ADMIN (could you delete replica posts, my bad)

Hello guys,

Having inherited a compressor and airbrushes it soon transpired that they are quite old, but in good condition except for the hose.
On closer inspection I inspected the hose and could see small cracks on the hose, looked a bit brittle and fair enough a quick wiggle and it snapped off.

Problem is, I'm unsure what to get as a replacement hose due to its age and my inexperience in airbrushes!

So, I enclose a couple of pics to show the offending hose...the compressor end is larger than the airbrush end

If it's a standard hose then I'll nip straight over to SMS to order one (if they do them!)

Thanks in advance!

Del

I think it is a standard hose connector.
If the end on the compressor is same as end on airbrush , it's probably

Cheers Gary, unfortunately therein lies my issue, it's not standard at each end... Compressor end larger...

I think you've nailed it Gary....problem is I'll be paying P&P for a £4 hose!!!






....I'll just have to order a model kit with it!

Get some paints as well, then the P & P will seem negligible!

If it's as good as the one i bought , the p&p is well worth it.
Mine is that colour ( blue / yellow ) but 1/8 to 1/8 , quality is really good.
Buy some thinners and airbrush cleaner
