IWATA COMPRESSOR

Hi

Im a returnee modeler (been out of touch for about 15 years) and after much research in purchasing an airbrush I got some great advise from a company in UK.

I have had the Iwata Sprint Jet for about a month and a half (along with the Iwata Eclipse SBS) and I have only two observations to make.

1. Compressor gets warm (so watch your plastic hoses)

2. Compressor was a good price at about £150.

I am a novice when it comes to Airbrushing but i would recommend it and the airbrush to novices.

Thank you Andy,

One more question...does this compressor has a air tank included?
Do you need one?

It doesn't seem to have an air tank and so far I haven't needed one. It does however have an Air pressure gauge, Moisture filter and Pressure regulator included. So far I have used it on about 3 models:-

1/72 F-14 Tomcat (Tamiya Acrylics)
1/32 MGB (Humbrol Enamels)
1/32 F-14 Tomcat (Tamiya Acrylics)

Very easy to use just switch on, 5 seconds later pressure built up to Static pressure of about 50 PSI and away you go.

Im reading the side of the box it came in and it says " it is the ideal compressor for the new or casual user".

One more item about this is it is very quiet.

WARNING all compressors will get hot! Be careful.
