Members Mikester Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 after several months away, get the cockpit together, break out the RLM 66, load up the airbrush, turn on the compressor and nothing. Time to shop for a new compressor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted December 19, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2016 I got this Revell electric compressor for my 18th b-day. 23 years ago. Still works like a dream and never used anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyVM Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 A few weeks ago i broke down with my old trusty compressor so i needed a new one.

Members Mikester Posted December 20, 2016 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2016 The dollar to yen exchange rate is really good right now so chances are I'll be shopping for something locally, the local hobby places usually have a few models to choose from.

Gunner Mike Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Howdy Mikey, Happy Holidays. Regarding air compressors........ I have gone from a large industrial compressor in my garage, with a 50 foot airline to my man cave. Mice ate the rubber airline. I used a Grex compressor (very nice) for about 2 years. But I took some advice from my squiddly TVMC co-founder (Pauli) and am now using a compressed air tank. This is the best. No noise, no moisture and the cost for entire set up was about $100. I have the HK B-17G on the bench now. Doing a Frankenstein using the starboard fuselage of the E/F kit and the tail gun. I will have an early G with un-staggard waist guns and the earlier tail gun. The plan is to sell parts off the new kit to offset the price. Happy New Year- we miss ya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much room in the man cave so I went with a Wave compressor, looks very similar to my Grex compressor, I suspect that they're basically the same unit with just the add-ons being different. Only about $115 with the current exchange rate, so not a bad deal. https://hlj.com/product/WAVLT-21 HK B-17 sounds cool, still need to add one to my stash!

Icarus529 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Why not build your own silent air compressor? Less than $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
