Gunze Sangyo Pro Spray MK.5

Anyone tried Gunze's pro spray airbrushes?

I was thinking of picking one up because it's cheap and since paint doesn't enter the body, it'll be easy to clean, etc...

Re: Gunze Sangyo Pro Spray MK.5

I have the Pro MK. 4 airbrush. It's pretty good IMO. But the hose is a 1/8th inch connection. You'll have to find an air compressor that has a 1/8th hose connection or you'll be stuck buying canned compressed air. I have on but I forgot where I got it from. Gunze makes one but it's very expensive.

Re: Gunze Sangyo Pro Spray MK.5

i have a Testors(i think...) airbrush that kinda fits the description of what badboy said. it is made to be used with cans of air, which are not refillable and pretty freaking expensive for air. i've been looking for something to connect it to my compressor but haven't had any luck yet.

Your Testors is a 1/8th inch?? I thought the American standard is set at 1/4 inch. Oh well. Try looking for an adaptor or something. Oh yeah, I have the Tamiya spray work airbrush set for sale if anybody wants it.

Yeah. Comes out pretty smooth. Gunze did a good job. But like I said, make sure you have a compressor that works with the airbrush.
