Iwata - Eclipse Takumi Side Feed Airbrush

Eclipse Takumi Side Feed Airbrush

Achieve extreme detail work with gravity-assisted flow and balanced grip

Iwata redesigned the Eclipse from the ground up for balance and responsiveness. The compact body sits naturally in your hand, while the gravity-assisted side feed cup delivers paint with immediate, precise control, critical when you're working at fine to extreme detail scales. Professional painters and advanced hobbyists working on custom models, miniatures, or illustration will appreciate how quickly this airbrush responds to subtle trigger adjustments.

The two-piece 0.24 oz cup disassembles completely for thorough cleaning between colors or media. Iwata's compression-fit drop-in nozzle simplifies maintenance and replacement, eliminating threading frustrations during teardown. The siphon-cut lid improves paint flow consistency, particularly useful when working with slightly heavier-bodied paints or during extended sessions where cup angle varies.

Takumi's 0.35 mm needle strikes the sweet spot between fine detail capability and practical paint handling. The ambidextrous design accommodates both right and left-handed users without compromising ergonomics or control. Whether you're laying down subtle gradations on scale models or rendering intricate illustration work, this airbrush delivers the precision and reliability that advanced techniques demand.
