If you like to remove the crown cap, you will appreciate Custom Micron’s crown cap dock, which stows the cap when not in use.

Offering total control for fine detail spraying, Iwata’s High Performance Plus Series airbrushes are designed around the legendary Iwata HP Series which established the Iwata name in the creative community over 50 years ago

When using a fine nozzles like the 0.18mm – 0.2 mm nozzle of the Takumi or HP-B Plus, make sure to use suitably thinned paints and fine pigment, as heavier pigments and higher viscosity paints can cause blockages. As a rule of thumb, thin paints to a milky consistency.
