anyone knows how to solve this airbrush issue ?

1) trigger can push down but doesnt come up automatically

2) trigger can pull back but doesnt get push back and/or sometimes pull back but takes long time to get push back (was assembling/dismantling and getting these issues because of problem 1)

spring still working fine to me. sometimes can pull back and go back.
cleaned the trigger area already, cotton bud in and swipe around. but doesnt seems to go "up"?

spring may have lost its elasticity and become weaker.


if it is the trigger not clean, maybe u can try soak the whole airbrush in tools cleaner?

to ans your qns;

1a. gm301 is a marker designed to be used for panel lining. just ensure your surface is glossy enough for the ink to slide.

1b. if u dun like gm301, theres always the oil based panel line markers or even the sharpie marker pens and sakura fine tipped pens from popular bookstores.

2a. many other brands available. aside from tamiya there is mr hobby which has just as many colors as tamiya. RJ london, krylon etc can also be used.

2b. paints from spray cans are usually lacquer. acrylic spray cans are quite hard to find, of course i may be wrong.

2c. just use the acrylic topcoat from mr hobby

i think just buy from whichever is closer to u since the difference in price is not significant. as for variety of colors, hobbypoint without doubt wins

Anyone knows where i can find a Gundam Exia repair I 1/144 scale? The one with a green canvas on one shoulder & one of the eye battle damaged. so far the ones i see in departmental stores are of the bigger size. Prefer a 1/144 scale version.
