thehennessyguy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I have a Sparmax ARISM compressor which cost me £116 a couple of months ago so it's relatively cheap for a compressor but its pretty small and sturdy but i am thinking of upgrading my brush to a more expensive type instead of this Sparmax max4 that came with the compressor. i read online that some airbrushes won't work with this compressor and I'm wondering does anybody know if a H&S infinity 2 in 1 would work with this compressor or if not what brush would work and would also be a upgrade from the MAX4 I'm using, Many thanks Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Looking at the compressor I would think you would have no problem with the H&S or any other similar airbrush using that compressor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-cars Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I can't see a problem with the H&S 0.15, 0.2 or 0.4mm nozzle sets. It may have problems with the 0.6mm nozzle set. With the sort of models you look to be building I would look at the 0.2 and 0.4mm nozzles. In an Infinity crplus 2in1 #2 or an Evolution silverline 2in1. http://www.modellingtools.co.uk/harder--steenbeck-infinitybr-crplus-2in1-airbrush---02mm04mm-nozzle-sets-and-2ml-5ml-paint-cups-13759-p.asp http://www.modellingtools.co.uk/harder--steenbeck-evolution-silverline-2in1-airbrush--02mm-04mm-nozzle-sets-and-2ml-5ml-paint-cups-3708-p.asp Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One last question though, Would i need to buy a new hose i saw the H&S airbrush has a quick release valve attached which is different to my MAX4 which has a threaded attachment. If i need a new hose and attachment how would i go about getting my hands on them? Many thanks Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 You shouldn't need a new hose, you can either just take the quick fit attachment off the h&s and screw the hose on direct. Or and this is the easier way, buy a quick fit connector for your hose and connect that way.So much easier to disconnect/reconnect your airbrushes that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a hose part with a built in regulator for £16, which can be of use in some setups. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Really ? thats pretty good news, i remember googling H&S quick release and the hose and coupling was £25 i can't find the exact webpage from the other day but i found the same hose on eBay for £22 so that confused me with the pricing haha Thanks Paul Brandon http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/380473717624?lpid=122&chn=ps&adgroupid=27378760866&rlsatarget=pla-181484357826&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=9045930&device=c&campaignid=620865095&crdt=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have googled a new bagged H&S hose. For flexibility we buy all the different fittings off H&S and make hoses to customers specifications. Just choose the connectors on each end and the hose length A standard 2m compressor to quick release hose would be £15.00. £4 for the compressor end, £9 for the airbrush end and £1 a metre for the hose. http://www.modellingtools.co.uk/airbrush-hose-to-your-specification-11792-p.asp Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
