Iwata CS, gravity feed or siphon?

Don't quiet understand your question.

Are you talking about the Iwata Eclipse CS or the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS?
Either way a quick search on google shows both of them as being gravity feeds.

the HP-BCS is bottle fed... the HP-CS is gravity feed... and it depends on preference... the gravity feed can work at lower pressures so smaller lines etc...

i prefer gravity feed airbrushes. i have an eclipse HP-CS and would have no other, its my little baby.

Now that I have used a gravity feed AB I can't see meself using anything else. I really get a finer line and enjoy the ease of clean up of my HP-CS.

I have 3 airbrushes two Paasche and my baby an Iwata Eclipse CS. For the longest time i just looked at the Iawata and kind had it is a peice of engineering art. Then I used it, the two Paasches have been very lonely since. Not sure if its the gravity feed, the workmanship or the ease of clean-up but this airbrush makes me look so much better. Go for the CS in my oppinion. Oh by the way I love my Paasches, but the Iwata is one of those tools that comes along every now and again that is just perfect for the task.

well said 172builder!!

For modeling, generally most would agree that the gravity feed Eclipse HP-CS is the way to go. I have one myself and it's invaluable for my modeling. However if you have a very large model to paint, a bottom feed airbrush, such as the Iwata Eclipse HP-BCS is perfect. The latter can do all the things the CS can do on more versital. I use use several Iwata airbrushes that perform specific tasks, though my HP-CS gets alot of use and flat-out performs. Good luck in your choice.
