I recently purchased a dedicated airbrush compressor to use with my Paasche millenium airbrush, what a significant difference a quality compressor makes! I started this hobby about a year ago and was frustrated with the results of my airbrushing I was trying to keep the cost down however my expectations of painting results were too high. Point is save yourself alot of grief and get a quality air brush and compressor, I picked up an Airbrush Depot TC196 for $170.00 it has a lots of nice features including an air storage tank that prevents pulsing, this hobby is back on track now and my Raiden Jack is looking good, picked up half dozen of these at a good price to work on my airbrushing skills.Tried a testors mini blue compressor and eventually threw it in the trash where it belongs

duh!!! you could use it as a spare when your primary compressor went dead.. or donate it to charity..
Hopefully the trash truck worker is a modeller...........
