Sorry, misleading you there, the paint cup has one PTFE seal on the base thread so you can strip it for easy cleaning....the only other seals are on the air path, well away from any solvents.

Sounds like a 'keeper' - and versatile
Having searched and read and reread numerous articals on ab's I've narrowed it down to a Neo for Iwata CN Airbrush, REF: IW-NEO-CN
Comes with a .35 needle etc, should match my Iwata Smart Jet Pro Airbrush Compressor
REF: C-IW-SMARTP that I bought last year. Can upgrade the needle set to a .5 when required , but no stock at the moment.
Just want something simple, easy to clean.
I did have a helpful pm from Bob re the trigger version , which in his case is just the job
Any comments welcome.

Thanks John, there are so many to choose from, its rather bewildering . How ever I've ordered a Iwata by Neo, cheap and cheerful, hopefully I will get on with this better.
That was ballsy Tim.
As you can see above in my reply to John, its now on order, hopefully it will be here tomorrow, with luck !
Great service form Aircraftnet, they replied to my message with in the hr and were helpful in their reply to my questions.
Lets hope that this is the start of better spray work.

Nice to hear of a company that can be bothered to reply to a query quickly!
It is Gerry, I've dealt with them a few times over the years, Martin is very knowledgeable and helpful.
Having just had a full on hail storm for 10 mins I'll begin.
Liking the new ab, feel ok and nice to use. Having cleaned it well after the primer I had to use the optivisor to put the nozzle back on, its so small . Going have to be care full taking that out I can see, definitely will do it over a large white plastic lid. In putting the needle back in I now have to have a finger on the side of the entry point and line the needle up with that. Going to take a while to familiarise myself with this.
The pressure was set for 20psi, the AK primer mixed at approx 34/40 % thinners. A very fine line was very easy to produce and the trigger is positive.
Leaving overnight to dry fully, then a coat of chipping followed by the 4BO. Looking fwd to seeing how the new AK 3rd gen works in this ab.
Thanks for looking in, comments welcome .

It's ok, need the red lead as a undercoat to stop the rust

Hi Rick, it does indeed, perhaps that's where they got the idea!Looking at this in primer without the tracks on, just shouts "TOON TANK" !
The turret looks far too big in hight. Certainly couldn't hide behind a low wall of hedge!
I'm of the opinion that had I been spraying Tamiya or some other none acrylic paint and I hadn't had a mix up with the tips etc none of this would have happened.
Hope your getting on with those new brushes ?

Glad to hear the new airbrush is working well. I have to use the optivisor too when putting mine on.... And I have varifocal lenses in my glasses already....
.Keep up the good work.

Greetings Bob aka Mr StuG . Fear not, that's only a primer, tomorrow hopefully the 4BO will flow !
Ha, Gerry.It's ok, need the red lead as a undercoat to stop the rust
I see I have two of you to contend with
.Thanks Jim, feel much better being able to put some paint on with out a right.
Hi Si thanks. Yes looking fwd to seeing tomorrow if it handles it well.I missed all the airbrush bother....what a pain!
Glad you’ve got the new one under control so quickly and hope you can get your 3rd gen paints through nicely
I'd sent you an Gmail with the Bunker video on, will have to check it went tomorrow.
