Show us your airbrush set ups
Discussion
I have hand-brush painted my 1:72 Airfix kits since my daughter bought me one the a Christmas before last. Been very envious of you airbrushers.
So when I visited UK at Crimbo I picked up a cheap airbrush, meaning to give it a go on my new Mosquito model.
The shop sold cans of propellant to power that kind of brush, but it seemed to be the kind of thing that would be very illegal to transport in the hold of an aeroplane, so that was out.
I thought that a normal 12v tyre-inflating air compressor would work. Wrong. Not even a dribble of spay emerged.
My next attempt was a bicycle pump, and an inflated bike tyre. Nope, the tyre kept bursting (it was a bit ropey anyway).
My next attempt might be a large coke bottle or similar, pressurised by the s
t 12v tyre compressor, using the coke bottle as a sort of regulator.
Anyway, let’s see your elegant compressor set-ups.
Cheers
