You airbrushing Guys in the US may already know about this so you can all have a good laugh at my expense ok...
I went along to the IPMS(UK) Nationals and made a bee-line for the tools stand for a company here in the UK called Shesto. Came away with an armfull of spares and a new discounted Badger 200BF airbrush.
Got home and tried to screw my new fine nozzle and needle to my new Badger so's I'd have a medium and a fine brush for spray sessions.
Result - the nozzle is different from the airbrush and won't fit...
So I spoke to Shesto, and they told me that Badger have changed their model 200 (the good old bottom feed single action with the blue handle) - it now has a single nozzle and a different profile of needle, the model number is now 200NH - but it still has the blue handle.
The 200BF spares are still on sale, and will continue - but the NH takes different parts.
Shesto have sorted it out for me now so all credit to them, but I can't remember seing any notification on the Badger site - has anyone else seen it or am I just guilty of keeping my nose in a model box for too long ?

:-) Thanks for the heads up Aitch. I was at the Shesto stand, checking out the new Badger range. There was no indication that parts were not interchangeable. Thanks again.
