                        Advice on airbrush compressor
                        Posted by modelbuilder on Thursday, August 17, 2006 10:09 PM
                        Hi all. Picked up a Paasche Millenium airbrush a few months back and have finally gotten the hang of it. Now I need a new compressor. The one I have is just a small piston compressor and I cannot control the airflow. I am thinking about getting one with a storage tank. Any advice on which is best? What features should I look for?

                        If you can't control the air flow, why not just get a regulator?

                        I would recommend the Paasche 500D, it comes with a regulator and I love mine. It is relatively quiet and reliable.
