Peterpools Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Jeroen Perfect looking pre-shading work. What broke on your Iwata that it needed to go in for repairs? One of my air brushes, an Iwata Eclipse had a constant sticking trigger and no matter how much I cleaned it, the problem kept on reoccurring after a few times of use. I bit the bullet, bought all the necessary parts and replaced the complete air valve assemble and internal seals/o-rings. So far so good.

On mine the thread on the nozzle cap (that holds the needle) gave. I couldnt tighten it anymore. A new thread maker had to be ordered from japan. It has been a year now! Shop says the tool arrived last week so repair should not take more than another week. I hope… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed the repairs come out perfect. 🤞 Keep 'em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Jeroen Mission accomplished - the pre shading and various tones look spot on the money. I'm assuming the aileraons, looking just a solid light gray reflect the fact they were fabric covers (?). Keep 'em comin Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not liking the monotone look i cleaned them and resprayed them with a lighter basecoat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The pre-cut glass looks like a real bonus. Screwed up a few previous gunsights trying to cut thin acetate to the correct shape. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Jeroen Right with Harv ... wow! Gus been there and done that more times then I care to remember on various kits over the years. Just having the ability these days to find 3D printed detailed replacement parts is a huge plus. Keep ‘em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
