Testing Amazon's Cheapest Air Compressor With A Tank - For Airbrushing

[@UB6IB91314]

Feel sorry for you that those scammers are haunting your channel and thank you so much for thinking of the genius way to avoid them. The heart that you put into your videos really show how much dedication and caring to your audience, thank you!!!

[@greenscorpion1]

There on all channels unfortunately

[@mariomonreal1563]

I love it gets the job done

[@jschutts]

I've been retired now for about a year since I was the victim of an armed robbery that left me with a handicap. Before that I was heavily into plastic models and have picked them up again both as a hobby and as therapy... I have been following your shows for advice as well as ideas for some time and have found you to be very knowledgeable and straight forward...Keep up the great work... Joe...

[@JohnnyWrongo-b9l]

DUE TO A debilitating illness or three, I have returned to scale modelling and started sculpting and painting polymer clay as both a hobby and mental therapy. It has helped me tolerate what life has become and helps my wife to tolerate me. :) I did this stuff decades ago before I had access to KZbin and people such as our man Barbados Rex BRx has made this a Much easier and less expensive learning process. Now that I have a bit of money to spend on it, BRx has saved me from a couple of money wasting purchases, helping me to get more and better stuff with what I spend. Wishing you the best with the recovery and the modelling therapy.

[@keithsquires4985]

I have been getting into modelling as therapy since I left the military due to medical reasons. Your channel has been a wealth of information and makes me excited to learn airbrushing and experiment with some of the paints you have reviewed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Keep up the great work!

[@SailingSarah]

Great therapy modeling is 😊 hope you feel better soon! 💖

[@barbatosrex9473]

Hello there Keith my friend, congratulations you were picked as the winner of this compressor & airbrush combo. Contact me using the email address in the description above and I'll get your info and send it out to you. Robert AKA Barbatos Rex

[@goirish560]

Congratulations. I pray you have a long, healthy and happy retirement.

Thanks for your service , and Barbatos you rock and roll , thanks for doing what you do....

@@robertclassicconstructiona1830 thanks Robert, great name

[@huwtindall7096]

Got this exact same compressor. Don't do as much airbrushing as you but has been flawless for 2 years now. Great value.

[@NWCdunnite]

Barbatos, I am FREAKING out~! I would swear I already commented here and SAW this video already. My history shows no other viewing and YT indicated I hadn't "watched" this one. Is this a 'do-over' with the original removed? Did I DREAM this?!? I really appreciate your reviews of tools, especially airbrushes and compressors as I am getting ready to jump back into models, painting, terrain building, etc. I would SWEAR I saw this exact same video two or three days ago, pretty much word for word, image for image. Like I said, I'm slightly freaking out, because if you didn't air this, remove it and re-place it online, then I need to join the Psychic Network! Just for reference, I haven't built or made anything for nearly two decades. I have never had an airbrush and only have my OLD gear from when I was a teenager (62 now). Keep up the efforts! It IS appreciated!

[@MrKswildman]

I have been collecting models since 1975. As a disabled vet, I'm just now starting to put some of my models together, my model skills are up there, but you have truly done things I've never thought of, now since I watch your channel, I take my modeling to a new level. Thanks for All you do!

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

Thank you for your service God bless

[@Fred-wu9rt]

Thanks for your service my friend!

[@paulnicol9995]

I bought one of these compressors from amazon a few months back under the "Fengda" brand for £75 pounds sterling. I've had it four months now and it is a great little compressor. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take their first steps in airbrushing as you can also buy them with an airbrush and starter kit also. Love the channel Barbatos....keep em vids coming fella. ;-)

[@dedtheros2848]

You are honestly one of the only hobby channels i watch for tools and such. I hope you keep it up and continue to keep pushing out content.

[@neilteitelman2428]

Just took delivery of this very same unit and so far it is flawless. Thanks for the review.

[@nevilleshrimpling5341]

Did modelling back in the in 1985 my grandparents got me a model most weekends as a young boy, now 50 and I'm back modelling again with fond memories of doing models round my grandparents and hanging them on my grandparents bedroom ceiling until one or two decided to fall of the ceiling and go on a bombing raid on my grandparents bed I just wish we had great channels like this back then I can't tell you how much help it has been to have you channel to turn to, thank you for all you hard work

[@Zelvii-]

im honestly kinda impressed how well the "budget" options are coming along these days. It will really help get loads more people into the hobby~

[@burner8959]

Well I'm glad there was more to the video! I'll repeat what I said on the previous upload. I just wanted to say thanks. I recently got back into rc car building again after 25+ years and after watching more than a few of your videos I was able to find some products that helped me out and that I was very pleased with. I was thinking about possibly getting into air brushing and here you go with this video. You do amazing work man keep it up!

