Bah, bought my B&Q aircompessor for £25 in the sale, last year!

Far better than the diaphragm compessor which I payed £50 from Roy Levers outfit (powermax ?), all those years ago when £50, bought you a box of balsa for a non descript trainer. Then the model shop thought it had done you a favour in taking your money.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the good old days.

Which you well with your compessor

Regards

I remember and shopped at Roland Scotts, in the lay-by of the East Lancs (superhighway).

Also remember, vaguely his shop on Shudehill, Manchester. Mum found it, I used to ask her to get me balsa cement form the Model Shop in Brazenose Street, during her lunch hour. It was quite a trek for her across central Manchester, Shudehill a little more convenient. What mums will do do for their kids.

It seems impossible that there is no longer a model shop (to my knowledge) of the quality of RS, MS, East Cheshire Models (Ron Donahue?) or the Ashton Under Lyne shops in Greater Manchester.

Woodheys Models on Washway road has closed, that was my local.

It is surprising how much better my Performance tools, 6ltr. 1.5 hp compressor is than, the puny diaphragm pump. Main issue is the pressure setting of 20 psi (for the airbrushes), appears to be a little high for my Badger spray gun (cannot be bothered to reset for it).
