A beauty! Great work daneel 😉

Thank you Paul!

Interesting, interesting 😍

Iwata too makes an "aftermarket" MAC valve for all the Iwata airbrush! Look here (I apologize, this site is in italian, but again consideronly the pictures): http://www.airbrush-iwata.it/dettaglio.asp?Area=1&cat=40&prod=458 However I'm asking myself if an "aftermarket" MAC valve in such a different position with respect to the stock one behaves in the exactly the same way or in a diferent way than the stock one.

Thanks for the detailed explanation bmwh548, I'll take the H&S models in consideration for sure! The original is not so complex... 😁 Look here: http://www.airbrush-iwata.it/objects/altre/HI_LINE_RICAMBI.pdf The words are in italian, but consider only the picture, it speaks by itself.

Thanks for your answer! May I ask you why you don't reccomend the MAC valve? It's because the possibility of fine tuning of the air pressure that the MAC valve gives you is not so important, or do you think that the MAC valve itself is an obstacle to the movement of the aerograph around the model?

Grazie (translation: Thanks) Dennis!! 😉

Thank you Scimitar! Don't worry, I appreciate the Hurricane too 😊 Expecially the early version with the wooden, fixed-pitch, two-bladed propeller and the black and white underside.

A great job! I suppose you painted the camo free hand (the green at least). What airbrush did you use? Thanks for your answer!

Hi guys, I’d like to ask you an advice. I’m looking for an aerograph capable of fine work but at the same time able to spray without problems (cloggings) the paints we normally use. I work in 1/72 (expecially in this period… I’m in love with the old good Hasegawa jet kits!!!) - 1/48 scale. I use acrylics (Gunze and Tamiya), enamels (Humbrol and Model Master, but I’d like to try the Mr. Color one day) and lacquers (Alclad). My compressor is a simple AS-186. I’m seriously considering the Iwata Hi Line HP-CH with it’s 0,3 mm needle - nozzle - nozzle cup combination. Actually I wouldn’t go below that diameter. What do you think about this choice? Thanks a lot! All the best, Carlo

Goodmorning guys, my name is Carlo and I live in Italy. Being an aviation-lover since the age of 5, scale modeling could only be one of the consequences. I like all kind of airplanes, from 1903 to today, from civilian to military, from those that fly only straight and level to those that are built for aerobatics; but my first love is and will always be the Spitfire. I still own the VHS about the Spitfire built by Nick and Caroline Grace, the famous ML407 OU-V. I watched that documentary thousands of time, and I still watch it now. Have a nice day!!!!!!! Carlo