[@spaghettijustice]

Thanks for always testing out all these wonderful products for us! The spoon/paint tests have helped a ton in selecting brands and colours!

[@joewhitmore8474]

Just getting back in the hobby and are amazed how things have improved. Hopefully I can catch up and improve where I left off.

[@hope4ourfallen]

That was really nice of you to do😊❤ Hoping your kind gesture helps Keith find the outlet he needs, and that the same kindness returns back to you and your loved ones Robert🙂

[@Scuzzms]

I'm new to Gunpla and your videos have been a great reference for the craft. I appreciate what you're doing for the modeling community. I just want to thank you for doing what you do and I look forward to future uploads.

[@PoisonerSG]

your videos have been monumental in deciding the paints and tools to buy for a beginner trying out airbrushing. very glad i found your channel. your hard work is very much appreciated 👏

[@JerryPark_dataman]

Haven’t built a model since a bottle of pactra paint was something like 35 cents😂! Now that I can afford the tools that I could only dream of as a kid, this is very encouraging gateway into getting back into the hobby.

[@SHIZZILANILLA]

I watch your videos every week and you have taught me so many valuable lessons not only with how to airbrush and mix paint but more importantly how to save money and buy quality products. THANK YOU!

[@stevewagstaff7250]

As much as I really only paint minis and busts these days I find your channel to be one of the best ones for anyone in any area of the paining/model area. Your honest reviews are always on point!

[@HighwayHobbies]

I was wondering what happened last night! Your videos are amazing! You motivated me to get back into scale modeling. Can't say enough good things about your channel.

[@bryanbeers7209]

I really appreciate your fair and balanced testing procedures, especially as they relate to paints, airbrushes and compressors. Keep up your important observations to assist us in the modelling community. You're saving us dollars and headaches! All the best!

[@cheetocabra]

I finally got my first airbrush over the holidays, and your videos have been huge in helping me troubleshoot acrylic painting with it. Thanks for being so informative and thorough!

[@terryault7128]

I have never used n airbrush. Considering trying one on a rc model sail boat I am building. A good honest informative review Thanks, Terry Ault.

[@Gantann]

I just dipped my toes into Gunpla in December and I've been consuming a lot of videos about modeling equipment and tips and yours have been some of the best! Definitely stuff I can see myself coming back to to review over the years if I stick with it. Really interested in getting into painting and airbrushing eventually so this video in particular is helpful for lowering the perceived barrier of entry.

[@Jack2Japan]

Been watching your channel for over a year. Unique approach on paint and tools for modelers. I take your recommendations seriously. Keep up the great work.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend

[@hawaiianbadboi808]

Aloha from Maui. Used to build models when i was a young boy. Just started to collect them again and started my first build..just need to find time and get consistent days off . Great channel. Very informative.

[@hiramabiff2017]

I am not after winning a thing sir 😇, but your channel was instrumental enticing me back into modelling after a 20 yr break. With the spare room now empty I bought a bench and over 8mnths went on a spending spree , mostly with Airfix as I am in the UK, I even purchased the " Dora " and was lucky enough to secure dozens & dozens of Humbrol tin oil paints before they stopped making them. Never used a Airbrush before, but watched your vids and practiced on anything I could lay my hands on & went overboard buying a spray booth as well. Tools/puttys/stands/extra decals etc etc ...I was like a kid let loose in a sweetshop buying 1/24 scale planes I had only dreamed of. My bench & shelves look like a model shop and I count 44 unmade kits ranging from 1/72-1/24.....I would open the spare room door and look at " My Precious " hobby all gleaming n looking smart while I was drooling knowing that Jan/Feb will see me having all the time I need to get serious/funky with my modelling again. My son split up with his fiancé last week & asked to move back home into the spare room😳🥺😭......FFSK is the no justice in this world !!!

