PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
| ✅ | The 0.5 mm nozzle sprays thicker paints — primers, metallics, varnishes — with less thinning and far less clogging than a fine-detail airbrush. |
| ✅ | Runs clean atomisation at a low 20–30 psi, so it pairs happily with almost any hobby compressor. |
| ✅ | Genuine Japanese build with a spring-steel needle and solvent-resistant PTFE packing — it takes a beating and keeps going. |
| ✅ | Ergonomic comfort handle and an enlarged chucking nut make long sessions and needle cleaning genuinely easy. |
The Revolution HP-CR is the workhorse of Iwata's entry-level range — and "entry-level" for Iwata still means Japanese engineering, not a compromise. It's a gravity-feed, dual-action airbrush built around a 0.5 mm head, which makes it the natural choice for coverage work: priming, base-coating, zenithal, varnishing and blocking in large areas quickly and evenly.
Because the 0.5 mm nozzle and needle are more forgiving, you can spray heavier and less-thinned paint without constant tip-dry — a real advantage when you're getting paint down fast or working with thicker mediums. Dual-action gives you independent control of air and paint for smooth gradients and transitions.
If you want one airbrush that primes, base-coats and varnishes reliably for years, the HP-CR is a proven, honest tool at a fair price. For very fine line work you'll want a smaller nozzle — see the honest note further down; we'd rather tell you than sell you the wrong thing.

The HP-CR uses the Iwata R5 head system (0.5 mm). These are the wear parts you'll eventually reorder — all available genuine:
| ▪ | 0.5 mm needle (R5, spring steel) |
| ▪ | 0.5 mm nozzle (R5, screw-in) |
| ▪ | Nozzle cap and needle cap (R5) |
| ▪ | PTFE needle packing screw set |
| ▸ | Thin acrylics to roughly semi-skimmed milk consistency and start at 20–30 psi. The 0.5 mm is forgiving — you don't need to over-thin. |
| ▸ | Mid-session tip-dry? Ease the needle back through the enlarged chucking nut to clear the tip without a full strip-down. |
| ▸ | Seat the nozzle with the supplied spanner — snug, not gorilla-tight. Threaded nozzles crack if over-tightened. |
| ▸ | A drop of Iwata Lube on the needle and packing keeps the trigger smooth and makes the PTFE seal last. |
| 📦 | Order before 3 PM Mon–Fri and we dispatch the same day from Derby. |
| 🚚 | Sent tracked via Royal Mail. We're in the Midlands next to the Royal Mail superhub — a genuine speed advantage across the UK. |
| 🛡️ | 5-year international limited warranty (Anest Iwata-Medea), extended to 10 years in the UK by The Airbrush Company Ltd for purchases from an authorised UK reseller — which we are. Keep your proof of purchase. |
