Hello all, this is my first post on Armorama.
I'm looking for some help. I just purchased a Revell Omega compressor to use with my Aztec A470 airbrush. However the Aztec air hose and adaptor I have will not fit the Revell compressor.
Can anybody reccommend an airhose and adaptor which will fit the above configuration?

Welcome aboard first off...now let's get your problem resolved.
I did a google search and found a nice pic of your compessor...nice looking!{odd place for the on/off switch though}. I may suggest you head over to your local hardware or auto parts store and find the needed brass pieces to adapt the threaded end on the compressor regulator to your air lines threading...I replaced the fittings on my old aztec ac500 {testor} compressor to put a regulator on it{didn't come with one origonally} and found what I needed at the local Napa auto parts store...see what you have at your disposal in your neck of the woods and go from there...you "could" replace the threaded piece off the regulator, but you may have warranty issues if you do so that's why I suggest making an adapter for now{till the warranty runs out...then it's open season}.
The regulator threading "should" be 3/8"pipe thread ...if it's not metric... and use teflon tape to seal the fittings when you do find them so you won't have any leaks. I run the old aztek a-470 a/b kit...

Just buy the Testors Air Can Adapter #50619C, dismount the adapter ring and fit it into your Aztek hose then fit them to the Revell Omega Compressor, it costs about $6,80 USD.



I bought this Can adapter at Hobby Linc - USA :
