RichPen Airbrushes

RichPen airbrushes offer gravity-feed, siphon-feed, and side-feed choices for detail work, models, illustration, and general painting. Start with your usual paint volume and coverage, then compare the Apollo, Phoenix, Spectra, and Sirius configurations.

Our U.S.-based team can help compare the model details and check available RichPen service parts. Browse the tools below, or ask us about the feed arrangement and compatible components before you choose.

Where Are RichPen Airbrushes Made?

RichPen airbrushes are made in Japan by Fuso Seiki Co., Ltd. Different feed arrangements and nozzle sizes give you options for small paint batches, bottle-fed work, and detailed applications.

Start with the painting task rather than nozzle size alone. Paint preparation, pressure, distance, and trigger control also affect the detail you can achieve. Our detail airbrush selection guide explains those tradeoffs across several tool configurations.

What Should You Compare Across the RichPen Series?

Compare nozzle size, paint-cup arrangement, and controls within each series. The Apollo and Phoenix ranges both include small-nozzle gravity-feed configurations, so the individual model matters more than the series name alone.

What Configurations Are in the RichPen Apollo Range?

The RichPen Apollo series includes gravity-feed airbrushes for controlled paint delivery. The current selection includes 0.2mm models and a 0.3mm option for painters who want a broader working range.

Which RichPen Phoenix Nozzle Configurations Can You Compare?

The RichPen Phoenix series includes the 0.2mm 222B and 222C alongside the 0.3mm 223C. Compare the cup configuration and the type of painting you do before choosing.

For a published look at the 222B, see our Airbrush Step by Step No. 81 feature. The magazine No. 80 workshop overview covers artwork made with the 222C.

Which RichPen Model Matches Your Feed and Nozzle Preference?

Compare the listed gravity-feed models for small-batch painting, the Spectra bottle-fed option for its reservoir arrangement, and Sirius for side feed. Use each product page to check specifications, available variants, and included components.

How Do You Choose a RichPen Airbrush for Model Painting?

Choose the nozzle and feed arrangement around your paint volume, color changes, and balance of detail and coverage. For miniatures and illustration, also consider whether the reservoir position gives you a comfortable view of the work.

  • Gravity feed: Useful for smaller paint batches and frequent color changes.
  • Siphon feed: Consider bottle capacity and the air supply needed by the model.
  • Side feed: An alternative reservoir position for visibility and handling.

A 0.2mm nozzle requires paint prepared for that small opening. A 0.3mm model can suit a wider mix of tasks, but neither size guarantees a particular line width. The broader airbrush collection provides other configurations if your project calls for more coverage.

Does a Smaller RichPen Nozzle Always Produce Finer Lines?

No. Paint preparation, pressure, spraying distance, and trigger control also affect line quality. Choose a nozzle that can handle your paint as well as the level of detail you need.

Where Can You Find Parts for Your RichPen Airbrush?

Replacement components are organized separately in the RichPen airbrush parts collection. Confirm the model and part number before ordering; a similar model name does not establish compatibility.

Are Apollo 113C and 113CA Parts Interchangeable?

Do not assume they are interchangeable. The RichPen Apollo 113C parts collection is identified for the 113C. Confirm explicit compatibility before fitting a 113C component to a 113CA.

How Do You Check Parts for a Phoenix 222B or 222C?

Browse Phoenix 222B and 222C replacement components and read each listing for the specific models it supports.

Which Parts Should You Check for a Phoenix 223C?

Use the RichPen Phoenix 223C parts collection for model-specific service components. Check the nozzle, needle, and head components as a matched system.

What Information Helps Us Find a RichPen Part?

Send us the exact model and, if available, the part number or a clear photo of the component. We can help you check the relevant listings and current availability.

How Should You Use and Clean a RichPen Airbrush Safely?

Use extraction and personal protection specified for the paint and cleaner, and follow the airbrush manual for cleaning. Follow the material labels and safety data sheets, including for water-based products that form airborne spray mist.

Flush with a compatible cleaner before paint dries, and follow the model instructions for deeper cleaning. Release air pressure before disassembly and protect the exposed needle tip from contact.
