Hi all ,now then i was going to put this in the junk drawer as essentilly its about e-bay, but i feared maybe not enough people would see it ? I promised the seller i would spread word of his amazing deals if all went well, its about a seller on e-bay who is amzingly helpful ,i.d.; roger.wong
he's in hong kong, and i just bought an Iwata HP_C plus 3 spare needles & 2 crown caps .plus 2 day express airmail from HK all For £89.00 ! it arrived this morning and now i'm airbrushing away its an excellent airbrush ,and now even my new Aztek is broken (metal bodied one ) ,so i guess i'm a Iwata convert .....

Watch out...... using an Iwata can become habit forming..... :-) :-) :-) :-)
Good to see you sprung and got the crown caps also.

Now you can sign your checks using your airbrush....... :-) :-) :-)

Howdy steeldog,

Congrats on the new AB acquisition! I also have an Iwata (actually it is presently at Meininger's undergoing 're-haul') and am definitely an Iwata convert.
Grumpy isn't kidding when he says you can "sign your checks" using the Iwata. I presently have four (now five) air brushes and I can easily say the Iwata is by far the best.

Tread.

BTW.....what is a "crown cap"?

Thanks Tread thats good to know ! i cant wait to get really serious with it ,the diagram sheet that came with it shows the actual spray pattern and its like a needle point to 1 inch ,i was impressed ,bye bye Aztek!
:-) a crown cap is the split end, wavey type replacement for the nozzel ,to reduce clogging and enabling you to get even finer spray patterns
