I’ve got one great little airbrush you can dial in the trigger lock from back. It’s a lot more hand friendly you don’t get so much hand or finger ache from using for long periods of time and will work down to 10psi. I’m fortunate I can use both I got the trn1 due to my disability I have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands are all messed up but I also use a harder and steenbeck chameleon which is 30grms lighter than the infinity. But this is a great one if your hands are messed up I would think the procon trigger ones would be as good. I would recommend it. The trn2 is exactly the same but side feed
I got the Procon trigger airbrush and works great,bought the trigger style due to a back spine injury and cannot move my fingers good for a longer time with a normal airbrush,cramps and shocking movements. But since the trigger style my paint work is improving step by step. The procon was more expensive then this Iawata now is. And the quality of iawata always has been good,thinking of buying this one also, think the bigger cup will be making the difference. Brings me to a question. Are there even bigger cups loose available for painting a scale 1/24 fridge trailer in 1 go now i need to refill a few times the cup.
Yes it’s a great brush and great info appreciate you sharing re ; how it is easier on your hands, I definitely agree with that and the dial at the rear is definitely helpful to anyone who is starting out or wants to keep a consistent flow of paint, without having to worry too much about mastering the double action technique 👍🏻👍🏻
You could take a look at the HP.TRN2 which has options for larger cups , other than that some of the other trigger models that I mentioned in this video will also work great for larger applications 👍🏻
@@AirbrushAsylum I had a good look around before I got one. The side feed just didn’t feel right to me. I used my trn1 for a year until I got the chameleon which was so light and trigger is adjustable in tension as well as the quick fix. I am looking at possibly getting the procon boy ps 275 or the 290 and toying with idea of building my own personalised airbrush on h&s custom build configure page
@@AirbrushAsylum thanks certainly will look for that option. thanks for the good info you give in the video,s. short and clear,that is what keeps hanging the best in my brains.
I need some help. A couple of days ago I bought a trn1 and I’m having the same problem with my Master Pro Plus they just spit and kinda bubbled out the paint. Sorry I forgot to mention I’m brand new to this. I need rescued. Thank you very much.
I think you've answered my question for the most appropriate tool for painting tennis rackets where weight and balance of the racket must be maintained. Gradual building up of paint rather than broad coverage with thicker application, because I think the weight could get out of hand very quickly.
The TRN-1 is designed for 8 to 20 PSI so a little high on the pressure here. The TRN-1 also has a needle stop adjustment at the rear end of the barrel so you can adjust the maximum amount o paint released making it easier to make fine lines, dots, etc than it is shown in this video.
You didn't mention those of us who have arthritis in our hands/fingers. The trigger airbrush is THE ONLY ONE I can use without constant paint in my fingers/wrist. It's really hard for someone "trained" in the traditional button-style airbrush to give a "non-biased" review! To give you another example, I have used a trackball mouse with my computer for years. I know that the majority of people are used to regular mice that they have to move around on a surface in order to move the cursor on the screen. These folks try to sit down at my computer and literally freak out because ALL they need to do is move their thumb, but they can't get past moving their entire arm/wrist/hand to move the mouse! What I'm saying is that we all choose the tools that work well for us for many reasons and I'm saying that I wouldn't trade my Grex trigger airbrush for any of the expensive button-style airbrushes on the market. At this point, I really CAN'T because I have accretions at the joints of some of my fingers (rheumatoid arthritis) - trigger style for me, that's for sure!
Thanks for the objective review. It is nice to see a review of a trigger air brush where you make it very apparent that you prefer the two stage trigger "normal" air brushes because it is what you are used to but that this form of air brush is still valid.
No probs glad you enjoyed it and yes, it definitely comes down to what you are used to but since having one of these I am finding I am using it regularly to quickly complete backgrounds and other elements within the art, I think the short answer is that you can never have too many airbrushes 👍🏻😉
Great video would love to become a part of your airbrush community I was a Automotive painter for 20-plus years I had a massive heart attack which I lost most of my peripheral vision I have done some airbrushing in the past but I'm looking to get back into painting all of these videos are very inspiring
Iwata are great airbrushes but I got to say they are overkill for most users. My Iwata Eclipse was no better than my Badger 105 Patriot which cost half the price. The cheap Chinese airbrushes are good for basic work and you can buy one for the price of an Iwata nozzle!
Paul from NB Canada. New to the page, some great content so far. Thanks for reviewing this brush (even a year ago,lol) as i have been on the fence about adding a trigger control brush to my arsenal.
Very sorry to hear , I would get in contact with iwata direct as all their brushes come with a 5 year warranty if you are in the US , here in Australia only 1 year …but they should hopefully be able to help you out 🤞🏻👍🏻
I have an Iwata TRN1 I primarily use it for painting in my model railroading honny. I noticed I get an air leak between the nozzle cap and head cap. any advice on what can cause this. Thanks Perry
I have a question when you airbrush photos , like your skulls and things like that are you running any kind of ventilation system?? I am just begining and have a sore bedroom and want to do photos on canvas do I need a ventilator??? And if not what kind of paints are good for my set-up??
I have two TNR2's and I love them! If the 1 sprays like mine, the bomb. I also remove the cap because it can build up with paint/dry tip. I like my HC Eclipse as well. I love the Neo TNR because its easier on my hand/fingers/wrists. Im almost 50 so things hurt more! Haha. I do batch sprays and spray about 30-40 hours a week. Its not a paint sprayer coverage but still a nice sprayer and covers nicely.
Nice demo . I actually own the neo iwata air brush and it’s a descent brush for painting . Would you recommend a larger compressor for an Iwata RG2 spray gun air brush like the larger one similar in the demo . Sincerely J Cheers
I absolutely love my trn-1 and my hp-c both have their place, but when it comes to laying down either primer or high gloss backer, I use my trn-1 when I need to preshade or paint smaller gunpla parts I grab my hp-c
I think I would have to agree about the trigger. I'm 60 years into scale models. Don't think I could ever do anything other than down for air, back for paint. Of course you could probably paint a Tamiya Tiger in just a couple of passes with it. Iwata makes really good stuff and I could see a mural artist or something of that nature having a good go with it. Cool.
Always like your reviews for their strait forward and useful information. I'd like to see a video of the HP.TRN1 reviewing the Fine and Extreme Detail nozzles.
🎥Check out the Iwata Eclipse in this video : ua-cam.com/video/kFl22Q4iHNo/v-deo.html
I did look at theses but nozzles to fiddly I know trn1 is same but like the h&s nozzle set up much easier for me to clean.

