Don Wheeler Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm kind of late into this discussion, but that metal ring is just trim. Mine rotates too. The nozzle threads into the plastic head assembly inside. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
86Sabreboy1 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yeah I know but don't forget mate I'm living Down Under in a regional area where it takes at least 3 days to get something posted from Sydney, even though it's only a 7 hour drive. Besides I've got a back up airbrush and I'm happy to wait for a new replacement. Oh gotcha, I stand corrected. I had no idea and can appreciate the situation with better understanding.

mikestomcat Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hey Guys, When my airbrush turned up from Testors it still had the same problem with the nozzle turning. I thought that was a waist of $40Au for postage, I contacted Testors again and got an email that the person in charge was away for a few days and I just have to wait for a response. Any way I kept using the airbrush and after a few painting sessions my big fear happened, when I placed it down in my spray booth the front end broke off :wmsmiley-poop-hits-the-fan:/> I contacted Testors Wednesday, again and I'm still waiting for a response. I've given up all hope this company doing the right thing by me. :smiley-chores015:/> So I went out and bought an all metal airbrush from Paasche, the Talon TG-3F. I tried it out and it performed beautifully, spraying really nice tight lines and also being able to pull it apart to get in and clean it properly. :nanner:/> :nanner:/> :yahoo:/> :yahoo:/> :nanner:/> :nanner:/> :nanner:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Yeah, gotta say my Iwata is far less frustrating than my old Aztek A470 which I battled on with for 15yr before finally giving up on (I'm a stubborn b*@#$%^&). I can do freehand camo in 1/72 with the Iwata. Edited June 6, 2016 by Thommo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikestomcat Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well this morning when I opened up the mail box you could have knocked me over with a feather. :jaw-dropping:/> There waiting inside was a package from Testors with a brand new A7778 airbrush, the nozzle head still turns but at least Testors gave me another air brush. So now I have my new air brush from Paasche and the A7778, now I'm a happy camper and hopefully this will be the end of my troubles. Thanks to everyone for guiding me through this annoying time. :cheers:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
