I'm looking at getting an airbrush kit for my prints and for my wife's crafts. Can anyone recommend a good kit since I know nothing about it? All feedback appreciated.

It depends what you are painting! If you're looking at smaller models/tabletop minis, you should take a look at setups used in the minipainting communities. Larger models might benefit from different setups. I know I didn't want to start cheap and have to upgrade later, so I jumped straight for the Iwata HP CS. The dual action is super nice to have (not a must have though). I'd also recommend spending more on a better compressor before a brush (I got a simple 1gal compressor from California Air Tools).
