The quick-flush cutaway cutaway handle allows easy access to the needle so that you can quickly empty the paint reservoir for cleaning. I’ve also learned to stop the paint flow first before stopping the air flow with my double action brush.

Unlike other Iwata airbrushes the Eclipse CS has a special ‘ floating nozzle‘ which is easier and less delicate to take apart to change. If you want to look down the length of the airbrush as you spray, the HP-BS paint cup does not obscure your vision as much. Shown above (not in the best way as I didn’t think to take shots showcasing this when I did it) you can see highlights on the individual abdominal muscles in this Warhammer 40,000 Hellbrute’s 10-pack. For miniature painters, the gravity-fed (paint cup at the top) HP-BS and HP-CS are normally the preferred choices as you are working with smaller amounts of paint.The purpose of collecting these files is to perform analysis that will contribute to the software development. The truth is that only the very tip of the nozzle is like that and you will hardly ever (if ever) need to detach that. It also does not cover damage caused by negligence, airbrushes that have been altered in any way, or cleaning or servicing. Many airbrushes have o-rings along the needle at some point and, as these are seals, they need to be tight, or might as well not be there. The quick-flush cutaway handle allows easy access to the needle so that you can quickly empty the paint reservoir for cleaning.

Ever since I got my Iwata Eclipse HP-CS, I has felt weird trying to push the needle into place after cleaning it. I arranged a replacement as I was writing a review and hadn’t taken all of the photos I needed to before this started happening. I managed to damage the nozzle, as the nozzle leaks paint without me operating the paint flow lever backwards. For larger models doing general base coat coverage or priming, I prefer a larger nozzle, such as a .

The unique multi-purpose, high flow Iwata Eclipse Series airbrushes are designed to easily atomize heavier sprayable mediums from a controlled fine line to controlled wide spray. Eclipse's high flow allows it to atomize a wider variety of liquids with less need for reducing or thinning. The airbrush itself is relatively simple with the only additional components in the box being a wrench to loosen the nose and a bottle of Iwata lube to maintain protect the mechanism.
