I am new to Airbrushing. I did a lot of research and settled on this kit, based on youtube reviews, amazon reviews and resources such as Don Wheeler's Airbrushing tips (search for Don's Airbrushing Tips, he has many good reviews of various brushes). I do not use the G22 airbrush since it is not very beginner friendly (according to reviews and my very limited experience). I bought a Badger 105 Patriot with a fine tip and I like it better than the G22. (it needs a male quick disconnect tip to be compatible with this quick connect). Whatever airbrush you decide to get, it's suggested to get another needle as a backup. I got a medium conversion kit for the Badger patriot as well, both as a back up and because a larger needle is more forgiving with regard to clogging.I feel that this kit is great for a beginner to intermediate user. There is good value in what is included, purchasing the compressor, paints, and airbrush cleaning pot (the glass jar) adds up to nearly the price of this package.
The mixing sticks are like tongue depressors (I break them in 1/2 or 1/4's so they feel more appropriately sized). The paint set included 5 primary colors in the "opaque" line, 6 colors in the transparent line, and a pearlized white. The manual recommends giving a 15 minute rest break for every 10 minutes of use, and the air compressor will get hot after a while, but it will continue operating. Since my main purpose is to airbrush wargaming miniatures and terrain for said miniatures this works for me.
For practice exercises I would suggest checking "airbrushtutor" on youtube, or on his site. For gaming miniatures I would suggest checking out SchnauzerFaceMinis (youtube or site as well). Happy airbrushing.
