Hi - I'm just getting back into modelling after a 10 year hiatus, and stumbled across this website after reading one of the recent issues of the magazine. I'm primarily interested in 1/24 and 1/25 auto modelling at the moment, but who knows where the future might take me :-)
I'm an Aussie living in the USA at the moment, so have an interesting question...
I'd love to get into airbrushing, especially seeing as the prices here are often much lower than back home! However, most of the hobby compressors over here are single voltage. Since Australia runs higher voltage than the USA, I can't really take these home without spending another $50+ on a decent step-up transformer (and I'm not that keen on running this sort of appliance on a transformer!!!). If anyone knows of a reasonably priced dual-voltage compressor, please let me know. Otherwise I'll probably end up getting a cheapie and flogging it off for whatever I can get before I head home....
Look forward to reading plenty of tips and tricks on here, and perhaps posting some of my own once I get all my kit together and actually make a start!
Cheers
