Ah, I see. My old (Hungarian) Alder airbrush has the self centering nozzle, but this one doesn't.In the picture above the nozzles (copper colour) are of the self-centering type. The other 3 pieces are the nozzle-caps. Yours should be like this (probably):

The nozzle caps could be the same - I don't know.
I asked because I too bought some Chinese airbrushes in the past, under different names but basically the same and found out that there are (where) 2 types of nozzle caps only. The first one is shown above and the second one looks like this:

The nozzles in both cases are the same.
Nowadays even cheaper (or the cheapest) Chinese airbrushes started coming with auto-centering nozzles in different designs.

Some of them have the same old nozzle caps, some not. Names like Sagud, Nasedal, Neoeco, Sidaco (I suspect the more expensive Gaahlery and Fengda too, the latter sold under the name Timbertech) use the same designs or even the same manufacturers in China. Only the quality of their products varies: between worst and best.
Without stripping it completely yet, these are the nozzle fittings of the Sagud I have:
The 0.3 mm nozzle, as already fitted in the airbrush...
...and the nozzles for the 0.2 and 0.5mm needles.

I like the way you say ............................FOR NOW!!!!
Thank you for the details!
I'm searching for something new and wanted to try the auto-centering nozzles (in any possible form).
Wish you fun with the new airbrush!
The good part in your case is that those nozzles/caps/needles are relatively cheap and easy to find...so far.
Cheers!

Yeah that's like mine, iwata knockoff. But it works as good as an iwata and was $30 as opposed to $150+.

The worst thing about this is that it actually makes sense.

Just came, to be done as a USAAF captured that was later "liberated" by the RAF; lots of large red rectangles and yellows
Some may recall a while ago that I posted in the Tools section, a company was making pre-cut foam wheel well inserts to serve as paint masks. I liked the idea but not the cost. Recently while looking for something else, I came across a product called "Eva Foam". Cosplayers use it to make their costumes. The gerbil wheels started turning and I thought, why not
I got the 3mm white for about 9$ plus a little shipping. The sheet is about 14"x19" so a couple hundred masks can be made. I did a quick test drive below. You should do this before you close the wing halves up so that you can trace around the wheel well and then cut it out. A new sharp blade should be used I think, I used small scissors which kinda sorta almost worked. Upon reflection, 5mm thickness may be better, I dunno

Wooo that's pretty pricey. I think I'll stick with my A/C foam. $2 and last a long time.

Just checked this foam out at our local store, a 20 x 40 in slab of 2mm, A$9.40 to member, or A$14 to non member. May have to think on this one.
