I just got this sugarcraft gun for my birthday... i have to say, it ROCKS!
I have the Kopykake Airmaster Airbrush and love it. I have the pasta roller which attaches to the K-5 kitchenaid mixer, love that too. I have a simple clay gun I got from a craft store but haven't used that yet. Hope that helps some! 
Thanks for the responses...I have a question about airbrushes...don't know if it will get answered here or if I'll need a new post...can you use any type of airbrush for cake decorating, or does it need to be specifically designed for cake decorating? The Airbrush City site seems to be just for paint, do these work for cake colors too? 
Sorry, I just don't know!

Because of the difference in compressors, you need to purchase an airbrush that is made specifically for cakes, otherwise you run the risk of blowing holes in the frosting. 
Trust me on these recommendations. If you don't trust me, then trust my most recent cake using a couple of my suggestions, the spray brush and extruder. (Sorry, I am shamefully showing it off again. 
)
I have the Kopycake spray brush 
, the red sugarcraft sugar paste extruder (it's the best and the rest seem to be junk), and a cheapie hand crank pasta machine, which is okay cuz I got from Micheals with a 40% off coupon......... But, I will be ordering a new one for my new KA because with the hand crank only one hand is free and the electric I will have both hands free.
HTH 
Its def best to spend the little extra for good quality on some items. Yesturday I bought a clay gun, el cheapo kind, I can barely use it. My husband tried, he even struggled with it. I should have known, it looked poorly made but the price was better than the others. I learned my leason.
I have a KopyKake Airbrush and love it... can order tons of colors and it is fun to work with... haven't dabled in the clay yet, maybe I should!
I use a really big piece of craft paper (re-use over and over and over...) to cover a large part of my table. Some does end up on the table anyway, but it washes right off. And I dont' do it close to the wall. The landlord surely would not like that!
I use a huge sheet of plastic that I have used for a drop cloth in painting my house and I cover my studio, the wall, the ceiling and the floor cuz I'm a bit of a pig. I use a face mask and I slowly fan my brush to the left and to the right....up and down, left and right, up and down, never starting on the cake but a bit before. And I haven't learned.....I am in the process of learning.
You can also try the lessons at howtoairbrush.com. Very helpful!!
I have a stupid question.....do you have to have a special room or something to use an airbrush? Would I end up with color all over my kitchen?
I use a big box turned on its side, place the item to be airbrushed inside to help "contain" the "dust".
