The closer your moisture trap is to the actual airbrush, the better.

Good idea,also the outlet pressure gauge looks as if it doesn't read very low (5-25 psi). That might cause some headaches.

It’s blurred out in the pic a bit. It’ll do 15 & up no problem. Rarely use below 20 PSI though. The trap on my old compressor was this low as well, and never had an issue with moisture in the line.  It’s nicer having a 2 gallon tank instead of the 3liter tank that was on the No name compressor I had. Being on sale, and bigger tank is the reason I got it.  Can actually paint much longer now before it actually kicks on lol.

 I’m hoping the kobalt trap will work good. If there is a better way to set this up please let me know. Should I keep the trap straight like this? Or remove the extra coupling, and let it sit at a slight angle behind the tank? Angle isn’t that bad to where it’ll affect the trap.

@Dpate

What Bill said, use a trap at the airbrush.

Got a Round2 2021 Bronco at H.L. yesterday. I'll look at it this weekend.

Plan to build it as a Beach Patrol or Sheriff's unit depending on what decals I find.

'53 Ford pick-up. Found model kits hidden at the back of my local Wal-Mart. None of the 3 other subjects really spoke to me. And the nontoxic glue is a no-go for me.

FWIW the yellow car is a GT3 Spec car and the Pink Pig is a FIA/WEC-IMSA Spec GTE car. The RSR is quite a bit wider with completely different aero and is a different generation of 911 than the ADAC GT3 car.

I spent a year pushing, pulling and cajoling to get this sheet made. With it being done you can now build all three Black Falcon "Anime Cars" from the 2019 24H of Spa. This one was also a podium winner in that race.

Also the latest resin multimedia offerings from PZY/Kitbox and Alpha Model.

I believe 18 x10 at the rear,i believe the intake is the prototype.

So that intake manifold is not inherently incorrect it is the pre-production model it was the original it is highly sought after in the actual Cobra community there aren't many of them around as far as I know I decided to go with that over the production intake manifold The rest of it was scanned from a real engine so it is correct including the T56.

That's not a DTM car, that's a 24hrs of Nurburgring entry. 😎
