Been looking at new Airbrushes on the multitude of sites around the net. One in particular caught my eye (well, lots actually but waaaaayyyy outa my price range presently).
The one in question is the Iwata HP-C 50th Anniversary Limited Edition model, going for 185 GBP. Is it worth it compared to the PH-C Plus for 170-220 GBP (depending where you shop)?
Also noted the Iwata Eclipse CS for either 133 or 175 GBP. And lastly, a real cheapy to compare (kinda) with, a BartSharp 186 (has a MAC valve), for 37 GBP. These are upgraded (build/tolerances etc) versions of the VEDA brushes but as they did not register the name, someone else did thus the original owners have gone out of business.
Will any of these be as good or better as my H&S Evolution CR Plus 2in1 (0.2/0.4mm needles/nozzle set).
And lastly, I don't use a face mask/respirator apart from a 3 quid cheapy when spraying a varnish coat, is it really necessary for non-toxic acrylics? If so, would a Force8 half mask with twin F8-112 filters be a good choice for 30 GBP (replacement filters are 15 quid).
Any helpful points much appreciated.
