The Olympos HP-100C (Artist) model is a workhorse airbrush with a 0.3mm nozzle and 7cc fluid cup. In terms of craftsmanship, it is similar to the Iwata High Performance Plus (HP+) series.
In fact, many of the parts are IDENTICAL with those of the Iwata HP-C+. Others are interchangeable, as they are designed to the same specifications and produced in the same factory. (See below for photo comparisons). You can mix and match parts as you see fit.
Olympos Airbrushes
One of the world’s best airbrush companies is back! Olympos was a dominant manufacturer in previous decades. It was the inventor of the original Micron airbrush, which it licensed to Iwata before taking a hiatus from production. (In fact, Olympos designed several airbrushes that are produced by Iwata, not just the Custom Micron series).
The parts for Olympos airbrushes are made in the same factories as other top Japanese airbrushes. This is an airbrush for professionals, by professionals. New ownership has revitalized the company, and parts/service are now available.
Key Features:
0.3mm nozzle
Professional grade trigger action
Superior atomization
Generous 7cc gravity cup
Preset dial for limiting needle travel (paint flow)
Superior Japanese quality (made in same factories as other high end Japanese models)
We believe this brush is comparable to the top models from other Japanese manufacturers, at a temporary price well below the competition.

Olympos does not offer warranty service outside Japan, so we opted to create a warranty program for Canadian and American customers. Warranty terms and conditions are included in the box with your airbrush.
