2.5HP Air Compressor

[burnthebox]

Hi all, anybody know if this would be worth it's price, €69.99. in Aldi, while stocks last ! I know nothing about them, ( the Compressor, not Aldi ) & I don't think I would be buying one right now as I think it might be a bit too powerful for me for airbrushing one off's or so, something I have not yet undertaken,

Regards,

Looks decent enough. No harm in having a large compressor for air brushing. You can pressurise it once and there should be enough pressure to keep airbrushing for a good while with it powered off. They have a pressure regulator to reduce the pressure for the airbrush.

Crikey! A 30 kg compressor is handy all right if you're spraying the odd coach, only if you're modelling at 12 inch to the foot though. . Steer Clear!

That would be spot on for airbrushing and at a brilliant price you would also need to fit one of these

Forgot to say the moisture trap allows you to regulate the air pressure to whatever psi you want and the compressor will come on and top up every time it runs low

That compressor comes with a regulator fitted. I have an almost identical one and have used both airbrushes and spray guns and it works well.
