Iwata-Medea Eclipse BCS Airbrush Needle 0.50mm (I 617 1)

Nice quality needle. Performs as expected

Good product!

Item arrived safely, brand new in the package. I'm replacing the needle on a Iwata Revolution that I picked up used.

I don't remember exactly how I picked the Amazon Marketplace vendor I got - Embellish FX - but I lucked out: the people at Embellish FX packed my replacement needle very expertly, very professionally. Iwata's original packaging for replacement needles is a long, skinny rectangular plastic bubble mounted on an equally long, skinny piece of cardboard; the Embellish folks rubber-banded this whole assembly to a fairly large (about 5"x7") piece of corrugated cardboard, and put it in a bubble-cushioned plastic envelope. That's the time-tested, old-school way of shipping something delicate, and it worked great: no crushing, no bending, no loose product flopping around in a torn box or whatever. So sorry to hear one reviewer's tale of the needle being loose in a bag... it must have been a different vendor.Addressing some of the other reviews: I would recommend doing a little research on Iwata's website to find the exact part number for the needle you need for your airbrush. Iwata makes a lot of different models, and the needles are not universally interchangeable. Find and download the manual for your particular airbrush; there is a chart on the last page of each manual listing the models in the series (Eclipse in my case) that will give you the part number.

Worked great.

Glad this replacement part is available

It sprays a much larger area than the .35mm. I'm sure it would work great with thicker paint too. It requires 2 more parts to work correctly

The usual Iwata quality. Why invite the hassle of inferior quality with cheap imitations.
