Like an idiot, I just mangled my Tamiya sprayworks HG airbrush needle. Probably deformed the nozzle tip with it as well.

A quick peek at the 'new and improved' (read as completely useless and impossible to navigate, even if you know what you are looking for) VLS website shows nothing.
Nothing turns up on HLJ either.

Anyone know where I can get Tamiya airbrush parts in the US?
Is there an equivalent Iwata part? I read once that the Tamiya brushes were either Iwata clones or actually made by Iwata.

really bummed out...

Thanks for the tip. The thread languished here for a while, luckily I heard about Coast from someone over on Missing Links and ordered the parts.. needle $11, nozzle $40+ !!!!

Lesson learned (not priceless..) approx $65 with shipping.

thanks for the help
Mike
