This model looks really nice. I like the one color livery without the white side coves. Well done! ? Joe

Some primer and a surge protection electrical power cord to use with my new paint booth. Joe

This afternoon I changed out the original 90 degree aluminum elbow. The elbow was made up of thin aluminum segments that deformed easily and allowed the individual segments to separate from the tracks holding the elbow together. This also allowed air to escape through the segment tracks back into the shop. Not good. The new elbow is of heavier material and works out much better. Now I can move the booth with attached piping away from the window without deforming the elbow and the addition of a few pieces of actual aluminum ductwork tape took care of the minimal air leaks. Much better, and I noticed that the fan operation was quieter after the change out of the elbow. Joe

Hi David, Not sure about the air pressure at the window, however, there is about 8 - 9 feet of equivalent 4” piping with my installation which includes a 3’ equivalent pipe length for the 90 degree 4” elbow. And I installed the vent screen. I can say that with the booth fan operating there is plenty of air pressure at the vent to fully open the vent flaps, which I went outdoors to check out firsthand. I also checked the air draw by lighting a couple of small matches, blowing out the flame, and watching the air pull on the match smoke. Took the smoke right out through the booth with a strong air draw. I am quite happy with the installation. I am including a photo of the fan draw from the instructions for your viewing. Joe

My new paint booth is now installed and works great. Today I had the hopper glass in a basement window replaced with a piece of Lexan as the original glass was only 1/16” thick single pane. A 4” hole was drilled through the Lexan and the the paint booth piping installed. I am now able to easily pull the booth with attached piping clear of the exhaust hole in the window and I can then simply insert a 4” cap into the hole to seal it off. Here are a few photos showing how it came out. Joe

I sure enjoyed looking at these models. Thanks for sharing the photos with us. Well done! ? Joe
