Mig Productions produces two types if double-acting airbrushes. We decided to offer these items in response to the many e-mails we had received from modellers asking about the types of airbrushes we use and recommend. We will start this article with a brief but important section informing you with technical information about both models. The second larger part of this article will provide some tips instructing how to get the most from each airbrush.

Technical Information about the H02 and H03 Models |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Let us get started with some basic technical information. Both airbrushes are double-acting with a pre set colour flow. The air pressure for both airbrushes is recommended to be set between 15 and 35 PSI. The threads on the air valve of both models are for a 1/8” hose. These are the same sized threads as on both the Iwata and Sparmax airbrushes.
Our H02 version has a smaller 0.2mm nozzle. This airbrush also has a little cup for holding small amounts of paint when the modeller needs to frequently change the colours. The H02 is perfect for precision work on complex shapes or camouflages covering all types of aircraft and vehicles. Our H03 version has a slightly larger 0.3mm nozzle along with a bigger cup and is perfect for precision work on greater surfaces and larger camouflages.

|
|
|
|
Both of our H02 and H03 airbrush models contain a rubber hose adapter and a small wrench for removing the nozzle.

When removing the needle for cleaning take away the handle and unscrew the nut that secures it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gently pull the needle straight back to remove it from the chucking guide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The spring case for the needle chucking guide can also be unscrewed for further cleaning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you do not remove the needle chucking guide because it is tricky to reinstall and taking it out is unnecessary for cleaning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To remove the trigger carefully pull it up while twisting it sideways.
|
|
|

Inside is the brass piston that must be pressed with the trigger to allow air thru the airbrush.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Again, we recommend that you do not remove the needle chucking guide.
|

Unscrew the nozzle cap counter-clockwise to remove it from the body.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the wrench to carefully unscrew the nozzle counter-clockwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unscrew the air valve counter-clockwise to remove it from the body.

This is a brass air flow button that may need to be lubricated with a product such as WD-40 about once a year.
