She looks soooooooo fine!

She does have sexy lines-a sleek figure. And you will see her performance. She is one of the best. She is worth every penny Iwata sells her for. So smooth to the touch and so professional. She will have you begging for more sessions with her. You will not want any other after you try her.

i'm into poligimy as i have 2!!! hp-cs and hp-c!! they are mighty fine brushes and i never was satisfied til' i had one in my hand. now, i'm happily building models because i know i have the comfort and quality of iwata to look forward to for the finished product. now, pump out some kits so we can take a peek friend. happy modelling. later.

Badger!

Be careful Woodbeck3 these Iwata guys will gang up on you.

ShModeler,

Glad you like your new toy. Keep us informed as to how it does.

Mike

You'll love it. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about an Iwata. It will last forever and do everything you want from an airbrush.

Start blowing paint! We want to see pics!

Mike

we modelers are whether inventive or extra-ordinary imaginative.

O.K. It's been 24 houres since I got it, and you're not going to belive this, but I just cant think of blowing paint through it!

She looks so clean so crisp so virgin...

I even went into thinking "How should I honor her?", "Which color will be the first?" "Which model will be the first to be painted with?"
"Should I start somthing new or should I return to an old project?"

Such silly questions am I normal? Hmmm.... somthing tells me I'm not!

Thanks for the FUN responses guys!

RED! A hot, firey red. Orange-red-it is such a powerful statement. Red would be the first perfect color.

Don't let others convince you to buy another brand of airbrush-they will badger you a lot to try to change your mind but you know you have picked the brush you want and need. You know whatever they say that in reality, deep in your heart you, and many others, have made the right choice in buying the beautifully crafted, professionally operating Iwata.

Doesn't the air lever feel so smooth with no free play in the mechanism? It is so well balanced in the hand too.

I wouldn't do that ... just because Iwanta Badger doesn't mean that everyone does.

Ok, I am deeply concerned about you guys and your ab's.
And yet, I cannot turn away

Colour wise, red is a good choice.
While spraying you can scream at the top of your lungs, 'GO YOU BIG RED FIRE ENGINE!!!!!'.

Oooooooooooooohhhh, how about super hot flouro pink!!!!!
Or yellow, y'know, the type of colours that go ape under a black light.

Imagine an F 18 slapped under a black light boasting pink and yellow pin stripes, with white walls.

I'll stop now, feel a little silly.

See? In no time at all those people with other brands of airbrush will try to badger you to change your brand. They like to disrupt all Iwata threads. Go with what you believe in your Judgement. That Iwata is an exceptional airbrush.

nice subliminal messages

MikeV will badger you into buying something you dont like. I wata iwata

.......our relationship has been true since the day we met
she's chrome and rouge........she's sleek..........and always ready.......
her name is Paache'......an H as well.........and whoa the magic i've learned when she's ready.......she's taught me well ............and soothes all my coloured needs.........
the best airbrrush.......is the one in my hand
repeat after me............the best airbrush..........yada........yada.......yada............

I can see in the horizon the anti-Iwata gang is massing for a strike on this thread.

I often wondered why so many people hate Iwata airbrushes at FSM? Other web sites that mention Iwata tell of the airbrush being at least equal to other brands. I've never badgered other company's airbrushes like people that hate Iwata here. Only at the FSM web site do people slam Iwata so unjustly. The Iwata airbrush will spray equally to other brands of airbrushes.

It seems to me a lot of people really hate the company name or maybe the country of origin. Then that hatred is projected to the people who compliment an Iwata/Japanese product. A lot of people that bash Iwata airbrushes have barely touched one or not at all. Bashers snipe Iwata airbrushes without any justifiable reason as to why it is so bad so it leaves the readers of these threads a mystery. People also leave snide remarks about how much better their airbrushes or they are to downgrade anyone that owns or compliments an Iwata. Is it some kind of sad power-trip or adrenaline rush other airbrush owners have? Would a German made airbrush be bashed as the Iwata airbrushes are?

It seems when someone comments they like an Iwata that owners of other airbrushes like to hijack their thread to the other brands of airbrushes. Is that fair to the poster of the thread? No, it is not.

It sure seems like a lot of energy wasted in hatred about a doing a hobby we all enjoy. I like to help other people and have them help me rather than to insult them.

ShModeler, I'm proud that you independently chose the airbrush you loved without being swayed by any bias or prejudice. I would endorse any airbrush you found that worked for you.

You chose Iwata and there are a few people here that like to use that brand. Stand your ground and don't let others tell you to change your choice.

This is just my two cents.

Now go spray a French blue on anything. You’ll love that new airbrush of yours so well you’ll blow it a kiss.

