    So after buying an Airbrush, a compressor and a hose, i've realised i need something to connect the hose between the Airbrush and the Compressor.


    I guess that something is a quick release coupling, along the lines of the picture below?

    Yes?

    ...but every shop i've rung either thinks i'm talking gibberish, or knows what i'm talking about but doesn't seem to have them.

    Am i looking for the wrong thing?

    ...and if i'm not looking for the wrong thing, where around the City Center could i get them?

    Thanks

    For some reason modellers wanting to buy an airbrush seem to consider it such a buying decision that they research the planet, and buy online.
    As a result, the Irish model shops found themselves selling quantities of 1 per year and have stopped stocking these specialist items and accessories. If any Irish model shop still does airbrushes, I don't know them, but just possibly Motorama are worth a call?

    If you bought online, but want your spares in Dublin, you need a new supplier.
    You need to look outside model suppliers, at art and graphic designer suppliers who still sell airbrushes to a professional type customer. Possibly O'Sullivans or Kennedy's?

    You dont need a coupling like that, the hose should screw straight on to the airbrush.
    Unless you are changing between airbrushes?
