![]() 282 forum posts 67 photos | Evening all. Are 'hobby' sized airbush connections standardised (e.g. propane cylinder regulators)? I bought a cheap ebay compressor airbrush set (was going to see how far I could go with it), and now wish to upgrade the airbrush - to the linked Harder & Steenbeck - and am hoping that my existing mositure trap will screw into this airbrush. https://www.everythingairbrush.com/airbrushes/harder-steenbeck-airbrushes/airbrushes-harder-steenbeck-airbrushes-harder-steenbeck-airbrushes-ultra/harder-steenbeck-ultra-2-in-1-airbrush.html Any advice gratefully received. |

1468 forum posts 3 photos | Just gone through a similar scenario but i needed a new air line . Seems most use the same thread but iwata and a few others use a different one 1/8 bsp i think . You can get adapters off ebay for most guns although i have a realmcheap gun that uses fittings that are around 5 mm , it is cheap junk but good for priming so i will adapt it to my other fittings . Any thoughts on paasche guns ? I have a cheap diaphragm compressor and want to add a small air tank to it , possibly from a small fire extinguisher or gas bottle . i only use it for my model engines or static models like 1:72 scale models but it seems to work well . |

(going to Hereford this Sunday to The WaterWorks Museum via A14, M6, M5 if you wanted to meet en route) PM me if any good. Howard |
