Right, to start of some quick info on me:

Age~13.
Art ability~Good on models,

on paper.
Devotion to looking after things~Pretty good.
Painting amount~'Bout every other day.
Common sense and maturity~High compared to other people of my age.
Max amount of money for Christmas present~£90 {blooming recession!}

Righty, that over, i'll carry on.

Is it worth getting an : Airbrush(single act), airbrush(double act), and an air compressor with all 'the trimmings' (everything i need)

I can't decide; will i use it enough, will i get really frustated, will i be

at it?

For me, an airbrush is an amazing add if you paint a lot of tanks/scenery. If all you do is infantry, not so much.

Frankly though, at 13, I would spend it on something else, unless you also want to explore using it in art for the next few years. There's a lot of stuff to want when you're 13, and just as much you can't normally afford

An airbrush is a specialty tool, and you should only look into getting those when you have most of what you want that may have a wider range of applications.

No, an airbrush is not worth it for 40k miniatures.

They aren't really of the scale that utilizes what airbrushes are actually good at. I've had an airbrush for almost 20 years, which is less time than I've been playing 40k; I've never used it on a mini.

You won't use it enough to justify it's cost (at least not on 40k stuff). If you're active in other arts, that's up to you.

Thankyou all, all your opinions are very valued.

I've decided to call the airbrush off.

An airbrush is really only worth it if you're going to be painting a lot of tanks or something. Even so, you can probably get a can of appropriately colored primer from Halford's or what have you. Get something you'll have more fun with.
