Default noob question

I have never used a airbrush before. I have had 2 given to me. I make custom pens with a wood lathe and decided this might be a good way to do some of my painting that I have to do sometime. I got a Paasche VL #3(it has several new needles with it too) and a Paasche AB Fine arts airbrush. Looks like a turbo to me. Both of these are brand new in unopened boxes. When I got them.
Now for the problem
I can't connect them to my air compressor. I got a air hose for air brushes but it don't fit the connection on the paasches. I need to know what is the size of the connection on the AB its self. Its not 1/8" and it looks too small for a 1/4".

welcome texas, paasche got their own hoses, I do not know what the size is but I believe that you can buy a attachment that will work on different hoses + airbrushes

Thanks for the replies. I will check and see if I can find one today. I live on a sand bar and have to ride the ferry to get to Galveston so it takes a little while to go look. If I knew how to do body tatooes I could have all kinds of fun. I live right on the beach.
