Hi John

what a bummer!

Check out Graphic Air. I've bought most of my new gear from them and they are really friendly and helpful.

They've got a 33P70D Diaphragm Compressor for £120 inc. VAT, but you might want to add a moisture trap/regulator to it.

All the best

try ebay - I got a new air brush and compressor for £100. Well pleased with it.

Just done a quick search on ebay but I cannot find one like mine.

I found a tamiya compressor £55 + $30 delivery
item no. 5919814731

Hi John, stay away from the £23-00 airbrush, many incl screwfix are selling this item. I bought one and although it is better than a ‘spray gun’ it is not for detail usage at all! Rather save your money for a Badger, Iwata, Aztek or similar!

Checkout this link for some really good prices on airbrushes;

Thanks for that warning on the airbrush thought it was too good to be true, i will go with the spyder3,i had a revell gamma it only lasted a year then the piston arm came off and chewed the guts out of the thing, never mind. thanks for all your help
