On one side is a cut-away view that I wouldn't stake my life on, and a parts diagram. One of the things I don't like about the Chinese airbrushes is that you can never seem to download manuals or diagrams. So, you don't know what you're getting until you buy one. TCP's approach to spares is interesting.
They say they carry all spare parts. But, they sell them as kits. For instance, suppose you need a new needle. You have to order a needle, nozzle and aircap kit. So, you may need to buy parts you don't need.
I think this makes inventory a lot easier for TCP. Trying it out. The Master has the same hose threads as the Iwata, and I was going to buy an adapter to fit my Badger hose. But, thanks to the inclusion of the barbed hose adapter, I found that ordinary aquarium tubing works just fine. It pushes on securely to the airbrush and the Badger compressor adapter.
Here's the best I could do with black ink on paper towel. The air valve spring is too stiff for me. It was really tiring. I'm used to the modified springs I put in the Badgers. I think I will take the air valve apart and see what I can do. The Iwata spring feels even stiffer. I did this with the needle cap off. It's not just that I couldn't get close enough, the cap blocked my view. Being shaped like an inverted cone doesn't help. Conventional wisdom says that low pressure is best for close work.
But, I found I could do better with the pressure cranked up to 25 lbs. The 0. If you've looked at the samples I've done with other brushes, you can see that my skill level peaks out at about 0.
Also, the 0. This airbrush is going to be more difficult to keep clean. The tiny nozzle is hard to hold, let alone clean with anything. The rubber O ring is already starting to look frayed from my handling, and I think it may be a good idea to just leave the nozzle in place and try to keep it clean by flushing. On the Patriot, the seal is flush with the rear of the cup. I made the drawings below to illustrate the difference. On the left is the G22 and on the right is the Badger Patriot.
The narrow space around the needle in the G22 will draw paint in through capillary action. And, the same capillary action makes it difficult to remove. My experience is that just flushing and back flushing won't be enough. You could remove the needle and flush, but then you run the risk of getting paint and thinner back into the air valve, which is not a good idea.
I believe this is a common feature of airbrushes with an adjustable needle seal. In the Iwata, the channel is just barely big enough for the needle to pass through. Now I can understand why many people have to soak their brushes occasionally.
I picked up a pack of these dental brushes at the drugstore. Lacquer thinner doesn't seem to hurt them, and by bending the tip over, I can get down inside the cup and scrub out both the front and back openings. It seems to work pretty well for the G The cavity at the bottom of the bowl that you see to the right is larger than the cut-out above it.
So there is a ledge all the way around, and you can't touch the under side of it with a brush. The newer design airbrushes with a tapered cup have better access for cleaning. Well, the G22 is obviously a copy of an Iwata hp-C.
But, the Iwata is not much different from the other gravity fed airbrushes on the market. Write a Review. Customer photos and videos. Reviewed by jason t. Verified Buyer. I recommend this product.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome. Member since May From: Left forever. Thanks Bill, My concern is that they may decide that airbrushing isn't their thing because they bought something that is more complicated or hard to use than it has to be. Thanks, Don. Oh no, you were clear, enough. It is I who was unclear.
As I said earlier, I'll continue to recommend the Badger for the additional dough! Posted by keilau on Saturday, July 17, PM. Posted by keilau on Thursday, July 22, PM. Keilau, I added a couple drawings to my review page on the G22 to illustrate what I'm talking about. Posted by keilau on Friday, July 23, AM. Member since March
