Iwata, the highly respected airbrush manufacturer, has released a new tool into the Eclipse range, the Takumi.
Using the Japanese term for an artisan who has mastered their craft as a brand name is a good idea – with an airbrush like this in your toolbox, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to excel in this area of modelmaking.
The Eclipse range of airbrushes are known for their versatility, lending themselves to a broad range of painting tasks. Indeed, the design of the tools allows for a wider range of spray patterns than is possible with many other designs. More specialist airbrushes tend to produce a limited spray pattern, especially those intended primarily for close-up work. In contrast, Eclipse airbrushes can offer anything from fine lines to much broader ‘strokes’, as well as more diffuse, misted effects, by regulating the trigger and the distance between airbrush and subject.
