Iwata-Medea Eclipse HP CS Airbrush Set with Cool Runner II Dual Fan Air Tank Compressor System Kit, 12 Color Acrylic Airbrush Paint Artist Set, Hose, Holder, Cleaning Pot, Mixing Cups, How-to Guide

The package came ahead of schedule, but it came with the incorrect hose. Fortunately I contacted the seller and was able to have the correct hose sent out. The correct hose arrived before the original estimated delivery date and I was able to get everything set up and try it out.The airbrush itself is fantastic! It has wonderful amount of control and I was able to pick it up and learn how to use with relative ease.The compressor is great too! I did have to lower the airflow a little bit, but there is a nice big easy to use knob for that.The paint I am not really using, since all of my paints are from a different brand, but I am using them to try out various techniques and enhance my skill set. They seem to work quite well and I have no complaints with them.The airbrush cleaning pot makes the brush holder a bit superfluous, but depending on your set up, it might be nice to a holder that can clip on to a stable surface. Since the airbrush is gravity fed, it is very important to keep the brush upright so that the paint doesn't spill out of the hopper.

Overall this is a nice deal everything was clean and worked well , I had a small issue with a part on the compressor and I emailed the company , honestly the fastest reply I’ve ever gotten from a company , a few back and forth later issue was taken care of and I’m really happy with it .

Bought this kit as a beginner looking for a good kit to start out with. Excellent value for what you get, everything that you need to start painting right out of the box. The Iwata HP-CS allows you very nice control with your airbrush, and leaves you with no problems. Compressor is alot quieter than I had expected and very easy to control. The video that comes with this kit is very helpful as well, I would recommend you to watch the video first if you are just beginning to show you all the basics, from the different types of paint, spray patterns, and different surfaces that you can paint on etc. Have no complaints, Amazon was fast with shipping and was the best price I could find. Would definitely recommend this kit to anyone looking to air brush just about anything. Awesome!!

I was surprised by the quality of the equipment. Works great and highly recommend.

I had never used an airbrush before buying this kit. I purchased it with the hope of using it on Warhammer 40k figures for base coating and large scale model painting. After practicing for a few hours I tried it on a handful of figures to great success. The layer of paint is very thin and doesn't obscure any of the detail. I am sure that I will be able to do more than just basecoating once I get better control through practice.Pros:- There are a dozen colors in the kit which are great for practicing with. They last a very long time.- The compressor and air hose will give you about 8 to 10 feet of reach total from plug to the end of the hose for the airbrush.- The airbrush itself is very clean and simple to use, and comes with a small bottle of oil and a wrench for use in cleaning itCons:- You are given a quick connect for attaching the airbrush, but mine leaked due to a small o-ring that gets pinched when attaching it.- The paint cleaning pot(yellow topped bottle in the picture) doesn't do much other than give you a place to blow the cleaning solution and paint into. It gets dirty very quickly and would need cleaning multiple times during a prolonged painting session. A milk jug would work equally well, though it's still a nice addition.- The compressor's instructions are very limited, and I could not find any way to increase the pressure. Because of this it would shut off at around 20 PSI and then cut back on after only a few blasts from the brush. The compressor itself is quiet, but I fear that repeatedly turning on and off is bad for it.Overall I really like this kit. There are a ton of extras that are great to help beginners like me become more familiar with air brushing. My suggestion is to use this kit to set up a nice workstation. The brush stand included in the set can hold 4 brushes easily, and has a mounting point for an air regulator. I used it to loop the air hose through to keep it from getting in the way. There are also a ton of small plastic cups for mixing colors, and popsicle sticks to help mix them up.The only thing I found a bit troubling was how fast I went through the cleaning solution. I did change colors often, and you can apparently use windex and water mixed together. Still, it would be nice if the kit included a larger bottle. Also, cleaning out the very inside of the brush required using q-tips due to how small the area is. Beyond that, cleanup is easy.

I really don't have any experience with other airbrushes or kits so keep that in mind with this review. I purchased this kit to paint miniature terrain, dioramas, 1/25 and 1/28 scale models and buildings etc. So far it has been great. I watched some youtube videos of some things I though I might like to paint and could use to learn with. Purchased a couple and some paint and walked through the techniques/steps shared in the youtube videos. Admittedly it isn't quite as easy as they make it look but I'm learning quickly and get better every time I use it. The IWATA Eclipse has worked great and been easy for me to use and clean. Some videos I have watched have the painter using this same brush. A couple have commented that for this kind of painting getting a more expensive one is a waste of money as this is a solid beginner/intermediate brush and the smaller needle etc. are just not needed for these painting projects.
