My idea as well John. .35 general work..2 for small detail where you get in difficult areas the spray width is smaller. also for effects work. I have found the HPBH works very well. I have tried the Micron but discarded as I found the HPBH much better, for me. First of all I had great problems with Vallejo Air and Lifecolor thro. the .2. But since I have started using Vallejo Flow Improver it works as if by magic. Hardly have an blockages and these are quickly cured with a quick full squirt. Also been air brushing at 8PSI. This is superb as it gives time to build up the depth of paint colour. I do not bother much with washes. Flow improver Val. Model Air 50% thinners and there is a great wash.

Interesting. Should I stop accumulating airbrushes now? I was thinking of the Iwata Custom Micron to finish of my collection. Will have to get a variety of opinions now.

Thanks men and Moni for your very nice remarks.


If you need a bit or relaxation from aircraft or armour this is a really nice alternative. Not easy but not difficult and gives an interesting very different dinky type model on the shelf.


Great one for kids although perhaps boys like the speed things quad bikes are not unless you are riding them.
