Two new airbrushes coming from GSI-Creos

From the GSI-Creos Europe Facebook page.

Two new airbrush models will be introduced at the Tokyo Hobby Show in September. Both are marked as available in Japan in January of 2020.

The PS276 (PS274??) is a side-feed double-action airbrush with a 0.3mm nozzle and a 10cc bowl.

The PS771 is a gravity-feed double-action with a 0.18mm nozzle and a 10cc cup. For the life of me I can't tell how this one differs from the popular PS770 except for the chrome - rather than satin - finish. Does anyone on this site read/translate Japanese?

Interesting, the 276 looks kind of like a side feed Iwata Revolution.
771 looks very pretty. I’m surprised how much the Chrome finish improves the look of it. It’ll also match the Iwata much better if the 771 Head System gets fitted to a Micron.
I’m really impressed with my Creos and would likely go for a 771 rather than a .18 Micron setup if I were in the market. Unfortunately I don’t read the language so can’t help with what the difference is lol.

I didn't know that. Will have a look. Only got 1 screw in side feed but one never knows.

For the PS771, Google Translator says this:

PS771 Mr. Airbrush Custom Grade 018 Double Action Scheduled to be released in November JAN code 4973028 739336 Mr. AIR BRUSH CUSTOM 018 DOUBLE ACTION ¥ 30,000 (tax not included) This airbrush flagship model has been thoroughly tuned so that even our low-pressure linear compressors can be used for delicate painting, making it possible to express airbrushes with the highest degree of accuracy. PS-771

I've seen it for pre-order from one Japanese company and suggested a November release date.

I just wish they would have changed the cup size. If you need that much paint, you're probably using the wrong brush. Even the Micron-C has a smaller cup.

The C cup is bigger than the C+ cup which this is. People use bigger cups so that they do not have to refill so often. If you think they are big then you must see the ones from the now discontinued Kustom (not Custom) range.
 
The PS770 is for detail work. Wouldn’t you prefer a smaller cup like on the Micron B since you’re less likely to use a large amount of paint and it’s easier to see over?

100%,
If you need a larger amount of paint its probably safe to say you also don't need a Micron to do it. There are plenty of side and bottom feeds that can accommodate the necessary volume of paint. One of the reasons I really like the NEO is that removable cup.

The PS770 was originally introduced by Gunze (the "G" in GSI) as a brush to be used in scale modeling. Gunze sells some amazing model kits. I'm not too sure they made any distinction in regard to "for detail" vs. general airbrushing... the larger, "C" sized cups are the trend in general in the airbrush world these days. So much so, that "A" cups are being phased out or dropped from production. The "C" is my least favorite, and least used size of brush - but, that is my own personal preference... For me, it has way more to do with weight and balance vs. seeing over or around the cup.

People don't use Microns just because they do detail work. I like it because it sprays much easier than other guns. If you need a little paint, it will do it. Need a lot and it will do a fair bit. Also one reason why the C and C+ cups are popular are the lids. People mix inside the cups shake them to mix. You can't do that with any other models. And looking over the cup is such a misconception. Nobody looks down the barrel like with a gun. It is always off the side.

That’s fair enough and honestly the cup size doesn’t affect how I see my progress; I just find it unwieldy. Generally, though, it’s not a great idea to mix your paints in the airbrush cup.

I’m probably gonna buy the 771.

Because, you know, it’s an airbrush.

I don't know if this will help, or hurt ;) Cm-C+ on top, PS770 on the bottom -

I can get the PS770/771 for about $200 cheaper, so yes, that helps :)
Although I did spray some ridiculously thin lines with my new HP-B Plus the other day and I’m really hard-pressed to think of a legitimate reason to buy either Gunze or Microns. It literally looked like I drew them with a fine tipped pen.

Most airbrushes can make very thin lines. Even with my 0.5 Eclipse I can do eye lashes on a A4 portrait. The Micron just does it so much easier.
