IWATA CUSTOM MICRON CM C THE BEST AIRBRUSH!!!

[@danielblythe5337]

Great video. I like that it shows in this demonstration, actual model or miniature parts, and a type of paint that modelers would use. After seeing this, this Airbrush is likely winning out as my next purchase for my 1/48 WWII aircraft model building.

Hey OPN would you mind telling me what PSI you are working with when using the iwata micron, what medium u use to thin your paint and what your medium to paint ratio is? I own a iwata micron cmc plus and am always interested in hearing what others are doing. Thank you so much for all that you do!

I'm an H&S guy but that has kinda shifted my horizons somewhat...

I have a Custom Micron, and the only thing I would say is that is quite unforgiving with what you shoot through it. Careful straining, and thinning required, because if it starts to hiccup, you cannot just dial up the pressure to get the job done. I think of my Iwata Eclipse as the AK-47 of airbrushes, it will spray almost anything without any hassle. Saying that, the Micron is better than I am, they are a light year leap in quality. Also, great video mate, you appear to have had a luxury manicure just for the video - nice touch! keep up your great work. All the best m.

Thank you for the great comment. The iwata eclipse is an all round champ of an airbrush and my current workhorse.

[@StarFyreXXX]

do you need to filter even Vallejo model air ? or would model air + some drops of thinner be ok in a micron? (cm-c v2)

[@mbenn8168]

StarFyreXXX I think it’s OK if the paint is fresh, I just had some bad experiences with little dry bits getting in there. I don’t know what OPN would say, but I think it’s best for ‘very’ thinned paint. It really has to be the ‘skimmed milk’ consistency, or even thinner.

[@mbenn8168]

Oh BTW, I would love to see you using the Micron in a model painting video, for that Top Gear road test vibe.

[@shaunmcinnis566]

I have a Pasche AB Turbo "a very rare beast for sure," probably the only thing that would beat that one. I sent it back to pasche for a factory reset and they did a decent job. I think they tested the sample with ink though which is not the same as paint. Great video BTW.

[@andresisthename]

I have the V1 series of this very same airbrush and its amazing. I put the Dru Blair short trigger on it though.

[@user-bm3ts2ql6s]

Can you prime with them? I am getting Creos which is pretty much a clone. It's .18 so im afraid primer will clog it constantly.

[@RyanHipp]

I am about to buy the Iwata Eclipse for mini painting - but your review has me looking in the direction of just getting the best with the Iwata Micron - my question is, for times you want to paint a big mini like a dragon or a frost giant, does the Micron spray wide enough when you need it? For mini painting is a Micron overkill? Really appreciate your video and your thoughts.

[@OrcPainterNerd]

The micron is amazing, the small needle nozzle set struggle, with heavier paints. Like varnishes and primers. I highly recommend the iwata eclipse as a all around work horse and the micron for special fine detail work. Hope this helps.

[@RyanHipp]

OrcPainterNerd This helps me tremendously. Thank you for your fast response, your video and your channel.

[@sdzachar]

Is it good for make up airbrushing

[@Nosh_Feratu]

wonder why this version doesnt have the MAC valve, same with the CM-B2, but the CM-C2 PLUS does? any idea?

[@andresisthename]

The CM-C Plus is this very same airbrush ( same body, needle, and head assembly) with the added benefit of the valve and some other very minor modifications, which in my opinion hardly justify the increased premium. Not everybody needs the valve so it is not present in the other Microns.

[@bottle1211]

It's worth. Makes glazing and blending easy.

[@OrcPainterNerd]

It's a very special airbrush indeed.

[@darren990]

sorry mate it costs too much ..whats wrong with the iwata cheaper ones are they no good then

[@OrcPainterNerd]

Iwata's are all leaders in there class, but the custom microns are very special. Think of it like the bugatti veyron of the airbrush world.

[@RobBob555]

i like my Iwata HP CH about £220.. a real all rounder workhorse..

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

Indeed, when you pay £200 for an Iwata you would expect to do what he is doing in this video, £500 is a joke, the parts are all mass produced at the end of the day in China {the copy of this brush is £20 lol, while you do pay for engineering and qlality thet really are taking the piss

[@kyllerkill]

Harder and steenbeck make a better or at least as good a airbrush for $200 cheaper and it’s more user friendly.

[@JamesMackenzie-sx2bu]

So totally unbiased then?

[@ataerus3066]

Looks fantastic! Just need to save my pennies for one 😁

[@OrcPainterNerd]

It is a truly amazing airbrush.

[@shavedmonkey9821]

a renault and a lambo will both do the job...but its how they do it that costs...micron is the dogs...worth it for fine atomization and accuracy...its a detail brush...painting toy soldiers dont do it justice

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Looks like a really nice brush bud! Thanks for the video!! 👍

[@kyllerkill]

Really good airbrush. But I don’t feel it’s $200 better then the harder and steenbeck. You get just as good lines and it’s easier to use. Just not worth over $500.

[@mischief_machines]

Whew I was shocked by the price, but I guess that's what you get for precision engineering. But that's just waaay out of my budget.

[@dellgattograndedellgattogr8107]

Iwata custom micron is a cheap copy of the original Japan Olympos .There is a video here in youtube comparing there needles. The superiority of the Olympos compare to iwata custom micron is day to night. And thats one third of the price.

[@tara.rankothvlogs]

Cool!

[@Mikey__R]

Tested by a Jedi, by the looks of it.