[@droopycaledonia7045]

I’m pretty much brand new to airbrushing & your videos have been so helpfull and I really appreciate you for everything I've learned from you. I originally bought one of those $70 during the lockdown but the gun never worked properly so I got frustrated after a few months of the constant clogging-cleaning-clogging go 'round but I never stopped watching your videos. I was eyeballing the Iwata Neo until I saw your video on the Neoeco & when someone asked me what I wanted for xmas that was the one & only thing I asked for and oh boy! Sprays great, never clogs, cleans so easy - I am soooooo glad I watch your videos👍👍👍👍 The one thing about it I can't figure out is how to attach the hose to the rechargeable battery power compressor from my first one. Maybe it's missing a fitting in not aware of. Anyway, I'm sure that with all your commenters I have about zero chance in this g'way but man would it be great to have a legit compressor like this. Anyway, thank you & please keep up all the great work!!!

[@styrenerelics]

To bad you had trouble the first time with this. Hope everything goes well with this. Thanks so much for doing this. I could use it.

[@dennisokeefe1132]

I think your reviews are pretty good and unbiased helps me make a decision on what compressor I want to get

You can't go wrong with this one, I use it every day, it's great

This is a very helpful video for me I'm about to start painting my RC cars myself thank you

[@edwardcora5446]

Very helpful video just getting into model making an airbrushing trying to decide what compressor to get was actually looking at this one on Amazon. I’ve seen a couple of your videos very helpful. Thank you.

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome Edward

[@NedHughes-fj5qw]

Definitely appreciate how quiet those compressors are. My current one came from the same place you got your Fortress from and I have to use foam earplugs when I'm using it.

[@PhilipGartrell]

At 50+ years old I'm just getting back into model making since I was a kid. I struggle with wanting to learn more before I start and just starting and learning as I go. I have found your videos and information simple but yet very informative. Thank you!

[@Steele68HS]

I too have a noname Compressor and using it since 7 Years 2 to 3 times a week for 2 Hours at most each session. The unit holds well. Seeing You doing Your magic always thrills me to get to that standard.

[@wulangindrianto4870]

I've been using a generic version of this compressor. It works great. At the $80 price point, you get absolutely everything you want (tank, regulator, quiet noise) in a compressor for model painting. The only airbrush I use at the moment is Madworks airbrush, would love to expand my selection with the sparmax.

[@bernardc2553]

So grateful after 50plus yrs I've found my modeling again, Its that missing link I needed. This Compressor & Airbrush would bring so much to my reborn hobby especially what I've learned watching this Stellar Channel!.

[@quintonx9774]

I’m new to the airbrush community and I bought a Paasche TG talon that broke at the nozzle and the needle bent the first day of use. I could definitely use this setup.

[@suncrow1644]

This channel is such a wealth of information, I've been binge watching your videos for days to prepare myself to get into airbrushing properly after a few years of just snapbuilding. Love the no nonsense style of the videos, it gets straight to business and shows exactly what it needs to show.

[@millar876]

I’ve been using the 240v uk version of this since august and have zero complaints. I’d previously been using a tankless compressor and I don’t paint enough to justify a bigger/more expensive compressor.

[@pbford71]

Hi Robert, I just wanted to say Thank You for this review. I was on the fence between the Timbertech and the Vivohome compressor. USPS delivered the Timbertech compressor & the Neoeco airbrush today, 1/24. The compressor is quiet & runs the airbrush just fine. I am very impressed & happy with my purchase. $125 and I am back in the airbrushing business with good equipment. Thanks again for all you do in these reviews.

[@brianth6554]

I've said this before but ill say it again, your vids are great! I realize that your videos take a lot of time and preparation just to answer some questions we have and don't think your work has gone unappreciated! your videos have help me immensely whether its monetarily or info wise! thanks so much

[@frankdelarosa9527]

Just the video I was looking for, thanks!

[@matthewpelkey7721]

I have the old version. I usually don't use it for more then half an hour to an hour at a time, but it's been going strong for 4 years now.

[@albatros7281]

I have one quite similar and It,s working perfect two years already. Very Happy with It

You got super lucky I bought one 2 weeks ago and the pump didn't work at all but I do have a extra tank now .love all of your work love what you do

[@papillon4537]

I am a French man and I often watch your videos. I appreciate your paint material testing. I also learned some good stuff thanks to you. I think I will buy this little compressor which seems very good. So thank you for all these tests ... Just a small question : Have you done tutorials for Fluorescent airbrushing paints? Thanks a lot of .🤩

[@MrTeedubleyew]

Major thanks for this. Just recently picked up miniature painting and am looking into picking up an airbrush. I live in a condo with downstairs neighbors so sound level being quiet is a must. Cheers!

[@TheBlueberry606]

Great set. Im doing chemo currently with stage 4 cancer. Im going to see how many of my stash I can get done before im taken. Airbrush is the way to go for sure.

