Woo Hoo!!

I can't wait to get a full report.

I say fixin to all the time myself, and get ribbed for it some. When other people say it, I always say, "Well, fix me a couple too while you're in there."

Nobody else thinks it's as funny as I do.

I've been waiting on the edge of my chair to hear your results, saltydog, and you haven't disappointed me. It is good to hear people appreciate the feel of a nice airbrush like the Iwata. We'll all appreciate them for years because of the quality build.

the eclipse is definatly a piece of quality!! when i first got the hp-c, i was a little disappointed about the smoothness of the trigger as id heard how smooth iwata's triggers and machining were. my omni's trigger was smoother than the hp-c's, but when the hp-cs came, its wieght and feel in my hand along with the exceptionally smooth trigger was impressive to say the least. the 2 ab's are excellent. i can achieve the same line with the omni, but its easier for me to get it with the iwata. plus, i like the feel of the iwatas in my hand. you just cant beat comfort my friends. i have thick, carpenters hands and the iwata is slightly larger than the omni. some people obviously wont like that, but i do. quality drips from iwata like honey from a hive guys. thats my 2cents. later.Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]

Chris,

Glad you like that new toy brother.
It sounds like you have given it a fair review.

Mike

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
