Now that´s a good price! Congrats!

On the cleaning: I learned to draw the needle out to the front when cleaning the airbrush. Also to place it back into the corpus from the front. No damage to the tip!

I wonder if anybody could explain me if there is a dedicated Iwata for modellers? With all those different models and designations given by Iwata my head hurts...

There are supposedly different models (of all brands) that are better for painting with different mediums. Which ones and what I couldn't tell you as it is confusing as all heck! I think what it really boils down to is tip size, air pressure, paint mixture, and of course user preference and ability.
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.

I really prefer a twisty straw and a bottle.
