Angry Help with Compressor and Airbrush please!!!

OK so i bought this airbrush here, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190297441631 and this compressor here -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190290541250 However, the compressor mentions something about a 1/8" BSP connection for the hose, the one that came with the PAASCHE does not fit on it properly, its too big, idunno this seems to be a lot more confusing than intended, could someone who understands this and has more experience aid me in finding the hose I need ? been looking for a few days now, and I just happen to come across more and more frustration and agitation, I mean this is the only thing keeping me from painting my XMods already!!! so any help is deeply appreciated!!

I did, i found these (http://cgi.ebay.com/AIRBRUSH-HOSE-AD...3286.m63.l1177 ) but this just seems to create more confusion, because how would i begin to measure the PAASCHE fitting at the end of the hose ? i mean, to actually diagnose the problem and pickout the proper adapter?

Is 1/4 the one that connects directly to the airbrush? because i thought the 1/4 was bigger than the one eight? and that would mean it would be the one connecting too the compressor ? and thank you for having some patience, :/

this is very confusing for me, i use a "masters" brand i have never used a Paasche before but from the looks the paasche brush uses the 1/8 threads and the compressor uses the 1/8 threads too, did the brush include a hose with adapters? but when bondo get on he can really help you he is the air brush masta.

ok, the compressor uses a 1/8" BSP which apparently means British Standard Pipe, but im in the US and the PAASHE needs a 1/4" NPT or National Pipe Thread, bigger headache than i thought, huh!!! but i shall await bondo then and anyone else who will choose to help! for now i shall get some rest, ehh thanks a lot Mustang!!
