      The Revolution CR is a really good airbrush, it comes with a .5mm needle and if you want to use it for finer work you can get the .3mm needle kit, when I got my needle kit I never out the .5 back in, the .3 covered all my needs.

      If the compressor gets very hot very quickly, I'd ask for a replacement from the company you purchased it.

      But it is the nature of such thing's to be warm in use. Compressing air raises it's temperature. I keep a fan on mine or on very long sessions, I use cold packs to reduce the heat build up.

      For a compressor with it's own refrigeration capacity you're taking serious money. Ian M has one like this so he might get you the model number of his one.

      Cheers

      Well buying a new airbrush won't stop the heat build-up in your compressor. I'd solve that first IMHO. Otherwise you won't get the best out of your Iwata.
