This is the first time I have ever returned to a site to write a product review. When I was researching this airbrush there seemed to be either positive or very negative reviews. I am here to leave my honest unbiased review. I was quite suprised at the construction of the airbrush. It looked exactly as the picture shows and the weight is comparable to an Iwata. The difference is when you look closely at the machining on the inside of the airbrush. Although it could be polished and smoothed a bit, it did not affect the overall workings of the airbrush. The trigger was smooth and it did not at all feel like a cheap, low quality airbrush I was expecting to receive.
The first thing I would like to comment on is that this airbrush comes with a very small needle. (Unless you get the G-444 set like I did) The smallest needle worked excellent for very thin lines and from a few inches away very nice shadows. The atomization is beautiful and it handled my paints better than my badger vega 2000. I was using createx paints and cheap folk art acrylic paint (mixed with a base extender to thin) painting a poster sized portrait on poster board. The needle was suprisingly a stronger metal than I expected and will not bend unless banged against something. Use care when inserting needles because they have to line up just right so slow down and pay attention.
I think this is an excellent detail brush. I say detail brush because it has such a small pattern that it would take all day to fill a large area with paint. Also, the shape of the bowl allows you to use the paint down to the last drop, so you dont waste paint like you do with bottom feed airbrushes. Cleanup was easy as I used a small round paintbrush and water to get down into the bottom of the bowl.
You will have no problems with this airbrush if you know how to work an airbrush and thin your paint correctly. (Like I said, I sprayed a portrait with folk art acrylic paint) I would highly recommend this airbrush if you are familiar with airbrushes and looking to add another to your set.
Sorry about the rambling but I wish someone had posted this review when I was looking. Good luck.

Best Deals for Master Airbrush® G444-SET High Precision Detail Control Dual-action
the master G444 is a decent brush for the money. while more experienced airbrushers may want to opt for a better brush. I have not sprayed urethane paint through this yet but for acrylics I would STRONGLY suggest the purchase of an airbrush medium as well. the master G44 performs decently, although a bit finicky about paint thickness and viscosity. The inclusion of the MAC valve and trigger stop are fantastic and the fine lines with this brush are above par. parts are stocked and very reasonably priced. just keep it clean and it works well. I have been using it to paint SFX latex prosthetics and it really shines in this application.Honest reviews on Master Airbrush® G444-SET High Precision Detail Control Dual-action
I bought two of these after trying out a G34 that was owned by a friend. I own and regularly use 2 Iwata Microns along with Badger Renegades and Chromes so I know a thing or two about detail airbrushes. They are not a $525 Iwata Micron Airbrush but are wicked close in performance for only $40. If you want to see my work and qualifications than go to www.airdragon.comYou can also find some tips and tricks there along with recommendations for what you need to get started airbrushing. Also, there is a link to a couple videos on equipment and how to start airbrushing.
Although, I was looking primarily for a detail gun I bought the kit with the medium and general tips and nozzles. I'm really happy with my purchase. This would be an excellent purchase for a beginner because of the 3 tip and nozzle combinations. You have the .5 mm tip to make a good beginner airbrush and when you master the airbrush you have the other tips for more detailed work.
Of course, this is also a great buy for the experienced airbrush artist that is looking for a great airbrush that does it all from detail work to general coverage. I would definitely recommend this purchase because this is one of the best deals around on airbrushes and I am going to recommend it on my website and feature it in my Amazon Store.
