Tamiya's Spray-Work Airbrush Set is it worth buying?
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 3, 2005 10:48 PM
I'm having difficulty choosing what to buy... do you guys think the tamiya's spray work airbrush set (with compressor) is worth buying or should I get the industrial type of compressor instead? Dead [xx(]


Maximum air-pressure: approx. 0.11Mpa (approx. 1.1kgf/cm2)
Maximum air output: 20 liters per minute (unburdened)

I don't think I'd have much use for it. You can get a lot better equipment for a little bit more money.

I agree, that would be ok for spraying RC Car bodies and such but for finer detail you could do better.

I got my Badger 155 kit (with hoses and bottles and all) for about $65.00 and a commercial compressor from Lowes Hardware for about $70.00 ... those work fine for all the modeling I have done since then.

For a little more you could get the Thayer and Chandler Airstar V for $99.00 reconditioned complete with regulator and moisture trap and be even quieter! (the commercial compressor is a little loud until you get used to it, about like a vacuum cleaner or blender, it only runs for a minute now and then to refill the tank though)

---edit---

I forgot to put the link to where you could find the model compressor:

it's towards the bottom of the page...
