yes, sad but true…my aging sprite major now rests in pieces in my workshop, parts worn, seals torn. I have aircraft ready for paint, and can’t spray them. its so frustrating!! So, as my kits won’t paint themselves-I’ve ordered a shiny new Iwata HP-C…(Drool…!!) I can’t wait to get my hands on it and crack on with my models! In the meantime, I have started building a tank to while away the lonely hours… Darren.
Ouch.
Good news!! My new compressor/airbrush arrived this AM and I’ve spent most of the day painting!! Now I’m a happy man. 
Sniff sniff, that is one of the happiest endings I’ve seen in some time. Enjoy your new Iwata. [:)]
Thanks Tigerman, I’m sure we’ll have many happy workshop years together…“sigh”
