After a 20 year hiatus, I recently got back to modelling (so much fun!).

After long research, I've decided to buy an Eclipse but I'm not sure whether to buy the CS (1/3 oz cup) or the BS (1/16 oz cup). I'm interested in only 1/35 WWII German and Russian AFVs, so I would need a small amount of paint per airbrushing session.

I've never used an airbrush before and guess the small cup of the BS will less block my view, especially for delicate painting jobs.

What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend the HP-CS between the two. It's an excellent ab for modeling. A heads-up, if you live near a Hobby Lobby, many weeks they have a 40% off any item printable coupon on their website. Might be the cheapest way to get one.

I did not know HL sells Iwata. hL is only 10 minute driving distance away from my home.
