Dr_PepPeR Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 May problem ang Tamiya Spray Works compressor. my compressor's gasket dried / cracked up after around 5 years & you have to replace the whole unit (e.g. disposable). I just jerry rigged my airbrush now to an ordinary compressor. Pwede kasi rubber tubing (like in the hospitals) naman kasi yung air hose.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey galing ah! I never thought about using rubber tubing for the airhose. I always have a problem with Badgers, you had to use a Badger airhose with them because the connection to their airbrush is non-standard. I was looking at connection adapters to remedy this but I still don't know if it will work with the airbrush. Thanks again for the tip! Quote Link to comment

It's the standard air supply hose supplied when you buy the Tamiya set. It does get yellow (but still not brittle) with age. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 hi guys...........<{POST_SNAPBACK}> What kit are you working on now sir? Quote Link to comment
Experiment 626 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 yung mga cheap kit *500-900* ok ba yun pang trial and error ??<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depends on the model subject. 1) Aircraft - already expensive for 1/72 & 1/48 aircraft. You can buy 1/72 aircraft at around P1702) Armor - low end price of 1/35 armor (Trumpeter, old Academy)3) Naval - puro malilingit na 1/700 kits lang ito4) Sci Fi - if you consider the cheapo Macross knock offs, they're expensive (they cost at around P150) If you want to practice with no PTSD regarding your cash outlay, I suggest you get the Academy planes na 1/72 or armor na 1/72 (available na) or the P1/144 aircraft. Maliliit nga lang. I think you can get a low end armor na 1/35 for P400 Quote Link to comment

I was able to get a 1/48 Hind for less than P400 so I bought the two versions. Did I ever mention that I have about 600+ unbuillt kits? My wife thinks I'm a scale model kit collector and that I should be posting on the colletors thread. Quote Link to comment

Planes, cars, armored vehicles (tanks, etc), ships, scifi?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> sci fi *robots yung gundam* ,modern armored vehicles at war planes/copters>.< nabli ni kuya na f -15 cheap at bradley mga peke pero ang mahal Y_Y Quote Link to comment
