I’ve owned and used airbrushes made by Badger (pretty good but some parts quickly wore out), Harder & Steenbeck (frustrating & troublesome with acrylics) and an Iwata Neo (at the budget end of the range and just OK), but this Iwata Eclipse HP-CS is the best airbrush I ever used bar none. My experience with this airbrush is almost exclusively with acrylics by Humbrol, Tamiya, Gunze and Vallejo Air but also occasionally with enamels. One specific feature of the HP-CS is the 0.35mm needle and nozzle, quite large for fine detailing but OK if you reduce the air pressure below 15psi. However, the big benefit of the 0.35mm needle/nozzle is that it never – and I do mean NEVER – blocks when using acrylics. You don’t even need to mix-in flow improver (brilliant product BTW) or thinners, though this helps achieve a fine-coat finish. The only airbrush I ever used before which didn’t block was a Badger, but that needed thorough cleaning between paints and some parts needed replacing after a few months. The second great feature of this Eclipse HP-CS airbrush is the integrated 1/3oz cup seamlessly welded into the airbrush body, so it can’t be removed by screwing it off. The HP-C range has this larger 1/3 oz cup, the HP-B a 1/16 oz cup and the HP-A just a small 1/32 oz recess for tiny amounts. Cleaning is a breeze because despite the high precision manufacture and quality finish, there aren’t too many parts and due to the very short distance between cup and nozzle you don’t need to dismantle it to clean out the nozzle; in short, very low maintenance and quick to change between colours.
