Hi guys I had a really good xmas and got a testers compressor and a revell airbrush. The trouble i have is that the hose fittings are totally different the one on the compressor is massive compaired to the one on the hose for the airbrush.
Anyone got any ideas what i can do can i get a hose with the correct fittments on for each end or is there an adapter that i can use to reduce the size of the fitting on the compressor.

Take them to a hardware store and the guy in the plumbing section will get the right reducer for you.

technical it is probably an air condition fitting or something so he might not know. look i had the same issues with my Iwata airbrush and Paasche compressor. i found the parts at the hardware store.

I just got a compressor yeterday and the hose for my paasche vl srews right on to the compressor outet. Im going to go buy some fitting so I can put a water seperator on. YOu probably just need to go to a plumbing shop and get a bushing to reduce it from 3/4 inch down to 1/4 inchSometimes you might need 2 bushings to get to the size you need depending on the size you are starting out with
