I have been building kits off and on for about 5 years now. Using spray cans I just have been using the most basic paint schemes. I recently bought a Badger Patriot, but the compressor I bought was Master Airbrush compressor. The following are the specs on the compressor.
Type: Single Cylinder Piston Compressor
Power: 1/6 Horse Power
Voltage: 110-120V / 60HZ
Air Control: Pressure Regulator with Gauge and Water Trap Filter.
Air Delivery: 23 Liters/Minute; 0.7 CFM @ 50 PSI
Working Pressure: 12-35 PSI
Auto Stop/Start: Stop at 57 PSI, Start at 27 PSI
Maximum Pressure: Factory Preset at 57 PSI
Connections: 1/8'' BSP
Dimensions: 6.0" H x 5.0" W x 9" L
Electric Cord: 6 foot
I am currently deployed overseas and did not think that there would be a connection issue with the badger patriot but there is. Can anyone tell me what I need to buy to get the Patriot up and running with my current compressor. Thanks for any help in this matter.

Are you having a problem connecting the hose to the compressor?

It is an issue connecting the airbrush to the hose.

The hose connection is to big for the airbrush.

Ok.....that hose must have come with the compressor and has
a (Iwata) connector.
Badger airbrushes require a Badger hose. Make sure that
the hose has a 1/4" connector on one end to allow connection
to the 1/4" out of the compressor.
or
there is also a quick release system that can adapt any
hose to any airbrush but may be harder to find depending on where you are located now.
I have many airbrushes of different brands and with this system, they all adapt to 1 hose....very convenient.

I actually had the same problem too, I was using a badger 200 and made the switch to a Iwata, and had to get the Iwata hose, cause I had a badger hose on my compressor to begin with.
My local hobbytown didn't have the adapter connectors but the iwata braided hose was only $20.
