OK no problem with the air pressure. Here's the idea I used and it worked quite well. I took a propane tank like people use on their outdoor grills( I don't know if you have the same type in Britain, the one I have was actually tested to 125PSI). I had three connections. One- was for input air from my compressor, two- output with an air valve to regulate pressure to my moisture trap and airbrush, three- a pressure indicator to tell me "tank" pressure. You could install an output pressure indicator on the number two connection also. I don't use one on mine, I'm accustom to it and I just go by feel & sound. I did an FI-156 Storch several years ago and did a wavy band camo finish and I must have spent three or four hours just trying to get the feel for the line width and pattern. It really was fun but a challenge too. I hope this suggestion helps you. Good Luck!
