Airbrush Spray

What airbrush/spray painter is best for Models? 10POINTS?
I am getting a model battleship, and since their are large areas that you have to paint, i don't want to use a normal paint brush, because when i do, it always leaves streaks. Can any one recommend either a good spray painter or airbrush for this model i have. By the way the model is 20 in. My price range is $40 and under for a spray/airbrush.
---OR---
Can anyone tell me how to paint large areas of the ship without leaving streaks with the brush. Maybe their is a good brush that doesn't leave streaks? Can any one recommend? 10 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER!!!
By the way this is the Ship.

Its off the subject but...
Do you know of any acrylic modell paint for models that isnt flammable?
I live over seas, and i need a model paint that isn't flammable. Do you know of any???
OUCH... sadly, most good airbrushes are in the $50-100 range. THOUGH, if well maintained, they will last you for decades !!
I've been using Paasche double-action airbrushes for almost 30 years now, and to ME they are the best.
I noticed your link, and the ship (Might Mo !!). IF you can't afford an airbrush, the BEST way to paint a ship like that (or aircraft) is to use spray-paint (Testors Model Master is my fav)... and paint the model BEFORE ASSEMBLY !!
You'd paint ALL parts while still on the sprue (plastic "trees), build the model in sub-assemblies, and have a small jar of the matching paint to make any "touch-ups" needed. This is the BEST way to paint model ships, because once assembled, it is a ROYAL PAIN to mask off tiny areas and the angle between deck and bulkhead (wall).
FYI, Testors Spray paints are about $5-9 a can and would be enough for one model that size...
GOOD LUCK.
