The Airbrush:

The Iwata Eclipse CS is the best all-around airbrush and one of the favourites of many airbrush artists, especially scale modellers. Eclipse’s high flow allows it to atomize a wider variety of liquids with less need for reducing or thinning. Eclipse Series offers a broad spray range, as compared to other airbrushes, where it is possible to achieve a controlled fine line to controlled wide spray. It comes with a generous 0.24oz / 7ml fluid cup with lid that is ideal for colour mixing. Iwata’s spring-steel needle resists breakage and the PTFE needle packings are solvent resistant for longevity. Iwata Eclipse airbrushes come with a head cap spanner that is used to remove the head cap when accessing the nozzle. Also included is Iwata Lube, which is used to lubricate the needle and main lever mechanism. It’s got a fragile looking needle, but don’t be fooled, it’s very springy and tougher than most airbrushes in the market. It’s durable and one of the easiest airbrushes to clean which makes it our most popular airbrush.

The Neo CN Gravity-Feed Dual-Action Airbrush comes with interchangeable 0.24oz / 7ml fluid cup with lid that is large enough for colour mixing and an additional 0.05oz / 1.5ml colour cup that is ideal when using small amounts of spray medium. The airbrush will also hold a small amount of paint without a cup attached, which is ideal for paint touch-ups when only a tiny amount of paint is needed. The Neo for Iwata CN gravity feed airbrush is suited for working in small to medium sized areas with small amounts of paint. It performs well at lower air pressures, which helps it create greater detail. It is better quality than most of its cheaper counterparts available in the market, with easily available spare parts.

The Revolution BR Gravity-Feed Dual-Action Airbrush features a unique, comfort handle. Iwata Revolution BR has a 0.05oz / 1.50ml fluid cup that is ideal when using small amounts of spray medium. Iwata’s spring-steel needle resists breakage and the PTFE needle packings are solvent resistant for longevity. Included is the Iwata Nozzle Spanner that is used to remove the nozzle for cleaning, or you may purchase our Iwata Nozzle Wrench to easily remove or tighten your airbrush nozzle without fear of damaging it. Also supplied is Iwata Lube, which is used to lubricate the head needle and main lever mechanism.

All Iwata Airbrushes have easily available spare parts and the quality is good enough that Iwata are happy to back it with a 5 Year Iwata Medea Warranty.

The Air compressor:

The Iwata Smart Jet airbrush compressor is compact and quiet producing a pre-set working pressure of 20-25 PSI. It is an excellent choice for general purpose applications that require low to medium air pressure. The Iwata Smart Jet is equipped with auto shut-off technology, which enables the compressor to shut itself off when not in use. This feature upgrade is known to lengthen the life span of the compressor motor because it reduces the workload of the motor over time.

The Iwata Smart Jet has a moisture filter that prevents pulsation and traps condensation, delivering clean, dry air. The fully adjustable air regulator is controlled with the regulator knob and the gauge displays precise air pressure. The Smart Jet also features an air intake filter that protects the motor from dust and particulates and allows easy access for quick filter changes. Iwata Smart Jet comes with a built-in airbrush holder and a high strength polyurethane airbrush hose for Iwata airbrushes. Also included are air hose adaptors for Badger, Aztek and Paasche brand airbrushes, a replacement air intake filter and a detailed operation manual.
