Cheaper compressor from a non-modelling source

Saw this on Taobao. First one is about GBP35, the second one with a digital regulator is GBP60.  Not sure about shipping to UK but by sea maybe another GBP30-35?

Seems like buying from non-modelling shops may be cheaper. you have to get your own water separator which is cheap.

Maybe - but after postage probably no cheaper than the "generic" Chinese airbrush compressors available on Amazon

Of course this is a more powerful beast and may have wider applications for some. Personally I'd have a problem with the size. Also I can't see how noisy it is which could be an issue for many.

 

With regard to buying from non-modelling shops, I agree that we sometimes appear to get ripped-off for stuff allegedly designed for modellers, and it does pay to look around other shops for potential modelling tools

 

Cheers
