                        Iwata Eclipse Double Action, Gravity Feed, 1/3 oz. fixed cup,
                        0.35 mm tip & needle: $116.95 Free Delivery!!!
                        94 ECL4500 Eclipse CS: $116.95

                        Is this a pretty good deal?  I have been looking around this appears to be what a lot of modelers are using and the specs sound good (from what I know)  Would this brush work for most of my needs?

                        I Plan to use it Base coating, Panel Lineing, Max Shadeing, Gloss coating (Future floor wax).  I manily working on Star War/star trek models and a few Gundams in the mix. Does this seem like a good match up?

                        Thanks,
                        Jon

                        That brush should work good for your needs. YOu can always get the smaller nozzle and needle, too, if you needed anything finer. Price seems about right though you could get it cheaper I bet, if you shopped around some.

                        Thanks for the info. 

                         Where would be a place you (or anyone) could recomend?  Dixieart and tcpglobal are the only places I have seen recommend around.  If this is better I would like to know.

                         THanks,

                        I have one and love it. DixieArt is a reliable dealer.

                         Jon, I got the same airbrush last Christmas. It's a great "AB", it comes witha fine .035 needle and you can also get the larger .05 needle and that will be better suited for basecoats. Great choice!

                        All gave some and some gave all.

                        The DexieArt is a good deal due to their free shipping. I have no reservation recommending either DixieArt or TCP. For the lowest price, you want to go to a local Hobby Lobby Store with their online 40% off coupon. They have one for this week.
