I lucked out Big Time with getting exactly that brush. I went to a local "Hobby" shop and looked into the clearance section. And there was one for a mark down of only $33.00. The ONLY issue that I found was that it didn't have a needle in it. So I bought it and disassembled it to discover that. After cleaning the brush, I went online and bought a needle. Little did I realize that THAT store also sold needles for only $11.00. So I bought 2. Got it home, reassembled the brush, and it has worked great for my model railroading since. And with the little amount that I had to pay to get it up and working, I was able to get almost EVERY accessory to buy for the brush...and it just barely cost more than a brand new brush. New cleaning kit, needle guard, cleaning tray, 32 oz of cleaner and more. I usually hate going into that company's stores, but I have to admit that really was one of the best "finds" I have every come across. Thanks for the video mate.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

That’s fantastic you got an amazing brush for a fantastic price definitely a lucky find. All the best and thanks for the kind words re the video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MadZaxx]

I just got this as my first airbrush as a recommendation of one of my buddies that play Warhammer and I am excited to use it! Thank you for posting this. Well done and to the point!

[@davecollins73]

I purchased this airbrush a few months ago after watching one of your older video's on it. Could'nt be happier with it! Cheers!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you glad you are happy with it they are a fantastic brush which you will have for many years and it will keep performing 👍🏻

[@ArmorStudioNYC]

Picked up this airbrush after graduating from the masters G22 and its a dream, approx 4 years later it sprays just the same as when I got it out the box, also its a dream to breakdown and clean!

[@joeroberts2860]

I got my first HP-CS about 2 years ago and a month later I got another one I the way paint. About 4 months ago I got an Iwata CM-SB with the 0.18 needle. I really love the Iwata airbrushes. I now want the Iwata CM-C micron

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes all great brushes, in regards to the CM-C (they are fantastic but keep in mind they don’t have a solid lid on the colour cup) so you may wish to look at the CMC + instead which also has the mac valve, that said it is a little more pricey so the other option would be to use one of your other lids or buy a replacement if you like a fixed lid on your micron to avoid spillages 👍🏻🤔

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

wow i just learned why i been having trouble with this air brush i bet i have the spring to tight THX for the detail video of just how to use this

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you so much for your kind words and glad that this video helped 👍🏻

[@andrewhatfield4019]

After watching this video - which I wish I’d seen before buying the dreaded cheapo airbrush, I invested in the Eclipse and straight away the difference is like a hang glider and a Jumbo jet. The advice given here is absolutely spot on and after nearly 40 years away from the airbrush I have watched nearly all the videos from Airbrush Asylum and can’t praise them enough. I am now back practicing to get my hands in - I used a Badger 200 single action back in the day, but I like the double action brushes which give so much better control - once you get used to it of course, but the exercises and tutorials here are really great and I feel I’m getting the hang of things, if at a steady pace. Thanks to Airbrush Asylum for such a great series of videos - and sound advice!

[@douglasmcveigh5559]

At least you get the benefit of being able to appreciate the quality of a more expensive tool.

[@gordonenquist36]

I agree with your show and tell of the Eclipse, I have one. Another selling point I would like to add is the nozzle. That is the part the needle and paint go through last. It is a "big part" of the assembly and is easy to clean, see and find as compared to the Iwata HPC Plus or the Iwata Revolution where that part is like a "grain of rice" in size. Also the Badger Patriot is a good all round airbrush for beginners, for ease of use and parts cleaning. Cheers

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you for your comment and that’s a great point , I plan on doing a full disassembly / reassembly video showcasing all the parts , but yes having the larger nozzle definitely makes it easier then losing one of the other tiny nozzles which are so expensive ! My advice is get the iwata cleaning mat well worth the investment 👍🏻

[@michaelspain7621]

I enjoy your informative videos,I have learned a lot about the Iwata airbrush's performance... would you do a video on the Eclipse BCS capability of doing fine line detail ? ...thank you for your efforts in helping us newbies!!

[@mikecleeksr3269]

I’m going to buy one tomorrow and it will be my first airbrush 😎 I’ve watched a lot of your videos thanks

[@RCrawlerLeon]

I just ordered an Iwata Eclipse HP CS and well I liked the detail of your explanation, despite having seen many videos related to this airbrush, none of them showed me this versatility, it is much appreciated, well the only complaint is that the airbrush is They ship within 15 days because they did not have it in stock but hey.I am going to paint a couple of RC bodies in lexan and ABS. I still don't understand very well about the mixes and the use of candys, but it turns out well, finally you have to learn to use Createx Color paints, they are a new experience. for me.

[@duanemarshall9486]

My favorite work horse. I use one with the .35 and another with the .5 needle setup. just a simple sturdy design easy to clean and maintain coupled with great performance.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes agree totally , such a fantastic brush which will last you for years to come at any skill level 👍🏻

[@TheYjmfan]

Got this brush recently well pleased with it.

