Excellent Forum

Hi all.
I don't post but read a lot about all ur post and your ways of making excellent models, i congratulate you all for your amazing jobs and advices.

Got my new AB and compressor (Iwata hi-line cH and a power jet lite)
Which any other parts you guys think i'll need for my AB or Compressor?

Thanks

:smile:

Welcome! Glad to hear you like it here. ;)

An airhose springs immediately to mind.

THanks.
never had an airbrush before always used air cans

It brings a 2 metre air hose. what are the springs?

Yes, I'd also like to know more about those springs... :)

airhose springs


yeah andy, whatz the springs for!?!?

They are so the airhose can leap energetically at my merest thought.

Actually, I don't use the springs much. Having the airhose bouncing its way around my workbench is rather nonproductive, and it gets tedious quickly. So I keep them boxed up with the other useless bits that came with my airbrush, like the bottle feed siphon.

Lexus220, your airhose and airbrush should work just fine without a set of springs. It's probably best this way.

Thanks MPWR.

you think it's worth buying those inline moisture trap?

you think it's worth buying those inline moisture trap?
100% you need a water trap. Whether it is an in-line version or a larger one (sometimes part of the regulator valve) does not really matter all that much.

well the compressor has already one but i think i would buy one so it helps in the grip for airbrushing and maybe a larger air hose

what kind of air hose would be better?

I use both. The inline trap supplements the regulator trap, but I don't think it works well enough to replace the regulator trap. With a regulator trap you may not need an inline also, but they're cheap and easy to install.

The most important thing about the airhose is that it fits onto your airbrush. Not all hoses will fit Iwata airbrushes, but adapters can be used to make them fit.

ok i might get the inline moisture trap

one of my problem is i think i got it wrong buying the hi-line there is an eclipse which can change its nozzle from 0.35 to 0.5.
mines can't, maybe later i might need a cheaper airbrush for the car body painting
