Question 1

Any recommendation on a specific compressor?  One that is small and quiet as possible.  Will use the airbrush for wargame miniature painting.

Accepted Answer

I have a airbrush compressor that is 1/5 HP oil-less and quite quiet. It will overheat after like an hour or so, but works great, just make sure if you get a small compressor that you do NOT get one without a tank on it. It should look like 2 tanks on top of each other. If you get one without a air tank on the bottom you will get inconsistent air pressure as well as overheat it pretty quick. Mine is a silver motor on top of a black tank and is pretty small has a moisture trap and air hose. Also this airbrush is probably not going to be best suited for you if you are going to be painting miniatures. The needle is large which allows quite a bit of paint to come out making it very difficult to paint small details. I would recommend the badger renegade krome. The patriot seems to work well with putting out a lot of paint. I use my patriot for laying down kandy colors over a larger surface than a miniature. The krome will produce hair size lines, or like inch size lines, with the 105 patriot you will likely not get any finer of a line than a skinny marker would give you.

Question 2

If I purchase this airbrush and your Badger Air-Brush 10-Feet Company Braided Air Hose will I need anything else in addition to an air compressor?

Accepted Answer

I used my Badger compressor for 20 years without a moisture trap or regulator and didn't have any problems.  But, depending where you live, the level of moisture in the air may get sent through the hose to your model.  The regulator is very helpful in dialing down your air pressure to achieve fine effects.  I have both now and you can pick them up with your compressor when you shop.  I bought a Badger TC 910 which had both.

Question 3

What adapter i need to get to fit Master Airbrush Compressor?

Accepted Answer

The one I bought (off ebay) had a M5-0.5 male connector, extra nozzle, and nothing else. I bought a pack of connectors for $6 here -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZELX07A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A2V0U2CDI8OSTK&psc=1 which has a M5-0.5 female to 1/8", which is far more common of an adapter. If you get that kit it should hook up to most airbrush compressors (the small ones) or even a bigger 1/4" one.

Question 4

What kind of needle i can use for badger model 105

Accepted Answer

Badger has a standard .5mm needle and a .3mm fine detail needle available. If you're switching sizes you will need a full conversion kit for the nozzle. Otherwise, I would only use authentic Badger parts.
