Hi im only starting out on this and got really irritated with spray cans, i am now deciding on a compressor but not sure which would be good. Appreciate suggestions for a compressor. It doesnt have to be that powerful juz to suit my current skilland needs. Im into aircraft modelling by the way.
thanks in advance

I've come back to the hobby and was also looking for a compressor and airbrush.

Here is what i decided on..

Createx Stealth TC 5000 compressor
Iwata Eclipse (BCS)

I will be ordering these from www.dixieart.com as soon as my worktable is finished..

As far as which brand to go with I don't know what you have easily available near you. I will tell you I would look for the following features

• Pressure Regulator to control air flow
  
• Moisture trap (not so important because they are inexpensive AM parts)
  
• Tank resivour - great feature - worth the $ (IMHO) Fill it with air and the compressor is quiet.
  
• Long hose - helps with moisture
  

I agree with Slodder on that. Just go out and look for a compressor with the specs he mentioned and choose the best for your budget.
Ciao

thanks alot... Provided me with at least an idea on what to buy.

Anyone got any comments of an AZTEK AC300 features:
Piston style w/pressure relief valve, fan cooled motor, thermal cut-off switch, On/Off switch, CFM at working pressure, .51 @ 20 psi, 120v 50Hz 2.8 amp, 1/4 NPS air hose filtering, 6' power cord, inlet filter, internal and external isolation mount for quieter running.
or an AZTEK AC200:
Pressure gauge, moisture trap, oil-less operation, fan cooling, utomatic thermal protector switch, rubber suction feet, 25 psi under load, 10,000 hr. service life,

I use the Iwata Smart Jet and I love it. It is really quiet and only runs when you push the button. It also comes with the water trap and everything you need. I got mine for $169 US at Hungates.
