tank vs tankless compressor?

Nice looking units and great price but I've had to return 3 of those tc 910's last month. Other people have had better luck with them. With buying directly through amazon (not market place sellers) at least you can try your luck and it's easy to exchange/return within 30 days.

After I had purchased my 1st one, they went out of stock but not for long so keep an eye out if you want that model. And good luck!

Well, i ended up with the tc-20t kit with the badger 155 AB. Got the compressor but no airbrush. Go figure. I did talk my sweet wife into letting me also buy the Badger 105 Patriot AB as well. . . . All of this and more for a 25$ plastic airplane kit! Somehow it all makes sense.

However, the issue is now i need to get this stuff out of the great room. So, i get to build a hobby room in the basement. 15 x 8

How do you like the tc-20t? was it well packaged (protected) for shipping? 

I hear they have good customer service.

In appearance, the Airbrush-depot TC-20T looks identical to the Badger TC-910 with the cover removed. Price wise, it is quite a bit cheaper.

I have not tested the TC-20T, but a search on the forum will find quite a few satisfied owners.

You're on the true path to nevada--vona?-- whatever.

$100 airbrush

$200 compresser

$ ?? thousands for hobby room

$??? hundreds in paint and "tools"

Most modeler has one compressor, 2-3 airbrushes. Guess how many $25 model kits he has? Tens or hundreds!!

keilau  What? how did you see into my room!?  Has my wife been talking ?

Geezer dont' forget to sign up at all the online venders (ie Squadren, Sprue Bros, etc) so you don't miss the  bounty they provide, in case your LHS hasn't got it all 

The compressor arrived with no damage. I ordered from Amazon, it shipped from TCP. It was inside another box with a fair amount of bubble pack material. Haven't tried it yet. No air brush.A number of years ago i had a fair number of kits in some various stages of completion and a couple that i used to experiment with. Like the old baseball cards, i with i had them now. They did not make it in a couple of moves....or at least i don't think they did. There are still a lot of boxes just where we put them a long time ago.

on the card table - Wright Flyer (started all this again), 1:48 SBD Dauntless.

In the box: 1:48 Lightning, 1:48 B-17

It dose look much like the Badger TC910 but the badger (the ones I had) were marked 1/6HP on the compressor (1/5 on box). These are suppose to be 1/5HP

In reality, they are 1/12 or 1/10 HP motors. Both of these compressors are made in China where the manufacturers have the habit of doubling their horsepower number. They justify that by using the impulse (startup) horsepower instead of the continuous horsepower.

A 1/6 HP compressor from China is comparable to a 1/12 HP compressor from Taiwan, Japan or US.

keilau, I did not know that, interesting info.
