Any of you guys ahave a Tamiya airbrush?
Picked up one of their HG Supefine brushes, but forgot about a hose, and I'm not sure which ones will fit it? Anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Lon

I had that same airbrush just two weeks ago. I used Mr. air hose 1/8(S) straight (product code PS-246) by Gunze Sangyo and it fits pretty well. That was the recommendation that Rainbowten (www.rainbowten.co.jp) gave me.

I dont know if its just the airbrush or my lack of experience but I was using Badger 360 and I find it hard to hold the trigger on a certain degree to produce thin lines for a long period of time. My fingers became very stiff just to hold that trigger position. After a day of painting, my fingers hurt.

With the Tamiya HG-SF, that problem of mine was solved. There is a knob at the end of the airbrush which can varyingly limit how you can draw back the trigger. I can now produce very thin lines instantly without stiffening my fingers.
