Need a little advice as completely new to airbrushing, after my first use i broke the 0.3mm nozzle whislt cleaning (bit heavy handed), how ever the company i bought it from are very expensive for parts, and i was wondering can i use a nozzle of same size if i bought from Ebay etc (i.e are these parts universal)

thanks in advance.

edit - sorry the airbrush is a HS-34

Is this what you're looking for?

Most parts are far from universal - but you can normally find reduced prices for many parts through eBay or discount suppliers.

Taking a quick look at that part number you added to your post - it looks like you have a China-built brush. Quite often, those are designed to have limited parts supplies as it is often cheaper for the manufacturer and various importers to simply sell you a new brush as opposed to a replacement part for the old brush. This allows them to skip over bothersome issues like parts inventories and stock management.

No its not the aircap its the tip you screw in.
having trouble posting image as in work .
link below though no image on the site i bought from.

thanks

go to TCP global, they have all the parts for your airbrush and from what I had seen they run about $5

cheers @ darefsky

going to save up for a decent one that are easy to buy spares from.

Being on that side of the pond does have its disadvantages from time to time.....

You have access to great airbrushes over there though. Harder and Steenbeck come to mind.

Was looking at them orignally before i bought this as didnt want to shell out loads at first.

BTW - £4.20 for a nozzle isn't really that bad of a price. Replacement nozzles for a lot of my brushes are well over $10 and that doesn't include shipping.

just me being tight with my wallet i think (i blame FW). i have ordered spares from them but was refunded via paypal and no reason given, so wonder if they have gone out of business, hence my OP


edit have ordered this instead of missing about with cheap chinese ones