Is it possible to upgrade a TRN1 to 0.5 nozzle of TRN2?
I need some help. A couple of days ago I bought a trn1 and I’m having the same problem with my Master Pro Plus they just spit and kinda bubbled out the paint. Sorry I forgot to mention I’m brand new to this. I need rescued. Thank you very much.
Why do you remove the part around the needle ?
I do because it can build up with paint and cause spattered sprays.
Buy alternative one. I've got a £36 one that out does my £150 one.

Hi bro,, can i ask where we can buy this model of IWATA HP. TRN1 AIRBRUSH or mini spray gun? Or how to order. Im from philippines

good for a beginner?
Thanks for sharing mate, do you guys have the Iwata spanner on your site I will have to get one with my next order?
Hey mate yes it is in stock you also get it in the iwata cleaning set if you prefer to get that instead 👍🏻👍🏻
cheers mate , great review and demo , itching to buy one now
Please tell me, is the IWATA POWER JET PRO IS-975 compressor suitable for small fills with LPH 80 spray gun with a 1.2mm nozzle?
nice review, I use trigger style due to some nerve damage in fingers but really like you showed both guns with side by side results
I have one of these and with true Awata style they do the job. Very well made as they should be for the price.
Yes they are a great little unit 👍🏻
Iwata are great airbrushes but I got to say they are overkill for most users. My Iwata Eclipse was no better than my Badger 105 Patriot which cost half the price. The cheap Chinese airbrushes are good for basic work and you can buy one for the price of an Iwata nozzle!
as soon as i saw ur spray test i was like OMG SOLD. thanks for your great demo!

You should've talked about the trigger mechanisms more the dual action of the eclipse allows for much more precision than the trigger.
Very nice demonstration
sir is this brush solvent safe?
