- This video is a full and comprehensive review of the Iwata Custom Micron CM-B airbrush. I have to say that out of any airbrush I've tested, this one is still holds the crown. Within this video I go over all the information I'd want to know before purchasing any airbrush including the air speed, spray pattern, controllability, and responsiveness. I've also included a short painting demo of a skull to talk about my opinions. Hope this one is helpful to some of you and thanks for watching.

This video completes the 4 major detail airbrushes- the infinity , the sotar , the ps-771 and now the micron .
Which airbrush would you like to see reviewed next?
Tamiya HG Superfine 0.2 , it is a wonderful airbrush and very accurate
Question, you (like me) consider the CM series to be the best detail brush out there. Which one is #2 for you? If Iwata were to disappear tomorrow and take all of their airbrushes with them which one would you use in place of the CMB? I still have the original CMB and I feel like parts for it are getting harder to find and I'm contemplating having to replace it in the semi-near future and if I could avoid spending $500 on a new airbrush that would be great (I got mine in trade years ago).
Easy- the Creos PS771. It's essentially the same airbrush as the mircon except for the price. Sprays just like it.@@JayAdan
@@theartworkshop After digging through your reviews this morning I assumed that's what you would say. I'm curious if my CMB parts would fit on one since I have the older model.
This is the video that got me off the fence and now I have a “Takumi” CM-SB. Now if only I can figure out how to thin my paints for miniature painting…
Man I have gave the cmc version 2 a go and man the trigger response its fast...and feels well I love it. Great brush! Thanks for another great video...
The cm-c is amazing too. I love that airbrush!
@@theartworkshop Agreed! I had it cased up. Cause thought it was to much for me while! I use the ps771. Finally got it out of the case. Yes it's awwwwweeeemazong. Love it.
This airbrush is very popular in Engineering and research as well. That's i heard and read about it. Thank you for the video.
I custom shoes. Been doing it for 4 years. Started with eclipse and even went up to Iwata HP. Back in 2018 I discovered all the CM versions. But they were wayyyyy out of my price range
Fast forward to 2022 I finally get the takumi for $695 and let me tell you.
I want another!! It’s fire. Of course there’s the gratification of finally being able to afford it. But I’m terms of airbrushing it’s better.
It’s hard to explain. But it just feels better, sprays better,adds more confidence, has a nice weight to it, it’s like driving your rich uncle’s brand new car to the store and your only used to driving an old Honda with radiator issue.
Long story short it feel powerful. I recommended saving for it even if it takes years like me. Just be sure NOT TO BREAK ANYTHING ON IT. PARTS ARE NOT POCKET FRIENDLY
Very well said!! I agree with you 100%. There is just nothing else like it out there. I'm the same as you, it's basically all I use.
i heard you can use parts from Creos? Is that true? Also about to get the Takumi Micron :)
Awesome review Mark! How would you compare the cmb to the ps771? Thanks for sharing!
Have you tried the Takumi yet? Pretty awesome setup.
Yes, I made a video on the takumi a few months ago.
will you please do a review of a cheap chinese 180 airbrush.
Can't wait to grab one of these. Really enjoy your videos on this. Which do you prefer, this style or the Takumi? Gravity or side-feed?
Both! I mainly use the side feed takumi these days, but I like both of them equally.
For someone painting miniatures with loads of transitions and blends with acrylics. How much better would you say a CM preforms than an Eclipse?
The micron is so much better for what you are describing. For small intricate detail work it's like night and day between the micron and the eclipse. Go with the micron!
may you review the micro custom with mac valve please? i have a eclipse hp-cs and tempt to buy the micron, thanks
Hey man. Did you attend Dru classes last October. I think I may have taken a class with you
Nope. I never took a class with Dru Blair in my life. I'm a big fan of his work for sure though.
I recently ordered a Takumi Eclipse as I’m new to airbrushing and it felt great to use. I’m worried by the needle size as it’s 0.3 will I be able to create fine portrait details like a 0.18? Thanks for your insight!
yeah, absolutely. I can do everything with an eclipse (.35) that I can with a micron (.18). it's just a bit easier to use a micron for detail work.
@@theartworkshop Thanks so much man. I really love your work and what you do!
iwata cmc better than ps 771 ?
what should I buy ?
Very similar to me
@@theartworkshop you mean? cmc better?
Name of the stencil?
Please Review blair low Rider
I also would be very interested in discovering the advantages of a $50 spring that costs. $0.000005 to manufacture.
Andre the spring is worth buying. I used it for 8hrs on my ps771 and man it makes a difference bud. I can't say the same about the trigger since I have not use that one.
@@handsofrhythm3415 🤣haha right? I don't get it either.
It doesn't really interest me or the spring for that matter, but I guess I'll have to pick one up for a review someday.
I love the soft spring. My finger really feels the difference when I switch airbrushes to one that doesn't have it. I purchased mine from Spraygunner 3 years ago for $11. They now have it for $30; triple the price for a ten cent part. Ridiculous inflation and greed. What I recommend is buying an el-cheapo Chinese airbrush for under $20 and swapping the air valve spring. That way you get another AB for spraying nasties that you wouldn't put through your Iwata and also get a soft spring too.

Hello, please tell me how the Micron 0.18 model relates to water-based acrylic for painting miniatures? Second question, please explain: some Micron models have a 0.23 nozzle, tell me how with such a nozzle you can achieve the finest detail in painting? On the official website I saw 4 versions of Microns, I was interested in the SM-B2 model, tell me which one is better to choose from the four?
I only use water based paints with my microns. They spray great- just get a water based paint designed for an airbrush.
The .18 and the .23 microns spray surprisingly similar. For me personally, it's kind of hard to tell the difference. The ones I own now are both .18 models- CM-B and the tukumi. You can't go wrong with any micron, but I like the takumi and the cm-b the most
