2mm projection on H&S medium needle, although the finer is about 1/2>1mm longer & the coarse a similar amount shorter.

My airbrushes (all based on the 100/200 series Badger) have the tip sticking out 2-3mm with the spray regulator taken OFF. With the regulator in place about half that distance.

So long folks!

Howdy!

I'd say a few (2-5) diameters of the nozzle opening. Does it make sense? Other way around, after opening the needle "all the way" it should still be visible from outside looking from the side of the airbrush. Hope I make myself clear here. Hope it helps, have a nice day