I have Had mine for about a month and lovin every second with her

Thad

rooster, i think you are wrong. i've been posting here for a while now and was a badger fan that crossed over to iwata. nobody has slandered me or tried to badger me and make me feel bad about my decision. badger is the #1 selling airbrush out there because, from what i gather, their availability, customer service (though i've never had to use it), and price. i chose to try iwata because of the good things i heard about it from this forum and other places on the web. as far as hijacking other people's thread, heck i'm guilty of doing that myself but it is all out of fun and i try to insert the proper symbols to let people know that i'm teasing. you, on the other hand, have hijacked this thread for no apparent reason. nobody on this thread is being beligerent in my opinion but you. everybody is going along cool, but i think you started the hostilities yourself.

on the lighter side, you have very informative posts on here and they played a part in my decision process on buying an iwata. i love my iwata's and could care less what other modellers buy as long as they are happy with there decisions. and i agree, who can make a claim that this airbrush is better than that one if they haven't used one as long as the other and vise versa. i used an omni 5000 for 5 months atleast 6 hours or more a week, but when i picked up the iwata hp-cs, i was instantly hooked. i can't say that for the hp-c as i had trouble fitting the model paint throught the small .3mm nozzle. once i converted it to the .4mm n/n i was in love with 2 airbrushes. no one can convince me otherwise. in my opinion, the hp-cs is a better airbrush than the omni 5000. does that make it so? ofcourse not!! the next person will say the opposite. oh well, we'll never get to the bottom of this and i wonder why we post in these threads. we have found time and again that they lead to cirlces.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

to each his own

Slam Iwata? Who does that? I have never read any thread that said that Iwata was junk, have you?

I agree.

Once again I ask, who has done that?

Have you ever considered that fact that most of those type posts are just good natured ribbing?

I agree

Mike

BADGER!! ok I got it outta my system. Hats off to ya Rooster for standing your ground and giving your feeling...I dont agree with ya but gotta respect it.

Now to BADGER ya, you see I used an iwata years ago, what I used to model with back then, but they werent that good. I then bought a badger 200 and was equally frustrated with it. Now I have an aztek and cant wait to get my new BADGER in the mail. Plus I have already chosen which Iwata I am gonna get ofr my second brush, you see I am from that old mold that uses 2 brushes to do models in. with the way brushes are now I wont actually need to have my Iwata but no artist of this field should be without an BADGER or an iwata. God bless us paint throwers!! Now Paashe...that was the very first airbrush I ever owned and you notice I am going BADGER and Iwata....

Salydog...weather me another plane will ya , I need some more reference pics.

wow, mike, a topic without smilies!!!

[:0]

jeff, i'm planning my next victim soon my friend. it gonna be an F4F wildcat that hopefully has seen better days. hope it turns out. you're definetly gonna want to get that iwata on the way asap for weathering though!!

Hmm low pres and gravity fed...think the omni will be fine

WOW!

What's going on here?!?!
I did'nt want to start a debate but I guess it was inevitble

Look, I dont feel I want to take part in the Iwata Vs. Badger war. To my opinione the Eclipse is the best all arounder AB out there for me

I dont want to degrade any paasche, badger or any other brand fans.
I did tried it today and yesterday. It is a dream come true!
I could'nt even get any close to that kind of performance with my old Paasche VL.

Woodbeck3, I'm sure you like your omni and thats fine with me. I belive that Airbrushes are the tool that we can express our true artistic nature (please dont laugh I now it sounds too philosophic).
I dont like the smily you used () it's kinda telling me "Hey, ShModeler Mine is better then yours"
Maybe it was'nt your attempt and maybe it was'nt aimed at me, but it sure made me feel like that.
But when thinking about the nature of men, I guess it's hopeless to avoide such clashes. So woodbeck3, all forgiven!

I really like my new Iwata. I think it's the best thing ever happened to me in my modelling life. Yep! it's even better then "getting that most wanted kit" because Without the-best-for-me AB it would be crap!

Well Chris, Kingthad and all the other Iwata lovers, I guess I'm on your side now.
Hmmm.... feels like the Army again.
You dont want to be there but you have to cause this is life.

Cliff, for my part in pulling your thread off topic I apologize.

Chris (saltydog), MikeV and I are always barbing each other about Iwata vs. Badger and it is all in jest. Iwatas are great airbrushes and so are Badgers. Just like many other things, the difference is simply in which one you prefer.

Shahar,

I agree with Scott. We love to play around like the Ford and Chevy guys do.
All that matters is that you like your airbrush and that is the ONLY thing that is important.
Keep us informed on how you like it.

Shalom

Mike

Ahhh... allow me to correct somthing...

My name is not Cliff. My name shahar. (yea difficult to pronounce...) the middle H is like in the word Hanucka. So Sh stands for the first letter (in hebrew) and Modeler, well that obviose. some people say I should write my name Shachar, but the 'ch' will probably be pronounced like the word Czeck republick.... so I prefer it that way.

Cliff burton was the bass player of Metallica (Yes, I am a Flyboy-treadhead-metalhead). He died in 1986 in a horrible bus accident)
I only quoted one of the songs that he wrote, I put it in my "favourite quote" cause these lonesome words really speaks to me.

Thanks!

QUOTE: My name is not Cliff. My name shahar.

Shahar, I apologize again. It's been that kind of week so far. I saw Cliff and your English is so good I just jumped to a conclusion. Sorry about that.
