Hello All!

If I have an Iwata HP-C, what would be an upgrade for detail work, without going to the Custom Micros?
I have a Crescendo 175 and 150 Badgers for wide/mid coverage, and an HP-C for some delicate work... for very fine camo, would I really need to upgrade from the -C?

Thanks!
Jorge

Jorge;

You can get right down to about 1/48 to 1/64 of an inch (US inch = 25.4mm, so we are talking down to about 0.5mm in metric) with your Iwata HP-C, if you are using the .35 needle and seat and you drop your pressure and thin your paint. This is pretty extreme painting and is challenging for most of us (certes for me!). More reasonably, you can attain lines of maybe 1.0mm with an HP-C or HP-CS brush.

This is pretty small, as lines and dots go. But such fine stuff does take time and a very steady hand (and maybe little or no coffee anytime soon before painting!).

Still, in answer to your question: the HP-C should allow you, in my opinion, to do some pretty small stuff suitable for camo on 1/72 builds, etc. Of course you need good eyes...!

Cheers!

your -C should do you fine for super fine detail work. Its more of a matter of paint consistency and pressure.

Thanks, Guys!!!

You have convinced me otherwise... I think I'll spend the money the in a couple of kits then...

Now, to practice thin lines with the -C!

Thanks again,

Jorge
