About product

One part for two different classes of machine

Inside every gravity-feed airbrush there is a rear assembly which decides how the trigger returns. This case is its outer shell: it screws into the rear opening of the body, grips the return spring inside and determines how hard it presses on the needle. What is interesting about this particular component is that two machines from different classes share it, the GHAD-68 model with a 0.38 mm nozzle and the flagship Swallowtail. Both have the rear part of the body built to the same measure, even though everything else differs. For the owner of both machines that is practical: a single replacement covers a workshop where both are worked with in turn.

How a tired rear assembly is recognized

The typical symptom is a sluggish trigger. You release your finger but the lever does not return at once all the way to its stop, so the paint still flows for a moment and a blot arises on the model at the place where the stroke should have ended. The second symptom is, on the contrary, a trigger as hard as stone, which usually means that dried paint has got into the thread and the case is pressing on the spring more than it should.

Practical advice on replacement

Before unscrewing it, always loosen the needle chuck first and draw the needle carefully backward, otherwise the tip risks resting against the nozzle and bending. Clean the case with a soft brush and only as much solvent as is necessary; a long soak of the whole assembly needlessly strains the sealing rings. It is tightened back by feel, not with a wrench. Anyone taking on the rear part of an airbrush for the first time should photograph the whole assembly in the state in which they took it apart; the order of the parts is harder to remember than it seems.

FAQ

Yes. The GHAD-68 and the Swallowtail have the rear part of the body built to the same interface, although they belong to different classes.

Most often because of a tired or clogged rear assembly. The paint then still flows for a moment after the stroke has ended.

Only by feel with the fingers, until it seats lightly. Do not use a wrench or pliers, as the thread is fine.

Briefly yes. A longer bath in solvent harms the rubber rings, though, so a brush with soft bristles is more suitable.
