  1. I already have a screamer Porter Cable pancake compressor for my air nailers. I think this compressor will work great for my airbrushes.

    I went with the 2 gallon simply because it isn't physically a great deal larger, and I use it for other tasks around the house. The 1 gallon is a little bit quieter than the 2 gallon, which is already pretty quiet. Hope it works out for you.

  2. I appreciate everyone's opinions and comments. I bit the bullet and took a chance and bought the Fortress 1 gallon compressor. Harbor Freight had a coupon this past weekend for $25 off on anything over $100. So I got the 1 gallon compressor for $144 including tax. It has dual pistons and a larger tank than the airbrush compressors I was looking at so I'll see if I made a good choice.

    Modelroundup and Wes's Model Car Corner both show the kit in stock, have you considered either of them for the kit?

    The kit Is the California Flash Plymouth A990. Wes is sold out and Modelroundup doesn't list it (they had one OOP a while back and it was around $80).

    Did they charge you for the kit? The second shipment of parts?

    It's possible they misunderstood what you were looking for or more likely, the customer service rep who took your message was not familiar with what should have been in the kit. Keep in mind these kits are run in a factory and the parts are packaged there into a kit. If the kit was sold out they possibly didn't have the correct parts to create the kit as you wished.

    They said they could put one together (California Flash Plymouth A990), I paid full retail plus shipping $43 total. When I notified them I specified the parts that were missing, they sent most of the correct parts but not all of them. I just went back through the other 5 kits I purchased (Plymouth Belvedere I,Dodge Coronet, Dodge Coronet A990, Golden Commandos Plymouth AWB and the Dave Strickler Dodge AWB) and managed to find the missing pieces that just happen to be extra parts in some of  those kits. They could have just pulled the correct parts from the Dodge A990 which are the same for both kits in the first place.

  5. I have recently purchased several of the new Dodge/Plymouth kits (looking forward to building them) As for their customer service not happy. I recently emailed them about possibly purchasing the Plymouth A990 kit since everyone is sold out. They said they could put one together. When I received the kit it had all the parts to build the stock Belvedere kit not the A990 were in the box. After an email and a couple of phone calls, they said they would send the correct parts. Received my package, still missing all the correct parts along with some wrong ones. I guess I'll have to buy another Dodge A990 kit to get all the correct parts. Disappointing.
