Both the Revolution line and the Eclipse range are well thought of. I haven’t experienced the Revolution, but can strongly recommend the Eclipse. I bought a CS as my first proper airbrush and it’s been fantastic. I still use it often and it’s was hardy enough to deal with my noob mistakes when cleaning without damage. They’re a breeze to clean with the compression fit nozzle setup too.
You’re not wrong about the paint flow as such. Wicked can be thinned and shot through pretty much any airbrush including the tiny .18 Microns and the like. But the Eclipse is a lot less fussy, it’s easier to get a nice flow of paint because the nozzle is a larger and the way the brush atomises the paint. It is more forgiving which is one of the reasons it was such a great choice for me as a beginner. I like the idea of doing a slow restoration on the HP-C, good plan my man.
You’re welcome Sir, but there’s no need to thank me. Passing on help and information is why we’re all here. Just be sure to post pictures of any restoration you do or a new brush. We all dig the shiny stuff! LOL.
not sure you are still at work, but here goes - the slot is @1.63mm wide x 5.0mm deep. There is a 2mm deep x 1.4mm dia hole centered in the bottom of the slot. The face of the tool (top of slot) has a 3.1mm x 0.9mm deep recess to accept the full diameter flange at the base of the nozzle.
