introduction

first one is good,
Second one is underpowered though its roughly the same size as the senco
They didnt ship to Sweden.. Geez this is hard. It feels like im running in circles :D Hard to weigh in the pros and cons
I would go for the Cevik if it wasnt for the water trap thing

Well, like i said i havent needed a water trap on a tanked unit for airbrushing, so theres a chance you wont need one.

If you did have to have one, you could take it down to the hardware store and have them help you get a T fitting, a few nipples, a water trap/regulater, and a female-female fitting and you could come out of the port where the safety release valve is ,re-install the safety valve and attach your trap/regulator to the other side of the T, thus giving you a third port with a water trap. So it isn't hopeless.

You could possibly get away with plugging in a water trap even with the angle of the ports as well, it just wouldnt quite have the same capacity.

There are options there...and thats if you find you need one.

Okay.. Is there anyone of these compressors that has been linked with a water trap already? I dont know what it would cost for me to go fix that in the local hardware store, but I assume it would be expensive to let anyone in a hardware store do it for me, here in Sweden.
Maybe its just better to buy a near "complete" compressor instead of buying one that I need to configurate afterwards at the local hardware.

You can easily put a water trap on the Cevik, you just connect your trap to a hose and plug it in to the compressor, if you want to buy the the Cevik, do that then I'll tell you how to do the rest.

Basically starting from the compressor, you would have your euro quick connect output, hose with quick connect bayonet at comptessor end and same femal quick disconnect at the outlet end, 1/4" quick connect bayonet on the feed side of your trap and a 1/4" male to 1/8" male adapter on the output side of your trap, you'll end up with a setup similar to this;

Simply connect a standard QD hose between your compressor and the left side of the trap in this photo, you use a bracket with clamp to hold the trap/regulator to your table or even screw it to a wall near where you work.
 
thanks guys, appreciate it. which would you buy in my shoes?
Ok, so if I'm ordering that and the Cevik, im not doing a big mistake you think? :D Im tired of not deciding.. What would you do in my shoes?

edit: thanks @Malky :)

IMO that inline w fittings and the cevik You will be happy with. Good balance of power and portability. Pretty darn silent. Great price.
The only thing id say is try and find an inline like that with the fittings that doesnt come all the way from china so you get it a little quicker.
If you cant, i would order one without fittings from somewhere in EU and then just get the fittings at the hardware, theyre pretty cheap and you have pics of what you want/need
 

Why would this one be better? Would need to disconnect it to empty it and even more fittings needed to convert it for airbrush use, if it was attached direct to the compressor it would be sitting at an extreme angle, puting the regulator version on a table or wall near the work allows for easy regulation of pressure without having to approach the compressor if it's on the floor or under a table.

It would be closest to getting a compressor w a trap included.
You dont have to disconnect to empty, the release is on the bottom right. and it just becomes part of the hose. Screw it to a 1/4 to 1/8 hose and plug it in, zero more fittings required, zero more hose. The way the inlines are made the angle is nowhere near as important as it is with one with side ports and in the end your whole unit is just as portable as ever, no need to fix the trap to another object or itself.

For portability I just like to keep it self contained. If it were going to be more stationary id probably setup how you were saying. Which would be more convenient for certain

I see:) my set-up above actually plugs direct into another regulator on my Orazio compressor without a hose, the idea being that I can take that one off and still use the compressor for air tools with standard 1/4" connection.
 
Ahh.. Ok now the compressor is ordered. Now its the rest of the equipment :D this will hopefully be easier

Should I order a water trap right away? if so, which one of those you mentioned?

Oh, heck yeah then you dont have to fiddle w the reg everytime you back to AB too .

I have constant back pain so I can't crouch to mess with the compressor but I generally between 5 10 psi so have the MAC on the airbrush hose, the regulator in the pic is dedicated to the airbrush so I can unplug it and use the compressor, I do small upholstery projects but intend to use the compressor to blow dust out of PlayStation and other games consoles and computers too, I'm a rught Scottish twat and just feel the need to the best out of it:)

I would,
I don't see one of those inlines w/fittings from anywhere but china.
Plenty without the fittings, Personally id get this
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oil-Wate...457075?hash=item419a87acb3:g:No4AAOSwa~BYdMGd
and get the fittings at the hardware.

Or you could get this...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inline-O...itm=201934802737&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1

and wait on it, in the meantime youd need a male to male qc fitting from the harware to screw your hose to anyhow so you could use you brush plugged right into the compressor

My brushes have Macs so i never mess with the regulators They sit at 40 i think. I never really know what pressure im using. You know how it is, it all eventually is just played by ear
 
Looks good to me.
No preference on the cleaners. I dont use them anyway. IMO Whichever brand you go with, save it for deep cleaning and do your regular cleaning with water and some cheap glass cleaner

Ah okay.. I just want to make sure the cleaning part gets done correctly, since my previous (excrementty/cheap) airbrush broke after minimal use since I knew nothing about how to clean it.

Also, this will sound stupid, but when it comes to airbrush paint, which is super expensive compared to oil and acrylics im used to buy..
..is there any way to mix the paint with another liquid to get more of it? Because I assume that the small bottles (like these http://www.foxystudio.com/product/liquitex-professional-acrylic-ink-sets/) would run out very fast?
Or do you usually buy big bottles?

I mean, those small bottles cant be many filled "cups" in the airbrush?
