I'm fairly new to airbrushing. Started with an older suction feed brush and fought paint thickness/clogging and cleanup time. I just borrowed a buddies Iwata CS and WOW!!!, what a difference in ease of use and the quality of the paint job. Clean up time is minimal between colors, and the brush had no clogging issues even with unthinned paint in cold temperatures. Great fluid control with this piece, and the overall quality is very high. There will be one of these airbrushes in my near future!
I’m not a pro but I’ve been airbrushing bodies for 12 years or so. I started with a dual action badger that was ok but not super smooth, made tbjust difficult enough that I went to a single action paasche and used it for a very very long time. Clean up on that one was a nightmare and I’m starting to do more bodies and trying to improve my skill level so I picked this up based on online reviews. Holy crap what a difference. This is by far the smoothest DA brush I’ve touched and clean up is a breeze. Sprays great patterns. Absolutely love it.
While the item I purchased didn't work out, I must say the customer service I received was excellent. I will continue to shop at amain Hobbies!
My first airbrush and it performed flawlessly. Easy to use, easy to clean, great control, and consistent results. Came highly recommended through an online painting group and I would echo that recommendation.
Nice, Nice, Nice. Started with Master airbrush and got the Iwata, now the Master airbrush has retired!
All eight reviews are positive, rating the Iwata HP-CS Eclipse 5 out of 5. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as easy to use and easy to clean, with fine control and consistent, high-quality spray results. Several note a clear improvement over previous brushes, including dual-action and single-action models and earlier beginner airbrushes. One reviewer says the brush resisted clogging even with unthinned paint in cold conditions. One reviewer recommends buying a 0.5 needle and nozzle alongside the supplied 0.3 for thicker paints and larger areas. One review concerns a purchase that did not work out but praises the seller's customer service, so it does not address the brush itself. No recurring problems with the airbrush are reported.
