It could be that they're both old models, but with different specs depending on what the company on the label asked from the factory. You get oil with them, and you just connect the bottle to the compressor using the provided tube and squeeze it in. Once its full, the motor stops, and you have a box with air in it set to your chosen psi, meaning you get a really nice, smooth flow of air.

When running the compressor was pretty quiet, it was possible to listen to the radio whilst running. Or if there is another entry level compressor that would be a better fit to general modelling requirements.

This is your AS18, entry level compressor, same design (if not spec) as the Iwata, only the Iwata is in a carry box, this isn’t.

The big advantage of this compressor over the AS-18-2 compressor is that it has a pressure tank that will reach the desired pressure and then turn off. The Bambi machines do seem to be more prone to this than the Sil Airs, although Bambi’s main retailer state that 9 times out of 10, you’ll not need one.

These things are fairly common as tanning compressors, and have a patented (I think) Iwata regulator making sure the pressure doesn’t drop while you’re spraying. This is a device in the setup that makes sure the air pressure stays at the psi you set it at for the task at hand. I have removed the drain plug a couple of times and only once found a very small amount of condensate. So, I was wondering if anyone here uses one of these compressors or has heard anything about them, good or bad? As you can imagine, using cans of air isn’t ideal if you want control over that pressure that’s coming down the tube into the airbrush.Once the air is under pressure, it can be squirted out via your airbrush, it picks up the paint within the brush, and carries it on to the surface you’re painting. Now with the compressor switched off and any remaining pressure in the tank completelyexpelled, unscrew the drain valve all the way. This really depends on how much noise is a problem for you, but getting a compressor that does not make as much noise as a jet engine is a good idea for most people. We’ll cover the actual airbrush in part 2, and in part 3, some supplies you’ll need, what you can use to save money, and just general tips and tricks, all in one handy place. Airbrush Pro'scompressors are ultra quiet with a db rating of less than 55 and include a fully adjustable pressure regulator gauge with moisture filter.

Operation Instructions Airbrush Compressor AS186

I will add a more detailed review once I have had time to play with the kit but initial impressions are favorable. The underside of the tank has a brass screw-in stopper to allow the tank to be drained of any condensate. In short your compressor's horsepower rating is a measurement of the power of the compressors motor.There are a number of minor differences between the top halves of the 2 compressors so it's definitely possible the innards have changed as well, as to whether that will make any difference one way or the other to the compressor's performance, it's impossible to say.
