I am in the hunt for an air compressor for air brushing my models - hope to see all the lastest hobby items at the Hobby Show in Chicago this weekend. I started thinking about my other hobby - air guns. I am also in the market for a carbon fibre tank to fill up my pre-charged air gun. (Scuba shops and in some cases Fire dept. will fill these tanks)
Here is the link to a carbon fibre tank - http://www.airhog.com/tanksets.htm - airhog.com also sells regulators and such. They are not cheap but I do need one for air gunning and I might as well see if it works for airbrushing.
Now a carbon fiber tank will hold a 4,500 psi charge - thats right 4,500 - and has a life span of 15 years. I would think a 88 cu. ft. tank with 4,500 PSI and the correct regular/moisture trap would not only take care of my air gun needs (air guns take 3,000 psi and this tank will fill it about 45 times) but also any air brushing needs.
Any thoughts on whether or not folks are using metal scuba tanks or carbon fibre tanks for this.
