Do you want one with an air tank reservoir or an on demand one like the one I have?

I find mine is quiet, great for 1/16 tanks and cheap too. It is a Mini Air Compressor (oil-less) Model AS 18 - 2. I paid about £50 and it came with a badger spraygun and all attachments. I bought mine from a company that advertises in the RCME magazine.

Hope this helps

Mike

Do a search on EBay for a company called SimpleTwoTrade, a 1/4 HP diaphragm compressor with water trap £49.99 + shipping, reasonably quiet, I use one with a Spraymater airbrush and it is perfect.
