For Squishy:Break down between Micron CM-C+ and Krome...

[Mr.Micron]

Well just for Squishy.
First the needle stops , The Krome has Fine machine thread while the Micron has Coarse Threads.

Next the handle both about the same Krome is a bit beefier


Next the needles both pretty much are the same


Next the needle tension assembly

than the needle guides.

now Iwata calls this the Auxiliary Lever while Badger calls it the Rocker Assembly

Now the Triggers

Airbrush Bodies


Head assembly (Iwata) Nozzle (Krome)


Hold Down Ring(krome)/Fluid Head Needle Cap(Iwata)

regulator/crown cap

reassembled airbrushes


Hope this is enough photo's for you if you have questions just ask..

Well played Herb, thanks for that mate.

I have to add to this i feel the microns needle is a bit more sturdier i had allot of hard landings and never bent it once (hard landing) when your doing a dagger strokes real fast like and you accidentally hit the canvas or panel at the end usually resulting in a slightly bent needle.

Good show.

Maybe you should have grouped the head assemblies together as some don't compare like for like.

I've got a breakdown of a Chinese BD130 to compare with these if anyone is interested.

I think to have a thread or threads that show parts side by side is a great thing. So if you are willing I would be interested,

Well being I have not hit either needle that is not something I could comment on.

Lol, me neither
The needles are the same, but yes the krome's are slightly weaker. But here is a tip, they are the same diameter and the krome's will work in the micron. Much cheaper in price if you want to go that route

i to have noticed that even the infinities the needles are inter changable

Wow Herb! You're my hero. Thanks for doing this! It was the trigger tensioner/rocker I was interested in, and I have to say the Krome's rocker looks easier to put in being a little bit longer. Anyone else who wants to do their brush als,o would be great, and useful for others too I'm sure. I will do my hp-cs in the next few days if anyone wants.

I am glad I am your hero...LOL , But I think it would be great to have a break down of all the airbrushes that not only give everyone an ideal of the parts involved to each airbrush.
