Hello, I've been using a cheapy, brandless, Chinese airbrush for a while now and I'm looking to upgrade. The Badger Patriot seemed like it would fit my needs as a priming and base coating tool. But I was wondering how it connects to the air line? From all the pictures I've seen it does not look like the regular threaded connecter on my current airbrush. In my rig I have an air line with a 1/8 female screw-on end. I wanted to know if anyone out there could explain what the fitting on the Patriot is, and let me know what I would need to add to my rig to accommodate it.

Cheers.

I would recommend going to an online airbrush depot and searching for it there. I recommend TCPglobal.com to get all of your information needs.

Badger and Paasche use a different sized (smaller) fitting on the airbrush end of things than the German and Japanese (and Chinese knockoffs thereof). You can either get a new hose or get an adapter to convert the Iwata (style) hose for use with a Badger airbrush.
