Hi from Cork Ireland

[Belugawrx]

@Belugawrx Hey, I think you're right bud, what do ye think of this one, retails at €169 ( about 175 Dollars I think ) .

MEEDEN Airbrush Kit with Compressor and Guns - 1/5 HP Quite Air Compressor for Model Painting with 3 Dual-Action Airbrush Guns - 24 Colours 30ml Acrylic Spray Paint Set with Hose

Copy and paste into Google, Link not working
Thanks for your thoughts

Over and out , Murph

I would keep the compressor that works, and get a better airbrush. Look at the brand's Badger, Iwata, Paasche, Harder&Steenbeck...these are all good makes and have a variety of grades...don't get the cheapest..
My grandfather always said "only a rich man can afford to buy cheap tools"
Good luck

 

[Belugawrx]

Oh, and make sure your existing air supply line has the same size fitting for the new airbrush....

 

[Murph]

@Belugawrx OK that's great advice, thanks for the help, and the other saying "Buy cheap buy twice" !!!!

Welcome Murph from Galveston Texas
Sorry to hear about your current rig. Sounds like it has just plain gone arseways
But don't give up. I'm fairly ancient an have gone through a number of air brushes. Tamiya has one on Amazon for $88 US. Performs better than most of the really expensive ones. It's definitely not Banjaxed.

@styrenemachine Thanks, I'll try that before I buy a completely new kit

Hi everybody, I'm Murph, Live in a place called Cobh (pronounced Cove) in South Cork Ireland.
I'm a retired Paramedic Clinician Married for 23 years to Claire (she that shall be obeyed) Live in a huge ground floor
apartment 20 yards from the sea wall with a 180 degree view of the entrance to Cork Harbour,
the massive cruise liners go right past the front bay window
Been into modelling for donkeys years, model railways, aeroplanes, boats, all sorts, now into Cars and Motorbikes, got a
Pocher 1:8 scale Lamborghini Aventador on the way from Germany it will be the most challenging thing I've ever done
so expect lots of questions, has anyone else tackled this beast ? Looking forward to it though, I already have most modelling tools
I've collected over the years just one or two bits to get for this one including a tapping set which someone suggested will be useful
as there's shed loads of self tapping screws but tapping first makes it easier apparently, watch this space !!!
Looking forward to meeting ye all
Slainté Murph

Welcome.
