me almost 20th or maybe 22th project already with my mini compressor.. if you take good care of it..it will last long one la..the same with your airbrush..no problem with mine so far..always use less then 15min per session..then rest 15min..
btw..taking care of airbrush and cleaning them are very pain is the ass..very damn hard..but it worth it cause it will last longer with proper caring

Is it go extreme hot? Wow, like this airbrushing, will take sometime to finish the job. If you want airbrush 24hr nonstop, get the rotary compressor. It work great and run silently in the night. But I guess it hard to find now.

QUOTE(loongzai2 @ Oct 8 2006, 08:57 PM) so which of the iwata series is gd for spray gundam? As a rule of thumb,any Iwata is a good Iwata.I think the Iwata HP-CS should fit the bill nicely.But have to order from overseas and it'll burn ur wallet.If ur not experienced in airbrush,i reccomend getting like Sparmax Airbrush and learn to use it first.Once ur good with it,then go ahead n buy an iwata.My 2 sen oni.Like if ur gonna do just gundams,then an Iwata is a bit overkill.So get a Sparmax first then go on from there.

Thanks ntc3freak. Really expensive this iwata. The aztek look more value for money. One AB can tackle all size. And the price reasonable.
