#1. Buy the airbrush from Japan. Iwata airbrushes are much, much cheaper from Japanese sources, whether that's eBay, Amazon or even HLJ.
Secondly, I can't really figure out how your airbrush connects to your tank. The eBay listing says it has 1/4" fittings (I'm assuming at the compressor end... is it the same size on the airbrush end?!?), while the photos of the two air brushes show quick connect fittings. In simple terms though, you have three options:
a.) just use an Iwata hose. The 1/4" end will connect to your compressor, the 1/8" end will connect to your Iwata brush. If your existing hose already has a 1/8" connector on the end, it should connect to the Iwata just fine, too, but if you're unsure, you can just swap the hose. On the plus side, it will probably be a nicer hose than the one you've got; on the minus side, it may(!) not be compatible with your current brushes, or with any non-Iwata brushes you buy in the future.

b.) buy an adapter to fit your airbrush. There are loads of these:
https://airbrushes.com/index.php?cPath= ... enj1rrbp12 (and that's just the first site that came up when I searched 'iwata adapter'. This would attach to the end of your air hose, to adapt whatever that threading is, to an Iwata thread pitch. On the plus side, this would probably be the cheapest way to convert your existing air hose (if it needs converting?) and you *can* buy adapters to convert anything to anything else, but it would be kind of a pain in the ass to have to keep swapping connectors if you want to change brushes. So realistically, you'd probably leave it permanently attached, so you've got the same potential 'may not work with non-Iwata brushes' downside.
c.) Quick connects. The Amazon photos show quick connect couplers attached to the airbrushes, so if your air hose has a quick connect fitting attached, you can just buy the appropriate Iwata plug (the coupler should be universal).
https://airbrushes.com/index.php?cPath= ... enj1rrbp12 If your hose doesn't have a fitting... you can buy a standard size fitting, plus an Iwata plug to connect your airbrush to your hose. You can also buy Iwata hoses with the fitting attached. Biggest downside is that it would probably be your most expensive method, but on the plus side, you can easily swap your airbrush (any airbrush - you can get plugs for any brand), and easily remove it from the hose for cleaning/repairs/whatever. You won't have to keep screwing/unscrewing it from the hose, which is really nice.
Je ne regrette rien.
