Dick Montgomery Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 Any suggestions on where I can buy individual parts for Paasche airbrushes?
Mark Deliduka Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 If they don't, then Coast Airbrush here in SoCal will.
Dick Montgomery Posted May 1 Author Report Posted May 1 Thanks Eric and Mark. I'll look into it later today.

"Later Today" meaning as I eat breakfast..... and it looks like Spraygunner.com carries a lot of parts. I'll check Coast Airbrush a bit later. Again...thanks guys. When my brother passed away I was invited to clean out his "modeling stash" and found four or five Paasche airbrushes.....mostly disassembled. I'll try to reassemble them and bring them up to working conditions.
Nick Filippone Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 I get my Paasche Airbrush parts from Amazon- quick and easy. I have also dealt directly with Paasche.
Dick Montgomery Posted Sunday at 07:18 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 07:18 PM Yep. I think there are a sufficient number of potential sources that I ought to be able to restore the airbrushes I have in the collection. Thanks to those who replied to my query.
Ron Bell Posted Sunday at 10:29 PM Report Posted Sunday at 10:29 PM I have a Paache "H" model that I have been using for over 30 years and it still works fine. I'm sure it can't do all the intricate fancy stuff that other airbrushes can, but then again, I'm not skilled enough to pull that off anyway.
Nick Filippone Posted Monday at 06:07 PM Report Posted Monday at 06:07 PM I’m with you, Ron. To me, the single action Paasche H1 is the AK -47 of airbrushes: neglect it, abuse it, fail to clean it adequately- it works perfectly every time. And I have done some pretty fine work with the small tip and obtained great results. After several flirtations with fancier, balky and temperamental double action airbrush’s, I now use the Paasche H1 exclusively! Nick
Dick Montgomery Posted Tuesday at 04:53 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 04:53 PM Agree that Paasche H1 is a classic. I'll try to restore these airbrushes to working condition, if for no other reason than to honor my brother's memory. If I can get them back to working conditions I'd even use them from time to time.
Dick Montgomery Posted Wednesday at 06:17 PM Author Report Posted Wednesday at 06:17 PM Found what I needed.... now to get a list of the parts and I'll submit my order.
noelsmith Posted Wednesday at 10:01 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 10:01 PM (edited) The Paasche H appears to be a very good, reliable and robust workhorse for the scale modeller. Over here in the UK, the Paasche company never really bothered pushing their airbrush products, even when Badger was becoming popular and aggressively marketed to the UK model making community back in the 1970's. In my opinion Paasche could have done well at that time and have gained a good slice of the UP market. Aerograph branded airbrushes were made in the UK by DeVillbiss back then. High quality but only pushed toward the graphic design and art markets. They realised a little late and developed the Sprite aimed for scale modellers. Since then Iwata and Harder&Steenbeck appear to be favoured more than most others. There are of course other good quality airbrushes out there, but also a lot of cheap and nasty stuff too !
