I managed to break the 0.2mm nozzle on my Tamiya HG SuperFine airbrush. Now I'm looking for a replacement and can't seem to locate anything other than some 0.2mm nozzles on eBay, which I have no clue if they would fit my airbrush. They are pretty cheap though: link

What airbrushes are Tamiya compatible with. Which nozzle should I get?

When I trashed mine a few years back , all I could find was Bear Air who carried them.
It was about $42 for that nozzle 5+yrs ago!

A quick peek at their site does not show Tamiya.
You could email and ask them.
I remember hearing that Tamiya and Iwata parts are interchangable, as Tamiya brushes are made by them.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, Mike.

I too have heard Tamiya and Iwata are made by the same company, but some say their parts are not interchangable... supposedly the Iwata nozzle is longer than Tamiya one.



For about $50 I would hate to get something I could not use.
