Iwata-Medea High Performance Hi Line AH Dual Action / Small Gravity Feed Cup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this airbrush for priming, base coating, and base color highlighting miniatures (warmachine and warhammer). It's precise, has a no-slop, clean trigger, cleans up relatively nicely at the end of each session, and has a high quality/construction feel to it.
I would recommend the HP-BH over this model (HP-AH) not because of the slightly larger amount of paint that the HP-BH holds, but because when holding the airbrush pointing 'down,' the 'no cup' shape of the HP-AH risks the paint spilling out over the top front of the brush, in the the airstream, and splattering paint all over your artwork! This is, of course, completely avoidable if you simply keep the brush relatively level, so this only happens with 'user error.' The BH, on the other hand, has an angled cup, so you can point the airbrush down very far (maybe 65-70 degrees 'down') before paint spilling is a concern. The angled cup on the HP-BH takes this risk out of the equation so one less thing to think about.
I also rarely use the Micro Air Control valve on the airbrush, as I have an adjustable regulator built into my compressor, and it's more precise/measurable to control the air pressure there. So you could get away with the HP-B Plus and save a few bucks. The main thing you need for painting miniatures is the small needle size (in this case, .2mm).

Featuring the ultimate in air control directly at the nozzle with Iwata's new Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve Technology, the Hi-Line Series doesn't just change air pressure instantly - it changes the way you airbrush.Designed for artists who need extreme control of detailed spraying, this series uses larger diameter threads on the nozzle than the High Performance Series. This makes the nozzle much stronger when tightening it onto the airbrush and ensures better centering of the nozzle when it screws onto the airbrush body.The Hi-Line Series is now made with Teflon needle packing, a dual-purpose cutaway, pre-set handle and one-piece auxiliary lever/needle chucking guide.

Iwata-Medea Eclipse HP G6 Pistol Grip Airbrush Gun / Side Feed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this product after looking at many of the reviews. I wanted something for doing spray tanning and for area coverage when doing body paints or just needing to cover an area. I like the adjustable fan and after taking it apart and back together again the quality is excellent. This was not the least expensive product but since I own other Iwata airbrushes I chose to stay with the Iwata. (the hose fitting are different sizes with badger, paasche, etc) I must say I really am happy thus far in the choice both for quality and operation.
This is a side feed gun so you can mount a gravity cup or a bottom feed by just rotating the jar which makes this a useful feature. I have used both and for my tanning I purchased a stainless steel cup that I could not find listed for the G6 but for the G2 or one of the other guns but it it is side feed and works great. The one jar that comes with the gun is ok but not as easy to clean or use as the SS cups. Also consider the air compressor - while you can spray with a smaller compressor (maybe not recommended) it takes a little larger volume (cfm's) to use it fully - I run a studio series and it seems to work fine.
I shopped around for price and found you can definitely pay more at a retail art store but the online gives you a better deal if you can just avoid the impulse buying urges. It is hard to have in your hand but walk away. That is of course if the price is close-- but when it almost 50% higher I come to my senses and run.

Iwata-Medea Eclipse HP BCS Dual Action Bottle Feed Air Brush ECL 2000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not a bad airbrush. Build quality is great, good quality chrome plating, easy to clean and sprays pretty good. Recommended psi is about 20+
Not good for super detailed work, i.e you're painting a model of a P-51 Mustang and you need to weather it and spray on exhaust stains, then this is the wrong airbrush for that, excellent for when masks are used, applying base coats, and covering large areas.

REGDAB Airbrush Lubricant 1 oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this for a badger renegade velocity and it works great in keeping the parts well lubricated and moving friction free. Works just as good as the more expensive iwata super lube at just about half the price. 1oz will last a long time, as a drop will lube all the parts that need it each time lubrication is required. Will work on all metal airbrushes.
Cons: dropper hole is too big, I end up just using my fingers to avoid getting lubricant everywhere. Not sure what's in this stuff but it kinda smells like corn oil... looks like it too...
