Iwata Eclipse Gravity Airbrush 0.35mm reviews

After using a generic airbrush I realised the huge difference it makes to get a proper one. This airbrush is solid, no hassle and works. Feels solid and heavy, airflow is without hiccups, and it uses liquid to the last ounce. The generic airbrush I was using, I couldn’t use the last drop in the pigment holder. Love it.

I bought this a couple of years ago to replace a cheap airbrush, and have really got into using it in the last few weeks. Really easy to use, easy to clean, makes something I had struggled with previously a pleasure. Very happy with my purchase.

Writing this a little late as I bought mine a while ago and had it recently donated to charity (stolen). I bought a cheap brand just to get by while saving to get another Iwata and the difference in quality is distinctly noticeable both to the eye and the touch. It is robust enough for excessive use and it did what I expected from it in this price range

I've used it a few times I'm no air veteran but it moves heavier pigments and primer easily. I was using it around 30psi. The box says optimal is 25 to 35. It is double action and has the spanner and lube in the box.

Great beginner airbrush. The needle size is perfect for both detailing and coating. It is also easy to clean. Just remove the nozzle cap and needle, then flush with a cleaner of choice.

However, I experienced issues with it. The o-ring on the nozzle cap snapped and the nozzle tip screw broke after almost 3 months of use. The o-ring can be replaced by the o-ring from the back cap. The nozzle tip, however, needs to be replaced entirely.
