Compressor specs?
Posted by KJ200 on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 3:18 AM
Currently looking to buy my first compressor, hence Werther post, and just want to know what PSI and CFM do I need to run a Badger 200? Bearing in mind I am developing a penchant for large Luftwaffe aircraft in 1/72 and 1/48!

Currently on the bench: AZ Models 1/72 Mig 17PF

The CFM isn't really important for airbrushing.
Most modellers spray anywhere from 15-30 psi, so most any compressor should cover that. Is this a diaphram compressor or a piston model? The diaphram models tend to pulsate the airflow and will need a holding tank to even out the airflow.
