Some time ago, thanks to the members of the group, I learnt about the Japanese company Fuso Seiki, which still produces RichPen airbrushes. I was interested in the Apollo and Phoenix line.
I started to study the line of airbrushes that were available for sale and I bought Apollo 112B (I told about it in another post here https://airbrushforum.org/threads/s...-vs-olympos-200b-mod-vs-iwata-cm-sb-v2.25413/ ), at that time Phoenix could be bought only in bulk from 100pcs because they produced them only under a large order, but parts for Phoenix were available for retail purchase and I bought them for tests and experiments.
Just under a year ago I managed to buy a new Phoenix 222C in Japan through a friend.
I recently found out that the Phoenix 222C and 223C brushes are once again available for retail purchase direct from Fuso Seiki. I emailed the manager (they don't have a specialized airbrush shop as they make and sell many other things besides airbrushes) and he sent me the current retail prices for the 222C and 223C. The price for each was less than $150 ! I did not hesitate to order the 222C and 223C as I have not seen such low prices on the market and I don't know how many 222C and 223C they have produced now and how long they will be available from them at that price and decided to invest and buy both. One of the 222C's I decided to customize, I should end up with 3 brushes with different settings.
