repeater Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi All, I'm looking for replacement 0.3mm needles for my GSI Creos 'Mr. Hobby' Procon Boy airbrush.. WA Trigger Type. (great airbrush - I can recommend it) No amount of googling can find an online stockist, and my LHS (from whom I purchased) seem unable to help. Any suggestions/ideas/direction on how to find a suitable replacement needle? It does seem that Mr. Hobby airbrushes are made by Richpen (?) who also make Iwata and Tamiya airbrushes.. how generic are the airbrush needles... ? Thanks...

Dave J Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have found that my Tamiya and Iwata Needles are the same... As long the diameter and length are the same... I can't see any issues at all. Have you try contacting Hobby Link Japan, as they carry Gunze Airbrushes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Tim, I might have an answer. Are you in any sort of a hurry for the needle? I bagged a set of 5 X 0.3mm needles and 5 X 0.2mm fluid tips last year. The needles fit my Iwata HP-C clone. I have 2 spare needles. Would you like one? Alternatively, check this evilbay linky: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xairbrush+needles+0.3mm&_nkw=airbrush+needles+0.3mm&_sacat=0&_from=R40 Regards Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
