Not bad looking. Never used a Hobbico so I don't know how good their needling is and stuff. It's a side feed from what I can tell. I suppose that works as good as a gravity feed which lets you spray at lower psi. Cool find!

They also have this one:

and this one (Same one as Eddy's but with a kit of stuff):

Some people prefer the side feed versus the top feed because it allows you to get closer to the canvas (body) and can spray a finer line and still see where your spraying. I'm thinking of getting the kit and if I get good with that THEN getting the IWATA that I want. No sense in spending $280 on the pen itself if its just going to sit in the drawer anyway.

What would be a good first airbrush for someone who would like to step up from cans, do some new techniques like drop shadowing, etc for a reasonable price? My dad came home yesterday and out of the blue he said "I'm getting a $200, 6 gal aircompressor when I come home this weekend" LOL. I usually paint like 3 bodies a year, but will probably get more into it... like maybe selling.

Please tell me if its going to suck though... if its not much more expensive, ill get it.

Anyone have any suggestions?
