Default Painters question

looking at a good consistent airbrush.

Simple question. I'm using a Veda-180 with a .5 needle would a iwata eclipse with a .5 needle make any difference.

What brush is everyone using..??

Cheers

I Use the one Jon at RCS sells (it's superb) - also have bunch of cheap eBay jobbies - but they are only used for blanket white / black as generally they are not very good and seals go quickly etc. Had lots I have had to bin.

Just bought the Iwata Neo to give one a go - around £45 / £50 - fingers crossed

I originally had a cheap <£10 brush which used to clog and spit so I replaced it with a £35 airbrush (can't remember model, but looks similar to the veda one when I just googled it). It was Ok but seems to block a lot and doesn't cope with create paints too well unless they are thinned.

I treated myself to am Iwata Revolution (bit cheaper than the eclipse ~£95) and it is superb.
Good for fine stuff with pressure turned down and also good for even coverage with pressure a bit higher

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...