[@ProspectorsGhost]

Nice informative review video upon the IWATA Eclipse HP-CS Airbrush. I'm not a professional Airbrusher, and I have no desire to become a professional airbrusher. I'm retired, so in retirement, and to keep myself busy, I do different things as hobbies. One of those hobbies is tinkering around with airbrushing as a personal home hobby. At the present time, I'm highly considering the IWATA HP-CS airbrush as my next upgrade. In that upgrade, I'm thinking about upgrading to an IWATA airbush as IWATA airbrushes are very good airbrushes. Not that Badger , Paasche, and Harder & Steenbeck aren't nice and great performing airbrushes as they are. A lot of professional Airbrusher's swear by those brands and I repect their opinions and their judgments. But because I'm not a professional airbrusher, and I am not having to earn my living at airbrushing, I'm just not willing to put out that kind of extra amount of monetary funds for those particular higher priced brands at this time. However, a lot of airbrusher's also swear by IWATA airbrushes as well (including many of those professional airbrushers). I have seen many videos upon airbrush reviews and comparisons. But those reviews and comparison test videos all seem to be upon cheep airbrushes compared to more expensive (or high priced), airbrushes. But none of those video's seem to perform a review and/or comparison test on any airbrush and how that particular airbrush would perform when using 3 (or more), different sized needles and nozzles. They alll seem to use only 1 sized needle and nozzle when doing their review and/or comparison, or they will do a review and comparison with more than one airbrush but each airbrush uses a different sized needle and nozzle. That's OK in itself, but it does not actually show what each airbrush itself is possibly capable of doing overall upon its own when using more than just one sized needle and nozzle. However, even in this review video of the IWATA Eclipse HP-CS airbrush it was not performed while using 3 different sized needles and nozzles. That is also OK in itself. But it still does not show what that IWATA Eclipse HP-CS could possibly do overall when it is used with 3 different sized needles and nozzles. But, to me, it would have been an even better review of the IWATA Eclipse HP-CS if it had been performed while using 3 different sized needles and nozzles. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think others besides myslef (including beginners), would like to see review and comparison tests of different airbrush brands and moddles and how they each perform when using more than just one sized needle and nozzle. Could you, yourself, (or anybody else for that matter), possibly produce such a review and/or comparison video using all IWATA airbrushes, including this IWATA Eclipse HP-CS airbrush but each time using 3 different needles and nozzles in each of those different IWATA airbrushes? - Or can each of the IWATA airbrushes be used with more than one sized needle and nozzle, and perform as great as when used with only one sized needle and nozzle? - Just asking. Anyway, "Thank You" for producing and sharing this great review video on the IWATTA Eclipse HP-CS airbrush.

[@michaelspain7621]

Your videos and product exposure must be priceless for Iwata product , media,exposure ! 🤔

[@monastery4090]

Just got this, my first airbrush! Looks great noticed they have some very high end ones. I'll upload a video of my project I'm painting

[@TheJonah67]

it was on your recomendation that I bought one of these and it is as you said! an Awesome bit of kit. Thank you

[@nickbarker9712]

It's like a good pickup truck. Dont really matter what kind you buy as long as it works best for you. I've tried lots of others and even have a 30 dollar Amazon special I absolutely love but the iwata works the same way every single time and you cant beat consistency in a precision tool.

[@NickBmc]

Any videos that you made on how I should use / setup for a beginner airbrushed ?

[@TheVaktmejster]

My wife just bought me one 😍 Suuuuuperhappy with it!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes, they are a fantastic brush you will be using it for years and years 👍🏻👍🏻

[@michaelspain7621]

Because you demonstrate to us users your experience with Iwata airbrushes, perhaps you can suggest they offerr to make their products more interchangeable. Like the Paache Talon with several needle/ nozzle sizes for each model, the pre set handle for the Eclipse, pressure regulator on the Revolution, etc Please use your extensive contact and professional airbrush,experience to influence them.😉

[@stephentreanor9056]

Bought mine today, thanks!

[@olliessurfgear]

Hi Carson. Great video. Could you do a video where you convert the tip & needle from the eclipse cs to the bcs please? Would like to see how the bcs would perform in the 2 configurations. Cheers mate!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks mate , I believe the BCS runs a 0.5mm however I personally don’t own a BCS I would assume that you would need to swap the entire head assembly as well as needle in order to covert it to a 0.35mm …I could quiz iwata and see if I can make a vid ? Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻

[@olliessurfgear]

@@AirbrushAsylum that sounds cool! Im a textile artist so it’s siphon for me. How’s Trident treating you?

