Just bid and won this on Ebay @ £59.00.
Never used one before and it will be some time before I do. I realise this will not be best, probably a clone but it will give me a start. Quite looking forward to it.

I have the big brother of this one with the dual cylinder and it works fine for me, been going strong for 3 years now with no problems at all. Don't imagine the brush will be up to much but be nice to get some practice with

Same type of compressor I use. The moisture trap and pressure control valve will be the most important components and allow you to adjust PSI if you so desire (something I rarely do any more). Nice set up!

Thanks to every one for your replys
Bill, I'm much encouraged by the replies I'm receiving.
I must admit I was rather worried, spares are available from this company which might be of some help.
It comes with 0.3 nozzle? and 0.2 and 0.5 are available...cheers....Kenny
0.3 nozzle ought to suit most of your needs but if you get the chance you should pick up the smaller ones as well...they will help you deal with fine-line work more easiy should you decide to go that route in the future with your painting.
looks similar to mine. if there is a drain on the bottom then make sure you use it, i also had to buy an inline moisture trap as the regulator didnt cope too well on its own.

Bill I have a Coleman compressor that I have been using for 10+ years with no problem. Though I probably should install a moisture trap if I can find one. Otherwise I can use my dads pancake compressor which has a internal moisture trap. But I have a several Airbrushes including one Badger single action several Testors/Aztek airbrushes at least one single action one double action and several External mix sprayers a knockoff version of the Badger 350 single action and what looks like a Harbor Freight copy of a Badger 150 Double action.

Well it arrived this morning, very quick delivery.
It's sitting in the corner looking all shiny and sparkly.
I don't know when I will get some practice in,,,,to be honest I think I'm terrified...cheers....Kenny
Hey Kenny,
Nice buy at a darn good price - the compressor looks fine and the moisture trap is a must so that's a result!
I've been airbrushing for about two years now and always with the same set up. Well, as you know I bought a new set up that was the same as my existing one to use while the compressor got serviced - I really rate my set up and don't need anything else at the minute but a new gun may be on the cards next year. It's nice to know that I have a back up now my old compressor is back!
I found it pretty easy tbh. Is the gun a dual action - if so have plenty of practice as it takes a while to get the hang of. I use 0.3mm for all my work and I find it to be a good all round size. You may find the bigger nozzle useful if airbrushing Vallejo primers as they are a bit gloopy.
Don't forget the bottle of airbrush cleaner and remember - no Cellulose Thinner for cleaning it or it's bye bye 'O' Rings!
I look forward to seeing what you can do with it Kenny! Areyou an Acrylic man out of interest?
All the best buddy,

Jimmy D, thanks for looking in.
Ben, I was hoping you would 'pop' in because it was you that pushed me over the edge into buying one.
I have just bought this on Ebay

You mentioned cleaning fluid, I use Acrylics mixed with water up untill now, so would I not just clean with water. Yes the gun is dual action...cheers....Kenny
You can flush through with water but if it dries water will not really do, you will end up with bits blocking the nozzle. I always do the cleanout with alcohol after flushing with water for water based acrylics.
talentless, thank you for a very usefull tip...cheers....kenny
Be sure to use it right away , at least for practice . If there is anything wrong with it you'd want to find out right away before any warranty is out dated .Not much goes wrong with these really .
Shellback, thanks for the good advice...cheers....Kenny
I have a very similar compressor as you. It came with a dual-action AB, and I found it difficult to use, plus I'm very partial to my Badger 200.

Hi, Instead of buying the Brand Name AB cleaners ( Vallejo,Iwata Medea etc ) you can use a car screen wash , Tesco's own brand cost 3.50 for 5 litres whereas the named brands cost 8 - 12 Pounds for a litre, afterwards just rinse through with distilled water..........sapperjon
