I am thinking of buying a Iwata air brush and would like to know if
anyone uses this brand and which would be the best model for taxidermy
work .Thanks for any information given.

I have four and they are great. If you will only have one airbrush I would recommend an iwata HP-C if you will have two add an HP-B. The HP-B is finer.
Hope this helps

The Iwata is the best fish detailing air brush around. I have had mine for over 15 years and would stop doing fish if I couldn't use it. It is not cheap but it is worth every penny. Tony is very detail oriented and his recommendation on the other Iwata is good enough for me.
Iwata the very best! I use the HP-C and Eclips series.For clear coating fish,the Iwata W-400 gravity feed gun in unbeatable!
Here's where I got mine. It's a great airbrush.

The Iwata airbrushes aren't cheap. The last time I bought one it was $99 from Bearair.com, But be prepared. If you ever need a tip or needle they are $26 & $10 respectively. Whereas paashe tips and needles are just a couple of bucks apiece. They are sweet though.

They are made from stainless steel very strong. I bought extras, but have never changed them after two years of constant use. They are still going!
Paasches needle bend easy, I got three of them!
