Re: Ziroli P40 build
Hi Dave, "happy new year "
that's the one, Dremel Versatip. I had mine from Argos at a similar price, highly recommended. It has numerous tips and is capable of small silver soldering works,.... no brainer really.

Re: Ziroli P40 build
I bought the same item from Screwfix a couple of months ago, mainly for car wiring repairs/mods it lasts ages between gas refils, one of the best tools I've bought, gets to soldering temp in under 30 secs

Re: Ziroli P40 build
Hello Pete,
Its an Iwata revolution tr2. I've had this about 5 years without any issue, having sprayed at least 5 large warbirds prior to this one. It easily copes with any type of high pigment / enamels paint and is very comfortable to use. I prefer these type of brushes as the trigger resembles an ordinary Spray gun and your fingers rest comfortably on the pistol moisture filter.
Providing cleanliness is maintained, its superb.

Lovely job Frank.........another thumbs up for the TR-2 from me, I've had mine for almost 10 years now & it's still spraying beautifully without any need for any replacement parts.

Re: Ziroli P40 build
Stunning Fank, let’s see her with the pointy bit on the front, those idiots who repaired and painted the P40, found in the desert should have commissioned you for the job mate!
