for some time,I have been thing of getting a bigger AB,just for doing bigger area,s of work and for priming,
so I pickup this cheap ,single action one,with about .5 or so,maybe bigger AB,for that reason,a whole,$22.oo
so I can run cheap watered down, acrylic paint,
as I,m finding that the vallejo paint needs to be thinned,and makes my pore little compressor,work hard,
using it,where this one,having a bigger nozzle,dose ,it in less than half the time,
as I did not always wont to use the big bottle,I glued in the middle of the lid,a cap of a 17ml vallejo,bottle so,
I can change between the two,
plus also need to get a fitting which only cost,$1.87 so all cheap and good,

Just a heads up , anyone wanting a big 1/24 scale hurricane , i just got this at 'The Works' publishers outlet -£30 . Bargain , theyve got some other airfix stuff too, the pearl harbour three kit set and the battle of britain 1/72 four kit set at £20 each plus some starter sets at £4 . I dont expect theyll be around for long at these prices!

Nice score Tony, if it wasn't for my latest purchase that's emptied my wallet I'd be getting one of them

Here's my new compressor, the Clarke Air Ultra Quiet SHHH 30/9.

It uses a fridge-type compressor so it's very quiet in operation & has a 9 litre air tank. It's very well built with no leaks. The only thing to watch out for is the 1/4 output. Luckily I had a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter, so I can screw my airbrush hose straight on.

At £260 it's not cheap, but my previous homemade silent compressor setup was too prone to leaks, so I decided to go for a ready-made solution. If you've got the money & worry about the neighbours being bothered by your regular compressor, I'd heartily recommend this one. View attachment 271379
