I'm thinking about moving to a double action airbrush after using my trusty Paasche Single Action H for the last 14 years. The HP-C Deluxe seems like a good one for me.
I plan to keep the Paasche H around for heavy duty, base coat jobs but using the Iwata for fine/detail work.
Any thoughts or comments? Thanks in advance.

I use an HP-C exclusively. I'm very happy with it, but I'm also still learning to master the thing. It's much more of a precision instrument than the Aztec I was using.

Tin Can, let me say that it's probably the last AB you'll ever get!!!! I have 2, a HP-BC bottom feed and a HP-C gravity feed. they are great and are worth every penny. they also perform to the reputation that has been given by us modelers. I have not had a problem duplicating the QA sheet (arun form the smallest pattern to the largest) provided in the box. these are the best out there and i'll show anyone what can be done with such a fine product. BTW if y=use a traditional double action AB ther should not be that much of a learning curve. My biggest problem was getting over the unique shape of my old aztec 4709 AB. i had toi get used to hold the Iwata traditional shape. That has been my only problem HTH STUG
