Dave, I don’t have any experience with the Testor’s compressor, but you might want to look at the site below.

www.compressorsolutions.co.uk/compressors_catalogue.html

Note the prices are excluding VAT.

I bought the Werther 3, which I have now used for almost a year, and found to be excellent.

Nice choice on the 100, I’m sure you won’t be dissapointed.

I have heard both good and bad things about The Testors Blue Compressor, mostly bad…

My AB is double action Paasche VL, easy to clean, and will do the job just as well as anything else (IMHO), its practically kiddie proof. Some people don’t like the thickness of it and prefer the thinner profile of Iwatas and Badgers.[#dots]

Dave, glad I could help.

That’s the only problem with Mainly Trains, but then then they do have a catalogue of over 10,000 items.

Compressor solutions did me a good deal on the Werther, but they do plenty of other makes as well.

Hi Dave, I have the same setups like Karl, a Badger 200 & an Omni 4000. The 200 is the NH, siphon feed. After using the Omni 4000 with it’s mounted color cup, I’m seriously thinking of replacing the 200NH with the 200G, just because I like the way that configuration works for me. As for the Aztek, I can say that they don’t compare very well with the Omni because I own & have used both. Yes I did get a fairly decent freehand camo out of the Aztek once, but it was difficult to say the least. Every so often the paint would start to spatter & I’d have to clean the tip off before resuming painting. I had to use it because it was proving very difficult with the 200NH. Of all the airbrushes on that link you posted, I would say WAIT & SAVE YOUR MONEY$$$ Go with the Omni 4000, IMO it will probably give you the best buy & performance.
