Honestly - the difficulty of doing the airbrushing on figs that small
isn't
worth the rewards... Paint them by hand, because they're small, the
differences between them and the big ones won't be so obvious.	You
don't
need to paint them with the same level of detail that you would on a
25mm
fig or RAFM HG fig, so abstracting it a bit and using a brush will be
fine.
 And if you're looking for feathered edges, just drybrush carefully...	 

If you're looking to use the airbrush to do basecoats in single colours
for
the whole fig, that's ok, and if you're determined to use it to do camo
patterns, practice making small lines on graph paper, and do it free
hand.
Masking a fig that small will be insane.

Adrian.
