G'day everyone,

Picked up a Tamiya HG off of E-bay for a good deal, now I need the adapter to use a Badger air hose. Anyone know where I can get one, shipping in, for a fair price? They are about $5.... but most places want $9 to ship it.... highway robbery! If there are any other solutions to this problem, I'd be grateful for the info.

Cheers!

Sorry, I can't help with your question. I'm just curious as to how much you payed on e-bay, if you don't mind of course, as I'm thinking of purchasing a Tamiya AB, eventually. The LHS is asking $189.00 U.S. Coast Airbrush has a pretty good deal, but I haven't really checked e-bay though. Also, could you let me know what you think of it's performance? I'd greatly appreciate it. -Cheers

Hey Riffraff247,

It almost hurts to tell ya I paid $52.50 for it (USD) considering I had it on my watch list and missed it..... it clocked out unsold the first time @ $24 USD. It's a dual action and I have been told it's an excellent brush and very close to Iwata (more like Kenmore is to Whirlpool).
It's defiantly the best place to look for them, they seam to come out in groups... when I got mine there were 3 or 4 others on there as well from different people.

Good luck with the purchase!

Wow, I'm not ready to purchase quite yet, so I'm going to keep searching, including ebay. I don't really like mail ordering, but it's starting to look like the way to go. -Cheers
