Tamiya Work Airbrush
Best for precision detailing and camouflage work.
This airbrush is ideal for delicate and precise color rendering. I use it for low-pressure applications, especially when working on camouflage patterns and pinpoint detailing on scale models and RC bodies. It gives me better control when I need fine lines and subtle shading.
Iwata Eclipse HP-CS
Best for smooth base coats and larger surface coverage.
This is my go-to airbrush for even and consistent coverage. It handles heavier paint loads smoothly and covers larger areas without interruption. I use this more when working on larger RC bodies or when I need steady, continuous application for base coats and broad surfaces.
