Well... I guess thats my fault then, eh?! Heres a suggestion:

In February, our own expo takes place in the Ore Montains and we have a tombola there. As far as I know, theres an airbrush to win. Just come all over there, and even if youre not winning anything we all have a great time! ;)

Out of curiosity, why do you use the Neo more than the Eclipse HP-C+ ?
Well the main reason right now is that the HP-C+ isn't working correctly. It needs to be SUPER cleaned cause I have a blockage somewhere.

But the Neo seems to work just as well. Very easy to use and clean.

Looks like those Iwata airbrushes are a popular choice.

Ok, let's talk Iwata.
Unless you're a beginner, I'd recommend the Iwata double-action High Performance Plus series.
THE great plus of the HP+ series is the ability to adjust and pre-set the quantity of colour via a knob at the rear end of the gun - similar to the H&S Evolution Silverline series.

I've been using an HP-C Plus (0.3mm nozzle) for almost ten years, and from my personal experience I'd rate it as one of the best all-round airbrushes in town. I even sprayed extremely fiine mottlings in 72nd scale without any problems. Price: around 150 Euros.
