I picked up my Hudson today. Wont get to it for a few months, but looking forward to building it.

Ok. Today I picked up a Iwata HPCS air brush kit from Hobby Lobby. list price 189, rung up as 109, then they took the 40% discount off. Spool a $au250 airbrush has cost me $70. Whoo hoo! I also picked up 3 models thanks to my Hellers, armed with 40% off coupons. Great shopping!

gonna get one of these, it is just beautiful.

Look forward to more cranky goodness. i'll definately try one of these.

Thank you for all the great replies. I had done some googling, but I wanted actual peoples takes on places. I hadn't thought about the transport bit, so It looks like Denver and Las Vegas as we will have a car because we are driving from Denver and along Route 66, which should be awesome. I am looking forward to taking lots of pics. My other hobby is photography. As a side note if you like hot rods, have a look at my galleries www.raytookthis.com. Again thank you all and thanks for the good wishes, we had a ball last time we visited, but it was short only 3 weeks. This trip is double that. I think some more airbrush research is in order!

I will be visiting the USA in September/October and want to grab an airbrush, Dr. Cranky's book and some models as they seem so much cheaper there. I have decided on a double action, external mix, with the cup on top. Haven't worked out a brand yet! Can anyone recommend good hobby shop/s in either San Francisco, Chicago, Denver or Las Vegas. (Yes we are travelling quite a bit, can't wait, loved it last time!) Also how much might it cost to post a kit back to Australia? I can't seem to work it out from the US postal website. Thanks in advance.
