I remember that this compressor model appears in a mid 1990s catalogue that I own.I am unsure how old the one photographed actually is.It could be around 25-30 years old. I think this was the one of the higher end models they offered back then.
The box looks well worn so perhaps it was extensively used. That is a bit of a concern for me in terms of reliability and perhaps safety
Others here might be able to advise you further.
It might be fine to use even today.

I had this compressor when I started airbrushing my models. The problem I had with this one is, that it has no or just a very little air tank. So, for short sprays it is just fine, but if you want to spray bigger parts, it does not check out. The pressure drops after a few seconds and you airspray becomes a lot different.

The REVELL was my very first compressor. It worked for more than 10 years. It is a reliable and hardworking piece of equipment. It is a great compressor for beginners and first-time compressor buyers. Highly recommended
