Well, this one is the only one i can find (and afford to buy) here in Serbia...




Is it any good? Im doing Armor and figures mostly (sometimes airplanes for friends) so i need something which will do at least a little better effect that brushes...

i dont know almost anything about AB, only thing i heard that this is a single-action AB and that it works with botles of compressed air.

hope someone will answer and help me

Hmmm... to me it looks like the Pactra 8818 marketed by Testors. I couldn't get mine to work worth a darn using canned air. I junked it. Maybe others have better luck with it.

Sensei, from the information I could find on this AB, it is just for spraying large areas. In other words it should work ok for spraying base coats and and uni color models. It will not be suited for spraying camo patterns or for any detail work. Large surface areas only.

One thing about using cans of air; they don't last very long. If you can, save for a while and get a compressor! It may take a long time to be able to afford one, but it's well worth the time.
Maybe there's a generous soul on the site who has an old compressor that he could sell to you.
