Eric,

Their nozzles are not the same. It is easy to swap out bottles of specific colors quickly with siphon-feed airbrush model. Some of them a significant amount.

It requires experience, perfect dilution, and meticulous cleaning. It makes this airbrush the ideal airbrush for T-shirt painting, model-railroad landscapes or R/C car bodies, airplane
models and other general art, hobby and craft projects.

  • The Revolution CR is a gravity feed airbrush.

    With an Eclipse you just screw the head off and can drop the nozzle out. Others, like the Micron or Eclipse, need a more stable and powerful compressor.

    Should beginners buy a high-end airbrush?

    No. So what does the price difference reflect? While the Eclipse 0.5mm nozzle is similar in design to the H&S nozzle, where the tip is of the same material as the rest of the nozzle body, the Eclipse 0.35mm nozzle has the typical, small Iwata nozzle fitted at the tip (screwed or pressed in, I can’t remember).

    The Revolution nozzle is about 5mm long;

    The Eclipse nozzle (the 0.5mm without the typical nozzle tip) is about 15mm long;

    Bought the Eclipse: cost wasn’t that bad because of the sale.

    Its 0.18 mm nozzle enables microscopic lines, perfect for NMM, faces, ultra-subtle shading, or top-tier illustration work. If you’re just starting out, the Neo CN is an excellent entry point. The Neo works from 1 bar, while the Eclipse or Micron prefer stable 1.5–2 bar.

    How do I clean my IWATA airbrush?

    Rinse between each color with a suitable cleaner.

    Well-suited for those who find traditional trigger buttons tiring or unintuitive. You can also see wich are the best airbrush compressor guide. Many Warhammer miniature painters use it as their main airbrush due to its performance, accessibility, and durability. The Revolution uses the old fashion tiny screw-on nozzle and spare is cheaper.

    The Revolution 0.35 mm BR has the smaller 1/16 cc cup.

    I have BR and CR Revolutions but not an Eclipse. Very  versatile airbrush with a .5 mm nozzle and needle combination. CR doe everything i need it to do hence why i sold the CS.

    As has been said the main difference is the nozzle design, the Revolution using the typical Iwata type of nozzle which is more or less a small screw in tip & the Eclipse using a drop in system similar to what you are accustomed to.

    The smaller screw in nozzle design does have it’s pros + cons - it’s generally made of harder material than a drop in nozzle, so can last longer, but it is tiny making it troublesome to handle & on occasion the nozzle tip can break away leaving the threaded section behind in the airbrush.

    Then you can see what parts they share and what is different. I clean my brushes a lot and one thing I really like about the HS is the ease with which you can get the nozzle free for a quick check. Perfect for background , basing but very good also for details.