[@michaelspain7621]

Yes, me too. querious as to the detail of both the Revolution & Eclipse with a .35 needle set...sounds like the Eclipse has the advantage of cleaning ease and an fragileness?

[@michaelspain7621]

Yes,I am debating whether to get the the Eclipse in siphon feed with .35mm needle or gravity feed ?

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

this is the one i got couple years ago for christmas it was a lot better than the 20 dollar one i was using from harbor freight dont take much to paint lures with stencils i not a mad custom painter i dont look at people throwing couple colors on lure mad custom painter

[@fattoamanowoodwork3638]

great video and yes, it helped me to choose this very one as I was looking at this model specifically. I was just wondering if i'd be able to spray 2k primer and 2k paint (normally for automotive.

[@HomelessOnline]

Is the reservoir cap intended to reduce spills? Also, is it required for normal operation? (edit) Awesome video, BTW. Mine just came in, I was very pleased to find this.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes it does minimize the chance of spills however it is not essential in order to use your brush 👍🏻 hope that helps and enjoy your eclipse they are such a great airbrush .

[@markmcintosh6968]

I'm new to airbrushing, I purchased this brush. Could you please do a project using this brush only?

[@MusicMinisterJP7]

Hi, very nice demonstration of this Eclipse. However, is this Eclipse different from any other iwata? This one referred to as "Eclipse All-Star" kit is available at Hobby Lobby for $149.99, but as an Iwata eclipse HP-CS it sells for $180. What is the difference?

Is there a catalog or web sight about model(Eclipse) accessories ?

I am waiting on the new cm.sb takumi to arrive here in Australia , I have already spoken with iwata and they will be sending me one to get the video done for all of our viewers 👍🏻 that said also still happy to do one on the regular cm.sb if you wish 🤔

[@garthcombrinck7906]

I wish i could get a airbrush like that

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Lol…thank you , I’m sure you can …this is just some basic lines and dots but practicing these exercises is very important to help you get the hang of the double action technique 👍🏻 take a look at this vid which will show you just that : kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5-9lKKuoNqsos0

[@michaelspain7621]

Thank you for the Eclipse review with great info. ...could it do finer lines/detail if it had a , say .20mm needle set ? ...and is such available for the Eclipse ? ...thanks for any input !

[@michaelspain7621]

It would b much less expensive to get a finer needle set for an Eclipse ,than purchase another airbrush!

[@michaelspain7621]

I have a old Thayer& Chandler, double action,side feed airbrush. I have used/found Paasche V bottles,to spray with much success. Does this give me both siphon feed and gravity ?

[@michaelspain7621]

Given an Iwata Eclipse... One with siphon feed,.35mm needle. Second with gravity feed and .5mm needle. How different is the fine detail,close up ?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

You will be able to achieve finer detail with a 0.35mm and quicker coverage with a 0.5mm . It comes down to practice, you should be able to get a fine line out of pretty much any airbrush if you have your paint and psi mix right and you are skilled enough to achieve the fine lines 👍🏻

[@sitapp]

This might surprise you, for some reason mine won’t spray with the air cap removed

Is the Iwata Revolution with a .35mm needed,capable of the fine detail of an Eclipse with the same needle size,.35mm ?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

The revolution could achieve it …but it will be much harder to do than with the eclipse it really all comes down to your paint mix and psi ratios 👍🏻

[@kevinmalesic9430]

Can you spray auto paint with it for touch ups?

[@lukestatooinebuyers]

Something I’ve been obsessing is what happens if threads on valve body where you connect the hose to eventually gets stripped. You can’t replace that like the others

[@acandnine12]

I have an HP-CS and noticed that a piece flaked out of the inside of the cup this morning. What am I looking at in the coming uses? Is this just going to get worse and become useless at some point? Will it not be a big deal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any and all help.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

If the coating is flaking off (not wear) which happens and won’t effect the performance then I would contact iwata or take it back to where you purchased it and that should be covered under warranty. In all my years I have never heard of this happening , hope that info helps 🤞🏻👍🏻

Yes , it can pretty much any airbrush (within reason) can perform fine detail it’s just a matter of how smoothly it can do it and it really comes down to the skill level of the artist 👍🏻

[@AirbrushAsylum]

The locking nut holds the needle in place so that when you move your trigger back and forth it retracts the needle, to allow more paint to come out or only a little for finer spray . You need to make sure that this locking nut is re-tightened when you are finished cleaning your brush (mainly when flushing through the back) otherwise you will have paint in your cup and pull back on the trigger and nothing will happen !

No fan cap, no buy

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Fair enough…I’m the complete opposite..I never use the air cap at all, I take it off as soon as I start airbrushing and only put it back on once I finish. The only reason I keep them is to protect the needle once I’m done painting otherwise I find them useless on iwata’s as the airbrush performs so much better without one 😉
