I read here that the Gunze Sangyo (Mr. Color) and Tamiya airbrushes are made by Iwata.

What I would like to know is whether the quality of all of them is the same or the Gunze Sangyo and Tamiya quality is worst. I ask this because of the price difference.

Thanks in advance,
Angel

Angel, I actually have one of the Gunze airbrushes, the ProBoy Con Platinum with the Mac valve and 0.3mm needle, and it works great. My best friend has both a Tamiya and an Iwata, and there is virtually no difference to them.

I would say they are all made with the same quality components, and for the price, the Gunze or Mr. Hobby air brushes are the way to go. I picked mine up from Lucky Model, cost me about $100 delivered (Price has gone up about $15 since though), but the same AB from Iwata is $350+

Thanks Scott.

I own a single action airbrush and was thinking on getting a dual action airbrush. I wanted to make sure I made good value of my money.

Have a nice weekend.

Cheers,
Angel
