Tamiya bottles will fit the Badger cap assembly but you have to trim
the pickup tube somewhat. Heat it slightly and bend it so
it aims toward the bottom corner of the bottle. Trim it so it is
just barely off the bottom, right in the corner when the brush is
leaned forward, and you can pick up virtually all of the paint.
| also how can I determine the needle and head sizes used on this
model? I would eventually like to airbursh super fine pencil lines but
with what is provided that is not possible. about 1/8" line is as small
as it will go. |

The Fine head has an "F" stamped on it, the medium an "M", and the
large an "L". The fine needle has one band around the rear, the
medium needle has two, and the large needle has 3.
| The color cup I mentioned IS for siphon feed brushes. The 150 is a dual
action siphon fed brush. I think the cup he needs is P# 50-0482. This
should be available from Dixie Art or Bear Air, or you can order direct
from Badger. |

Bill is right, there is one available. I have one but seldom use it because it doesn't have a cap on it.
