Title pretty much says it all. Should I airbrush the camo on my flames of war tanks and transports? I can do it, I have done it, but I've had a konigstiger for a couple of months, and can't get the bits I need for my compressor so I can airbrush again...and I'm getting a little impatient :/

Your Panzer Lehr half track looks good so i'd say go for it (when you fix the airbrush!).

Btw if you want cheap part or just a cheap replacement AB try here - http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/AIR_BRUSHES_AND_COMPRESSORS.html

Cheers, any idea what the shipping times are normally like?

And also, would one of the regulators with the turny bit at the top work on a compressor? Or do I need something with an electric cut off for the compressor?

I seem to remember that shipping was pretty quick. I'd suggest calling them, I found them to be pretty helpful.

As for your turny bit fixing to the top you'd have to be a bit more descriptive mate.

The first item on the page. Would it prevent my airbrush exploding if I wasn't holding down the trigger, or would I need something with an electric cut off to do that?

Is that really a concern?

Well I can't speak for the specifics as I am no engineer but I have that same device on my tanked compressor.

I believe these should do the trick as I have no other electronic wizardry to control air pressure.

What sort of compressor do you have?

Airbrushing really makes the German camo pop out, but you can get a pretty good camo effect with a brush. My FoW tanks are all brush painted:

I'm using a VERY old kestral compressor, 240v with a max pressure of 42psi. It doesn't have any kind of auto cut off, and even if I was to turn it off every time I stop spraying I'd have to pull the plug as it doesn't even have a switch :/
