The 'Master' series of airbrushes/compressors are TCP Globals house brand of items from China. Have a friend who has couple of their AB's and he's happy with them. I used a HF compressor - same as tankless one from TCP (Master) and it worked fine (still does but I got one with a tank). You'll get mixed reviews on here but IMHO they're not bad for the price.

The compressor looks the similar. The difference is in warranty, 2 years from TCP and 90 days from HF.

I have that one too . Works great for what i use it for . Saved on compressor and bought nicer air brush.

The Air Pressure Regulator Will leak ,  you need to use plumbers tape where it connects to the compressor .

If you're talking about this air compressor, that's what I use. Works good. Why go through ebay when you can get it for $80 from tcpglobal.com?

The "Master" brand is a Chinese knock-off of Iwata.

Not heard of Master, could you link to the item in question?

Depends where you are, generally it would be better to get it from your country of origin,

eg, the US Uses 110V, most of Europe 240V, with different plugs, other places vary.

Also the P&P will be humungus from any other country.