[@apuls74]

I haven’t built models in over 25 years and have never airbrushed, but have painted Navy aircraft. Your videos are great!!!

[@Blu3ManiC]

I had the previous version of this without the fan and with the moisture trap directly on the front of the tank. Got rid of it cuz the way the moisture trap was on the tank I noticed it would rust up so I didn't feel safe keeping it. It was like $58 so not a huge loss. Love that it looks like they fixed that issue.

[@michaelvalencia3537]

Thanks for this review, i bought this compressor and love it. I cannot emphasize enough how quiet this is. So much quieter than it sounds on the video.

[@charliejeffrey4136]

I've been building models for a few years but I always come here to see the tests on the new stuff that hits the market, I've learned a lot and have bought several things you tested. . Keep up the good work.

[@Saand1338]

This style of tanked compressor are really good for the price. My compressor of this type died last year after 7 years of service, and during that time it powered my airbrush and ran the few low PSI air tools I use without any trouble at all.

[@jeffm8188]

I've had a fortress for several years, using to airbrush and blow out sewing machines for repairs. Hasn't got louder, doesn't lose air, and works like a champ.

[@mortisangelica]

I got one of those tank less compressor 11 years ago, it is starting to show its age and needs replacement. The best thing I did was get a huge 2 inch gauge that reads up to 60 psi instead of that tiny pressure gauge.

[@MegaKLOWNIE]

[@waltwhite1646]

I just bought this compressor 2 months ago - IT RUNS FANTASTIC ! - only runs when needed to fill the tank as you use air ! ... I trust Timbertech so much, I just bought their $25 gravity airbrush with 3 needles/3 cups and can spray 2mil - 7mil lines ! P.S. I'm a novice airbrushed, just learning !

[@dimsminiatures7211]

I live where it gets cold in the winter and had resigned myself to just priming models with a spray can during the last bit of fall to last me, but I recently hooked up a cheap airbrush my wife bought years ago and never used and in doing so found your channel when I was researching cleaning/maintenance. Unfortunately it came with a very cheap tankless compressor where I have no idea what PSI this thing is putting out so my results have been... mixed so far so this video was very timely for me! Definitely going to look into this one.

[@-kratos-1526]

Coming to your channel for the first time a couple days ago. I have brush painted war game miniatures for a long time. Never thought using an airbrush was necessary. Been binging your videos for the last two days!! So much great content on here. Can’t say thank you enough for opening a whole new world to me in this amazing hobby!!

[@trollinc-es2lh]

I also have a 1 gal. Fortress. It's fairly quiet, but I have a small airbrush compressor without a tank and that thing runs constantly causing water to build up quickly in the hose. A tank is definitely a necessity if you use it more than 20 minutes at a time. I too think all the compressors are made exactly the same... distributed from the mothership.

Looks like a nice unit. ThinkingI want to get in to scale modelling again.

Glad to see you check out this compressor. I was looking at getting this exact model, since it's hundreds less than most other airbrush compressors from the makers. Thanks for all the great product reviews. Helps a lot.

[@nismojukerich2994]

I just discovered your channel last week and I love the variety of content. The reviews, the different testing videos, the large assortment of different types of model kits you build. Will definitely be going through the backlog of videos. I fell away from the hobby for a few years and just getting back into it. Thank you for the great content. Can definitely tell you put a lot of time and effort into your videos.

[@donavanhillman7607]

Good review! I have one very similar I bought from Amazon a couple years ago. Works perfect, and I've never had any issues with it. So well that I bought a second one after the first one I had before got stolen. Felt no need to upgrade. I can appreciate your efforts to thwart the scammers. Good luck to you!

[@MadMikeee72]

It's reviews like this that make me love this channel. You show that you do not need 10 grand worth of equipment to enjoy the hobby. I have never airbrushed before but this may make me.

[@danb2605]

Starting airbrushing in the new year. Using it to dye leather rather than models, but your videos on the equipment and technique have been so valuable.

[@frankeva941]

I like your detailed reviews - they are very helpful! I might buy this compressor to replace the Sparmax, which is sounding very loud, and might be beyond repair.

[@BOSN_BAITS]

That was genius to stop the scammers, Love the videos you make very informative and non biased opinions

[@neorthlas6554]

I have started airbrush and modeling recently because of your videos, you it made look easy. I also find your videos to be practically informative and I really like your modeling accessories reviews, which very helpful to me if I want to up my game with accessories are worth the buck. Keep up the great work.
