Purchased this 10 years ago, used for maybe 100 hours (took a long hiatus from the hobby). I'm upgrading to a larger unit. This one works great, super quiet, gives nice even flow and able to handle all pressures that most modelers use. I'm in Chicago, IL, and will ship at your expense but the unit isn't too heavy so shipping shouldn't cost too much. This is great unit since it's so quiet and compact (it's about a foot long, and less than that wide and high). Has built in adjustable pressure regulator (that locks if you want it to), an air release valve, as well as a stand for your airbrus

Hello all - I've decided I need to thin the stash, and I've got a few kits and accessories to sell. I'd really like to sell the kits with their corresponding accessories, but make me an offer if you're only interested in a portion of the package and I'll consider it. Also make me an offer if you're not so fond of the price (although these are already way below retail). Shipping isn't included; I'm shipping from NY, NY. I'll ship any way you want and anywhere you want, although default is the USPS. Contact me via PM or email: jonathan.fay@gmail.com. I can take payment by check, MO or Payp

YES! I've just been using the stirrers too, to stir paint, of course. But now that I know that a decent hardstand can be made out of the stirrers (and all of my old grounds can be used as a tanning agent of sorts), then the boundaries of the modelling/coffee worlds are ever expanding. Excellent advice! Decent, robust smelling models too! I wonder what other Starbucks merchandise can be used for modelling... Jon

Great builds! Really nice work. The weathering and paint-chipping is top-notch too Thanks, JON

I use straws, courtesy of Starbucks. I figure since I spend a zillion dollars on their beverages the LEAST they can do is fund my straw and paint-moving habit. They work just fine for me...

$93. Ouchie...

Joe - that thing is fantastic. The radar tower is really impressive with all of its level of detail. Great work ;) JON

Great builds! ;) Thanks for posting - JON

Terry - some really impressive, beautiful builds. Thanks for posting them! :unsure: Jon

Looking good Thom! Getting closer and closer to finishing this thing. And once you take those masks off it's reallly gonna look great! Jon

That is a GREAT natural metal finish. Really nice work. It should really look amazing too when all finished... JON

Ron - great build, and I think the weathering is perfect too. Thanks JON

Isaac - that looks great. How did you do the pigments, exactly? I picked up a set of some Mig pigments but I haven't used them yet but I'm going to soon, and curious how you did it. Once you do some exhaust staining too I think the rust is going to look perfect. Great build and thanks for posting! JON

Hear hear! I'd buy a bunch in 1/32 and 1/48. I'm getting more into doing aircraft wheels up and need modern pilots for those kits that come without them. Wish there was more available... JON

Ryan - thanks! Now I'll have 2x the tape that I can use in a lifetime! I'll have to go try and find it sometime and check it out. JON

Oh yea, saw this on another forum and headed down to my local Sherwin-Williams (paint store) and picked up 2 rolls - a 1" and 2" by 60 yards for $17. I now have more tape then I'll probably ever, ever need... The stuff is great, too, identical basically to the Tamiya product. JON

Great pics! Fantastic. Such variety too. Thanks - JON

Outstanding! You're out of your mind, but still outstanding! :) Thanks for sharing the pics. JON

Richard - great build. Those MGs are amazing. Please keep those pics coming! :) Jon

Rob - thanks for sharing, that's outstanding! I love big scale aircraft, and your work is really well done. I'm not aware of any 1/24 WWII figures, unfortunately. Please keep the posts coming. JON

Hey there - the build looks great, and the paint and weathering also looks fantastic and spot on. I'll have to build me one of these one day... :) Jon

Gosh - I'm not real impressed so far, honestly. I'm hoping that when I see the thing in real life I'll be more excited? I completed a 1/48 offering that was decent, but so far, the 1/32 pics just don't look that awesome. I bet the new pics will get me excited. Thanks for the photos, and I'm sure I'm going to have to build one of these. The bank account dwindles... :) JON

I found this out recently when I used the salt technique for the first time. I didn't really wash the salt off with water, however, but instead I just picked it off with a toothpick. So if you want some crystalline texture there, then just pick off the salt (and some small crystals stay behind); if not, then wash the salt off with water. Modelling is an art. Great work and a gorgeous phantom. JON

Looking great! Jon

Nice looking build so far. Please keep those pics coming. Jon
