Does anyone know of a source for parts for the Tamiya Superfine Airbrush besides Coast Air? I'm looking to get a replacement nozzle and it costs $27 bucks though them for it. So does anyone else know of a source that might be cheaper?
Thanks

Scott,
i dont know about another source in the USA but if u want, u can try rainbowten from Japan. Once i damaged the SF needle and almost a year i'm looking for replacement. COst Air have it but it's expensive. Then try to find on the net, and still cant managed to get the needle. After a while (about a year), i emailed rainbow ten and asked if they have the needle. Then. they replied and said it's available for 770yen. What u need to do is get the part number (coast air have it) and send to rainbow ten.
cheers!

I was told that an Iwata needle will work in the SF ...maybe other parts will work too. I can find needles at the local art store ...How did you manage to damage the nozzle?
