Review on πŸ–ŒοΈ Iwata-Medea High Performance Plus C Dual Action Airbrush with Large Gravity Feed Cup by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Like everyone else, I started airbrushing with two inexpensive

First off, let me say that I'm not a professional artist, just an amateur hobbyist who enjoys building model cars and some military kits. Like everyone else, I started airbrushing with 2 inexpensive brushes, a Master Single Action Airbrush and a Double Action Master Airbrush. So I wanted to up my game by adding some detail like working with patterns and some misting with my spooky badger colors but my dual action brush kept clogging and spattering. I tried all the tricks in the book: change 3 needle sizes 0.2mm, 0.3mm and 0.5mm, adjust air pressure, needle juice and flow improver. Nothing worked. Time to invest in a quality airbrush. After extensive research, I decided on the Iwata-Medea HP. The first thing I did before painting was to completely disassemble the unit and get acquainted with all the parts. There was grease in my brush, so I smudged the trigger a bit. The first test will be the color that gave me the most trouble. ghost shadow. Apply about 5 drops of paint, set the air pressure to 15psi and start spraying. WOW! As soon as I pulled the trigger I was in airbrush heaven. Don't spit, don't get excited. Draw thin lines and thick strokes effortlessly. After comparing the Iwata airbrush to the Master spray gun, it's clear why this company tops the list. The craftsmanship that goes into this brush is a work of art in itself. You can tell this by looking down into the paint tray and seeing how beautiful and polished it is, with a gradual taper leading straight to the paint tunnel. As soon as you assemble the brush, you can feel that all the parts fit together smoothly and without play. This device gets 5 stars all day long. CONCLUSION. If you're looking for an update and want to improve your game, look no further. This brush is for you.
