I was wondering what's a good Iwata dual action airbrush to paint a muskie that will cover doing base colors and fine detail. Is it best to get a gravity fed or bottom fed? A few days ago I used a borrowed badger and couldn't get the detail or keep it running . Thank you

I have used an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS for many years,it can pull both fine detail and background spraying with great atomization.In my opinion the best allround airbrush on the market and it won´t break the bank either.

I've got an Iwata gravity feed and love it. One needle, fine and wide applications with ease. Don't know the number of the one that has an extra valve at the bottom, but that might be the way to go for extra-fine work.

Thanks guys for the input on both brushes. From what I read about them, they will definitely get the project done and the price is just right on the two. Knowing me I'll probably buy both of them...LOL.

Thanks Mike for the kudos...Everything with this project is a first for me. If i get past the paint part, I'm gonna make one more of a MN fish I caught 2 years ago.
