and it looks good on the black hawk helicopter i am working on. paint is sprayed evenly and

2) i wasted/adjusted alot of air just to get the nozzle to spray the desired amount of outflow i wanted. too much air is wasted due to testing of the right amount of air outflow

3) i don't know why but when the nozzle is not at the proper setting, paint starts to leak (my paint bottle is attached under the airbrush, not the traditional paint outlet at the top kind) hence wasting precious paint.....

4) overall, i am happy with it and i think my wife is glad that the noise level is extremely low....

P/S: can someone please tell me if i can change the airbrush body but continue using canned propellant instead of using a compressor? will the canned propellant fit into other airbrush models?
