                        Another Question on Iwata HP-CS
                        Posted by WutDaFunk on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 3:52 AM

                        I noticed the words on the body of the airbrush that says IWATA ECLIPSE HP-CS JAPAN, but different brushes that I've seen while watching/reading reviews have two letters after the JAPAN, like MB, HL, or LE. Does anybody know why the letters are different and what they mean?

                        I got mine from Hobby Lobby 4 years ago. It has IWATA ECLIPSE HP-CS JAPAN HD on it. I have no idea what all these 2 letters mean, but will be very interested in finding out.

                        Looking through some stock, it looks like it's a date based production batch numbering system, most likely starting at AA and running through to ZZ, although it possible it's more complicated than that............

                        That's interesting... maybe the first letter changes yearly?
