My Iwata will not take a smaller needle, .2mm for detailed work such as modulation. Do not want to spend a lot, now i know that Sparmax are owned by or other way round, iwata i have found a .2mm airbrush in the £60 bracket, so good prices

Has anybody got an experiance of these, the reviews are positive

Thanks bob

Hi Bob.
Sparmax brushes are absolutely brilliant.
I have been using them since they were called Prem-Air.They are my number one choice and it is easy to get spare parts.

I would agree with that. Mind you, according to specs an Iwatta with a 0.35 needle should do all you want....what model is yours?

Interesting. I have an eclipse SBS with a 0.35 Needle and it will go as fine as I want? Have you tried dropping the air pressure and getting in closer? Yours should do a 1mm line with ease, which should be good enough for mottle on everything except 1/144 scale?
