Product Information

AK Interactive — Airbrush Parts
Needle + Nozzle 0.2 mm
AK9600-02  ·  Turn Your 0.3 Airbrush Into 0.2  ·  Stainless Steel + Brass
What Is This?

A 0.2 mm needle and nozzle set that converts your AK9600 Top Line Airbrush from the standard 0.3 mm setup to an ultra-fine detail tool. The needle is precision-ground stainless steel, the nozzle is machined brass with a self-centering design.

The tagline on the packaging says it all: "Turn your 0.3 airbrush into 0.2 with this kit." Same airbrush body, significantly finer output — hairline spray patterns that the 0.3 mm nozzle can't achieve.

Both parts come individually protected: the needle in a clear protective tube with red end caps and a "0.2" label, and the nozzle in a separate screw-cap vial. Ready for immediate installation.

Why Go to 0.2 mm?

🎯 Laser-Thin Lines — Preshade panel lines, spray highlights onto 28 mm faces, lay down freehand designs impossible with 0.3 mm.

🔄 Quick Swap — Unscrew the 0.3 mm parts, install 0.2 mm, done in minutes. Swap back just as easily for broader coverage.

⚙️ Self-Centering Nozzle — The brass nozzle seats itself in perfect alignment automatically. No calibration after reassembly.

🔩 Quality Materials — Stainless steel needle resists bending and corrosion. Brass nozzle handles cleaning solvents without degradation.

💰 Fraction of a Second Airbrush — Adding 0.2 mm capability to your existing AK9600 costs far less than buying a dedicated fine-detail airbrush.

0.2 mm vs 0.3 mm — When to Use Which
0.3 mm (standard) 0.2 mm (this set)
Best for Priming, base coating, broad coverage Fine lines, detail work, precision
Paint consistency Standard thin to medium Milk-thin only
Typical PSI 15–25 PSI 10–18 PSI
Use case Your everyday workhorse Your precision scalpel
💡 Keep both. Use 0.3 mm for priming and base coats, swap to 0.2 mm for detail passes.

Worth Knowing

 AK9600 Top Line Airbrush only. Will not fit Iwata, Harder & Steenbeck, Badger, or other brands.

 Not for priming or heavy base coats. 0.2 mm is a detail tool. Thick paints will clog constantly. Keep your 0.3 mm for coverage.

 Needle tip is fragile. Always handle with tweezers and store in the protective tube when not installed.

Sprue cutters or a hobby knife — what do I actually need?

Cutters remove parts from the sprue cleanly; the knife trims the leftover nub and mould lines. You'll want both — they do different jobs.

What's the difference between single-blade and double-blade cutters?

Single-blade cutters shear against a flat anvil for an ultra-clean cut with less stress on the plastic; double-blade cutters are tougher for general work.

How do I keep tools in good condition?

Cut plastic only (never metal sprues or wire) with precision cutters, replace knife blades often, and keep files clear with a brass brush.
