Re: HELP! New Airbrush
I have a VL and an Iwata HP-B+. Very different airbrushes. My opinion: gravity feed is superior in every way. Whatever brand, you need some variety in tip sizes. The VL is OK for all-over color basecoating with the fine tip. I never used its larger tips. The Iwata HP-B has a .2mm tip that's nice for detail work and fine shading. If you want one brush that's a jack of all trades, look for one with a .3 or .35mm tip like the Iwata Eclipse or equivalent.

Re: HELP! New Airbrush
I have the Eclips Hp CS .35 and the revolution CR .5
I like the CR
I do not even use the CS anymore
I like that the needle is more protected on the cs but it does not clean out as fast as the cr and the cr sprays a smaller pattern spray
I have some bager garage sales coming someday to try.

Re: HELP! New Airbrush
Ok.. Im sorry.. Im having a rough day!!! Have to have a little fun. I use a Iwata HP-BSC or BCS.. I dont know all the models by heart.. its has a .50mm tip.. I like the bottle feeds.. I have never used gravity and everyone says I should but I like to switch out the paint fast! Seems like it would take a long time to clean out the gun.. I might be wrong. Im wrong alot!! but I have got use to using the bottles rather than gravity.. it does suck though because those bottle fall out alot!! TICKS ME OFF when that happens!
Good Luck
