Hallo again...

i want to replace my damage Tamiya Superfine needle. Based on my understanding, tamiya ab and iwata are made by the same manufacturer..(correct me if i'm wrong)..if that so, can iwata needle fit tamiya ab?? if it is posibble, what model of iwata ab is compatible with tamiya superfine.

option no 2 is to get the replacement needle for tamiya.. i did a goggle search and find costal airbrush have them. Is there another shop who sell the needle beside coastal airbrush. Their shipping cost is more than the needle it self..

thanks

Elad,
Here ya go!
http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/index.html
This is rainbowten, but I looked and I coudn't find the spare needle listed. The A/B, yes! The part only, No!
Maybe you have to call, or write for it. I have one of these air brushes too. coastairbrush.com has the needle for $12.50.

Coast is the greatest!
I got my replacement needle and a spare from them.

Word of warning, DO NOT bend/break/lose/damage the tiny nozzle the needle protrudes through.

I bent mine and it was US $42 to replace!!!

sorry for the late reply.

Elad, for your information, rainbow ten URL is given by our friend tek2.
Just to let u know is when u do the search, the site wont display it. i've done these for months when suddlently it occur to me that to email rainbow ten and ask if they have the needle. Reply came and said they have the stock (still no search results shown) ...
they also paste the item code. Here it goes
TAMIYA PARTS 7807103 AIRBRUSH NEEDLE price per unit 770 yen

I knew it's kinda late but i just hope i have something in return.

cheers
