If this is the Tamiya HG, I love it. I have two Iwata HP Plus's that I only use for large work now as the HG is great for small parts and detail work. I find that my paint usage with the HG is way down. Very easy to mix small amounts of paint in the cup. One suggestion on cleaning. After running solvent through the tip, I pull the needle and wipe it clean. There will be a residue of paint that spraying solvent will not remove. This residue will seize the needle if the gun is not used for a couple of days. By the way this gun is made by the same company that makes the Iwata.

yes it is the Tamiya HG ... it isn't available to buy in Europe or (UK) as yet i had to buy the badger adaptor so that i could use my braided badger hose




i have a badger 200-3 and a Aztek 4709 it is pretty decent, but it is uncomfortable to use for long periods

My friend Bill has this brush and it shoots like a dream and is THE most comfortable brush he's ever owned. You're going to love it!
