Badger Air-Brush Company Stock Number Vega T6083 Number 3 Needle (all Vegas except 600). Internal mix airbrushes have a needle that runs through the length of the airbrush. When operating the airbrush, the needle retracts into the airbrush, controlling the flow of paint. The needle is made of a precision manufactured durable stainless steel, machined to a sharp tip. Compatible with number 3 tip #T6143 and number 3 air cap #T6133. Avoid dropping the airbrush, as a bent tip on the needle will compromise the spray pattern. Badger Air-Brush parts are proudly made in America.
