I have no idea which one would be a good choice. Does anyone have any info on a site explaining the different features? I usually use a badger 150 for my painting but I am having a diffcult time spraying camo jobs freehand for my armor and WWII aircraft. If anyone can advise me the best way to go with the Iawata I would be grateful. ThanksModeling in General

Hello everyone, I saw some of the post in the last few days where people were very pleased with the Iawata airbrushes. I have been thinking about getting one for a while and your comments have sold me on them. I logged onto Great Models Webstore and soon located about 50 different types of Iawata airbrush

Iwata HP-CH "the Cadillac of airbrushes"
Dixie Art and Airbrush Supplies has pretty good prices.
I don't think you can go wrong with any model Iwata....just depends on what you want to do with it.

I have an Iwata HP-C. I paid $90.95 which was the lowest price I could find. The website is http://www.buynails.com. They also have good prices on hose, fjuid tips and needles.

Can somebody school me on these Iwata brushes to. I was looking at the HP-C for a long time, but it comes with the 0.3mm nozzle, then you would haft to buy the 0.2mm, and the 0.4 to have all of the nozzles that go with it.
Now somebody mentions the HP-CH is the Cadillac of all the ones with in reason, but it doesn't mention nothing about any other nozzles.
Does it use any other nozzles like the HP-C regular, or how does this work, and what all else do you haft to buy when you buy the brush.
Then I always seen Dixie art as being the cheapest place around, but when Don came up with that HP-C for $ 90.95, so I went to Dixie art to find their HP-C at 139.00 for the very same brush, with only one nozzle to, so I think they are slipping a little.
Oh Don, on that site www.buynails.com I have a real hard time navigating around it, but do they sell the .02, and .04 nozzles for the HP-C real cheap to to finish out all the spray patterns, I figure that one comes with only the .03 just like Dixie art's does, then you got to buy the other 2, and crown cap, and this and that, and by the time your done, it is the cost of the Tamiya one that cost a couple hundred bucks, but with it, all the pieces are all there to begin with, and all 3 nozzles to what I've heard.
This is what I done was compare a long time ago, of course I believe they are both Iwata brushes, but at Dixie you had to buy every part separate, which was still cheaper then anywhere else at the time, but if you didn't know with out guidance, I guess you could have problems, of course they are good to help you there, I just haven't got around to getting it yet.
