ManvsMini Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 3 hours ago, cmorse said: I took a look at my setup and I have the Badger 51-042 QD, it actually solves everything. The male side is an M5 and attaches to the airbrush directly and the female side is an 1/8 BSP with an M5 adapter over it. So that adapter plus a 1/8 BSP f/f hose should do the trick. Perfect, thank you SO much for the help. This could have been a nightmare in the making, with much money wasted on trial and error. Greatly appreciate the input. And the same for everyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManvsMini Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Anyone know if anything is going on at Badger Airbrush? I've been trying to contact them for almost two months to resolve an issue with the quick disconnect that was missing an advertised adapter. I originally heard back from Ken within a day of emailing customer service, sent him back the requested information, and have been ghosted since then. Several emails sent, been trying to call them Friday and today, but their phone options give me the run around or send me to a voicemail. Really starting to annoy me, as I haven't been able to use my airbrush. I need that adapter to have the right connection to my air hose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoBob Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I like a very small cup for most airbrushing, as it intrudes less on my sight-line — my workhorse brushes are a Badger Patriot, and a Sotar 20-20, and the teensy cup on the Sotar is more than adequate for pretty much any modeling work. I have a Paasche Talon with a much bigger cup that I can use for spraying large areas like terrain pieces, and if I need even more paint I have an old Badger 150 double-action bottom-feed and a Paasche single-action siphon-feed, both of which can handle quite large bottles. And if I need to spray even more paint than that, I have a small spray-gun as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To attach to a 1/8 BSP hose you don't add an adapter, you remove the one that is preinstalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
