looks to me like there ab130 model airbrush is similar to the one we all bought from fleabay ;D ;D

mine says hd130  ;) ;)

another side note i would personally recommend spending an extra couple of quid to get the tank model compressor as it wont give out a spurt of air but a continous supply
much better in my humble opinion ;)

Thats the exact same as the one I got out here. Its a very good compressor for beginners, and its not given me any problems in 9 months of use
[edit] @ Mike - Mine is rated at 1750 rpm, I see from looking at the pic that yours is 1450rpm, what is the working pressure on yours? (both mine and yours say 1/5 hp on the label, but that could mean anything) [/edit]

I agree that the initial blast of air needs to be pointed elsewhere before you start painting (altho you can sometimes use that to your advantage by using very small bursts to get a different effect), but once it reaches its continious operating pressure (about 30psi on mine) its perfectly usable.

Thats the one I've got (came with two airbrushes). I think it's a great hobby compressor.

Hi folks,

Now comes with _2_ airbrushes for £75 !!!!

http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/AIRBRUSH_KITS_AND_SPARES.html

And the compressor alone (though currently out of stock) is ~£57

Though I'm sure p+p will bump it up a bit though.

RDG are quite often at various shows, so you could spend your p+p money getting into some form of show to pick it up in person.

Anyone near Harrogate in May?
