    I have a 50% off coupon for a local craft outfit and was checking out
their airbrush selection. I noticed they have the Iwata Eclipse. They
also have two other airbrushes that look very similar to the Iwata but
have the following labels.
    Anthem, Model 155-7
    Crescendo, model 175-7
    The last two say made in USA. Are these locally produced Iwata or
what?? Enlightenment sought!

The 155 and 175 are made by Badger and are both good airbrushes. The 155 is
about the same size as the Iwata Eclipse and the 175 is a larger more heavy
duty airbrush, but it will also produce a fairly fine spray pattern.

I have the Crescendo by Badger. It is a nice airbrush, and it came
with 3 different needles for fine, medium and heavy. I am still
learning it, but I love it and am very happy with the medium needle,
as I can use most of the model master acryl line without diluting it.
