Trying to Find a US supplier for this Iwata Part
Posted by BlakeyB on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 7:40 AM

Hi guys, long time visitor but havent posted since the forum change.  What I am looking for is a Pre-Set handle for my Iwata Eclipse-CS Airbrush.  Also a Crown Nozzle.  Unfortunately I found one US supplier that no longer carries it

http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/itemdetail.aspx?itemno=IWA+4105

I also found a UK supplier that does carry it

https://airbrushes.com/product_info.php?products_id=51

 

I was hoping to find a U.S supplier that still has it rather then paying UK exchange and prices.  Does anyone know of a place

You have an alternative at BearAir.com.  It is a Bearair part made for Iwata. For $18, it is a deal. I have not used it myself. But Bearair has good reputation in their house brand PEAK airbrush which is sourced from Japan.

If you get it, let us know how well it works with the Iwata.

lol, woops keilau I was so happy to have the guys provide with a store I went and bought it.  But bearair is a bit cheaper.  I will share my results with you guys.  I am hoping it lets me spray more consistant passes.  Some injuries from the military days have left my hands a bit shaky as time has gone on.  I am hoping this will help compensate for that.

Ok I got my part, fast shipping and service but with the holidays I just now got back to the bench.  All I have to say is wow what a difference.  Something is so simple. especially if you work in braile scale or paint miniatures.  (I stopped gaming many years ago but still love painting miniatures)

I can now pre adjust the limit and that prevents me from spraing uneven lines. When I spray hairlines or shading on 1/72 figures I go with an extremely low pressure (3-8 psi) and then build the line up to the thinkness and color depth I want.  One slip of the hand would normally spell disaster.  This prevents that.  I spray with acrylics so sometimes my mix with alchol may not be perfectly blended.  So sometimes I do have to adjust the screw mid spray to allow for any change in paint thickness.  Works great.

I even picked up a crown needle guard hoping it would protect my needle, but I still remove the guard fully.  This way I can get in reallly close.  Just thought I would give you guys my review

Good deal. And as you probably found out you can get most any Iwata part you need from Coast. I don't use the preset that often but when you need it, it's nice to have. As you say, one little slip is all it takes.
