Mr. Hobby Cute Compressor - PS371

Ultra-Compact Portable Diaphragm Compressor for Model Painting

The Mr. Hobby Cute Compressor PS371 delivers remarkable performance in an ultra-compact, lightweight package perfect for beginners and experienced modelers seeking a portable secondary compressor. Weighing just 290 grams (10.2 ounces), this newly designed diaphragm compressor generates sufficient air pressure for model painting while offering exceptional portability for travel, workshops, or space-limited workbenches.

Newly Designed Compact Diaphragm Unit

The innovative diaphragm unit delivers reliable air pressure in a remarkably compact body, making it one of the smallest compressors available for model painting. Despite its diminutive size, the Cute Compressor provides sufficient airflow for detail work, weathering effects, and small to medium-scale model projects. The diaphragm design operates maintenance-free without requiring oil or lubrication, ensuring clean air delivery that won't contaminate your paint.

Ultra-Lightweight Portable Design

At just 290 grams (10.2 ounces), the Cute Compressor is incredibly easy to carry, making it perfect for painting at conventions, workshops, outdoor events, or when traveling. The compact footprint takes up minimal space on crowded workbenches, while the included AC adapter provides reliable power anywhere you have an electrical outlet. This portability makes it an excellent choice for hobbyists with limited workspace or those who paint in multiple locations.

Compatibility and Limitations

The Cute Compressor works with most Mr. Hobby airbrushes including the Procon Boy FWA Platinum 0.2mm, SQ 0.4mm, and WA Platinum 0.3mm models. However, due to air pressure limitations, trigger-type airbrushes with 0.5mm diameter nozzles cannot be used with this compressor. For large-scale kit projects requiring higher airflow, consider the Mr. Hobby L5 or L7 linear compressors.
