| | | | | | | Takumis are back in stock!
The specs for the Takumi changed slightly from the CM-SB, so we have redesigned the trigger pin for a better fit with smoother operation. Each trigger is adjusted by hand to fit the new Takumi's larger trigger cradle. These new triggers are now in stock, so place your order now, and get the NEW Takumi upgraded with the Blair SoftSpring, and Low-Rider trigger, plus free shipping (in the US) for $495 (with these upgrades, the total price would otherwise be $819.92!)
There is simply no better deal for this airbrush on the planet! |
| | | Two new Classroom in a Box kits will be released in the coming weeks.
One of them will be for intermediate to advanced students, the other will be for all levels of experience. Keep and eye out for the next newsletter! |
