I see the fengda has a red on/off switch. Do they all?

**langy71** · 21 February 2023, 17:39

I've never heard of switzer to be honest, so I don't feel I can comment on how reliable it is.........however If it's an 'absolute must' that the set comes with an airbrush then have a ganders at this one....It's the same price as the one on e-bay...and it's got next day delivery...

It's just a badge! - there's probably one factory in China that turns out base compressors & they're just rebadged & gussied up by the retailers. The airbrushes - one is a gravity feed double action, that's OK, but the other is a suction feed, that isn't very good!

**langy71** · 21 February 2023, 17:44

Just found another one, a wee tad cheaper...

cheaper blowy painty splatterer

**Modler bob** · 21 February 2023, 17:46

also, would a large cardboard box suffice for spraying?

**stillp** · 21 February 2023, 17:49

It'll reduce the overspray a bit but won't do anything for the smell or the airborne particulates.

I can't see a problem with it,
although eventually I would 'upgrade' to a proper 'booth' set up, they're not to expensive, but they do come with an in-built extraction system to help remove any 'harmful' vapours

Agree Dave, mine's officially a Switzer.....but looks exactly the same as all AS186 compressors

**Modler bob** · 22 February 2023, 13:13

Just eying the AS186.
While looking at you-tube I noticed the tank (on the bottom) was rather large compared to the one I looked at with the tank on top
I'm confused now lol.
