Comes with 10cc cup. Excellent mechanism installed in platinum type - Air adjustment system You can adjust the air volume from 1 to maximum at your fingertips. - Air up mechanism Adjusts the air so that you can work stably even with low pressure air. - Semi-easy soft button Promotes smooth spraying of paint at the beginning of spraying. Set contents - Conversion joint for 1/8 (S) to PS (thin) - Air hose (PS thin, 1m) - Air adjustment valve -k. Please note: For electrical appliances, they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V). Using them with a different voltage may cause malfunction. Our products use Japanese plug types (Type A or B). Please use a conversion adapter if necessary. A transformer adjusts the voltage to meet your device's requirements. A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust the voltage. Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer can lead to product damage. We are not liable for malfunctions or damages resulting from improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.

Product Information
Full details
This Mr Hobby Procon Boy FWA Double Action Platinum 02 Airbrush (PS-270) is designed for hobbyists and artists requiring high precision for detailed painting tasks. Its key benefit is the stable, consistent air pressure control, allowing for incredibly fine lines and smooth gradients. A primary consideration is that it operates on Japanese voltage (90-110V) and uses Japanese plug types, requiring a voltage transformer and possibly a plug adapter for use outside Japan. This airbrush features a 0.2mm nozzle, a semi-easy soft button for smooth paint application, an air adjustment system for fine-tuning airflow, and an air-up mechanism for pressure stability, all housed in a platinum-finished body with a 10cc cup.

FAQs
What is the voltage requirement for this airbrush?
The airbrush is designed for Japanese voltage specifications of 90-110V. A voltage transformer is required for use with different voltage outlets to prevent damage.
Do I need a special plug adapter?
The product uses Japanese plug types (Type A or B). If your country uses a different socket type, you will need a plug adapter. Remember, an adapter only changes the plug shape, not the voltage; a transformer is still necessary.
How do I clean the 0.2mm nozzle effectively?
After use, flush with cleaner, then use a soft brush and cleaner to gently remove any paint residue from the nozzle opening. For deeper cleaning, consult the manual for disassembly instructions.
Can I use this airbrush with thicker paints?
The 0.2mm nozzle is best suited for finely thinned paints. For thicker mediums, you may need to thin them significantly or consider an airbrush with a larger nozzle diameter.
What is the purpose of the 'Air Up' mechanism?
The 'Air Up' mechanism stabilizes air pressure, particularly when you begin spraying or operate at low pressure settings, ensuring a consistent and smooth airflow without pulsations.
What does 'Double Action' mean?
Double action means you can control both the air and paint flow independently using the trigger. Pressing down activates the air, and pulling back controls the amount of paint released.
What is included in the set?
The set includes the airbrush, a 10cc cup, a conversion joint (1/8(S) to PS thin), a 1m PS thin air hose, and an air adjustment valve.
Troubleshooting
Airbrush sputters or sprays unevenly.
Check for paint clogs in the nozzle or needle. Ensure proper paint thinning. Verify air pressure stability with the 'Air Up' mechanism and air adjustment system.
No paint is spraying, but air is flowing.
Ensure the paint cup is filled and properly seated. Check that the needle is not fully retracted or that the trigger isn't stuck. Clean the nozzle and needle assembly.
Trigger feels stiff or unresponsive.
Clean the trigger mechanism and needle housing. Ensure no dried paint is obstructing movement. Lubricate lightly with airbrush-specific lubricant if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.
Air leaks from the front of the airbrush.
Check the seal between the nozzle and the airbrush body. Ensure the nozzle is tightened correctly. Inspect the needle packing for wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional precision with a 0.2mm nozzle for fine details.
Stable air pressure due to the 'Air Up' mechanism enhances consistency.
Intuitive paint control with the semi-easy soft button.
Versatile air volume adjustment for varied spraying effects.
Durable platinum finish and high-quality Japanese manufacturing.
Cons
Requires a voltage transformer and potentially a plug adapter for use outside Japan (designed for 90-110V).
The 10cc cup might be small for larger projects, requiring refills.
User must be aware of voltage differences to prevent damage.
Included air hose is 1 meter, which may be short for some setups.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure you have the correct voltage transformer and plug adapter if using outside of Japan (90-110V). Do not use without a transformer.
Connect the air hose to the airbrush and your air source (compressor or canned air).
Attach the 10cc cup securely.
If using canned air, connect the air adjustment valve to the can before attaching the hose.
Compatibility:
The airbrush uses PS (thin) type air hose fittings.
Included conversion joint adapts from 1/8(S) to PS (thin).
Compatible with most standard air compressors and canned air sources equipped with appropriate fittings.
Care:
After each use: Clean the nozzle and needle thoroughly with airbrush cleaner and a fine brush. Flush the cup and air passages.
Regular maintenance: Disassemble and clean the needle, nozzle, and related parts periodically according to manufacturer recommendations.
Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Protect the needle from damage.
