Hello everyone!
Hopefully you can help me decide what airbrush I should get as my first airbrush.
I am a total newbie so I really really need some help!
So my question is:
What airbrush should I get that is an all around good airbrush for base coating, priming, and also some detail work...like panel lines for example. ( I am not sure if you consider that detail work...but I do. For anything else smaller...like the cockpit buttons I would probably use a brush).
I searched online and on my local stores and I've found these airbrushes that are around my budget ( I will provide the **names**, **prices**, **links**..and what I know and think about them so far. If I am wrong, please **correct** me)
1) **Iwata HC-CS Eclipse** 0.35mm (also has an option for a 0.5mm) (around 200$ in my country (https://www.colorit.ro/aerograf-iwata-hp-cs-8133.html ):
I've read that is is a pretty good airbrush...lots of guys also recommend it. Will it work well for both details and base coating?
2) **Iwata Revolution HP CR** 0.5mm (around 150$) ( https://www.colorit.ro/aerograf-iwata-revolution-hp-cr-8138.html ) only availabe with the 0.5 needle at my local store at the moment
3) **Iwata Neo HP CN** 0.35mm (100$) ( https://www.colorit.ro/aerograf-iwata-neo-hp-cn-10667.html ) I know that this is a beginner model...but I am looking for sth that with help me in the future as well so I won't have to upgrade too soon
4) **H&S Evolution Two in One** 0.2 and 0.4mm (around the same price of the Iwata Eclipse) ( http://www.profiart.ro/catalog/product/aerograf-evolution-two-in-one ) (There's also the Evolution X Solo - or something like that - availabe)
5) **H&S Evolution Solo** 0.2mm (around 130$) (http://www.profiart.ro/catalog/product/aerograf-evolution-solo)
6) **Hansa Topline 381 Black** 0,3mm (around 150$) ( http://www.profiart.ro/catalog/product/aerograf-hansa-topline-381-black ) didn't find that many reviews and comparisons about this one. From what I've seen it's also made by H&S. The girl at the store actually said that this is better than the **Eclipse**. They didn't have the Eclipse in stock so I do not know if they were just trying to sell their product or this one is actually better than the Eclipse.
7) **Infinity CR Plus 0,2 mm** (230$) ( https://www.colorit.ro/aerograf-infinity-cr-plus-0-2-mm.html ) - a bit pricey for me at the moment as the Eclipse is already around my max budget...also it seems to have a smaller needle that might get clogged. I am not so sure about this one but if you guys think this is a must...then I will consider it. (I am already..just the price is throwing me back a bit).
I am inclined towards the Eclipse. I can afford it and lost of guys seem to recommend it. BUT what do I know...I am a newbie after all. Maybe let's say I can get the same results with the evolution solo or the revolution and by buying the Eclipse I am throwing money out the window)....That's why I need your help.
What I want to achieve are those kind of results :
Now don't get me wrong. I am not daydreaming. I know that I won't be able to do such things in even an year from now. But I want to get an airbrush that will let me do such things.
So which one from the ones I listed do you thing will be able to get me at least similar results in the future?
If you were kind enough to read all this...thank you...you are my hero.
So **TLDR** version of this would be: **Iwata HC-CS Eclipse 0.35mm**, **Iwata Revolution HP CR**, **Iwata Neo HP CN**, **H&S Evolution Two in One**, **Hansa Topline 381 Black**, **Infinity CR Plus 0,2 mm**
I am eager to hear as many opinions as possible. Hopefully you guys will be able to help me decide.
Best regards,
Michael
