PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Iwata Revolution SAR Airbrush
0.5 mm Siphon Feed • Single Action • Made in Japan • Model R1000
AUTHORISED UK IWATA DEALER
Why the Revolution SAR 👇
✅Single-action simplicity: preset your paint volume with the fluid knob, then just press the trigger for spray. The easiest kind of airbrush to learn.
✅Siphon (bottle) feed with a 30 ml bottle — far more paint than a cup, and you can keep prefilled bottles for instant colour changes.
✅The 0.5 mm head sprays thicker paints and covers large areas quickly — base coats, backgrounds, T-shirts, general coverage.
✅Genuine Japanese-built Iwata quality at Revolution-series value, with a comfort handle for long sessions.
🖌️ About This Airbrush

The Revolution SAR is the single-action, siphon-feed member of the Revolution family. Single-action means the trigger does one job — press for air and paint together — while a fluid adjustment knob presets how much paint comes through. Set it once and spray; it's the simplest airbrush to operate and a genuinely easy place to start.

Feeding from a 30 ml bottle rather than a cup gives you two things: capacity for larger jobs without constant refills, and the ability to keep several bottles prefilled with your regular colours for near-instant swaps. The 0.5 mm head suits this coverage-focused role — it handles thicker, less-thinned paint and lays it down fast over big areas.

It's built with the same quality as the dual-action Revolutions, in a simpler single-action design. If your work is coverage, base-coating and background spraying — or you just want the least fuss — the SAR is a smart, honest choice. If you need to fade and shade on the fly, read the note below first.

📦 What's in the Box

▪Iwata nozzle spanner and Iwata Lube
▪Manufacturer's instructions

Note: air hose is not included — airbrushes connect to a standard 1/8 in fitting.

🔧 Spare Parts & Compatibility

The SAR uses the Iwata R5 head system (0.5 mm). Genuine wear parts you'll eventually reorder:

▪0.5 mm needle (R5)
▪0.5 mm nozzle (R5, screw-in)
▪PTFE needle packing; spare 30 ml bottles
Compatibility, straight:
✓ The 0.5 mm needle and nozzle are the same R5 parts as the 0.5 mm Revolution HP-CR and HP-BCR, and the 0.5 mm needle matches the Eclipse HP-BCS.
✗ They do not fit the 0.3 mm Revolution models (HP-AR / BR / CR3 / TR1 use the R3 head). 0.5 mm and 0.3 mm parts are not interchangeable.
✗ The nozzle is threaded (not Eclipse compression-fit) — use genuine Revolution nozzles, don't cross-fit.
💡 Pro Tips
▸Siphon feed likes a bit more air — around 30 psi gives a nicely atomised, even coverage.
▸Set the fluid knob for your paint and job, do a test pass, then just work the trigger. That's the whole single-action workflow.
▸Buy a few spare bottles and prefill your go-to colours — swapping bottles is the fastest colour change there is.
▸The needle and nozzle are delicate — keep a spare on hand, and never force the threaded nozzle when refitting.
⚖️ Honest Limitations
• Single-action can't vary paint on the fly. Paint volume is preset, so it's not the tool for blends, fades or fine shading mid-stroke. If you want that control, choose a dual-action — the Revolution HP-CR/BR or an Eclipse.
• This is a coverage airbrush, not a detail one. The 0.5 mm siphon setup is built for base coats and large areas. For crisp small-scale detail you'll want a finer gravity airbrush.
• Siphon feed needs a working minimum of paint in the bottle — for a single drop of a colour, a small gravity cup wastes less.
• Revolution is Iwata's entry tier: excellent value and Japanese-built, but refinement sits below the Eclipse and HP lines.
