I ordered this airbrush about 5 days ago, it shipped quickly, it works great, and it is definitely superior to most airbrush reproductions. This is an upper-mid-range airbrush and its performance is nothing less than superior. I have used Iwata airbrushes that did not perform as well as this one. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
Note: When purchasing a hose for this airbrush, make sure that the threaded ends are correct for the compressor that you are using. If you are using a general-purpose compressor, pay attention to the quick-disconnect connectors.
Items you will need to keep your airbrush working properly:
Compressor
Moisture trap
Lubrication
Having said all of that, I love this airbrush. It is extremely precise, and very durable.

It a pretty good beginner airbrush, it would be better if it could adjust a little more fine than It does but overall it's good quality!

I also state that for the price, this Airbrush is a solid 5 star rating. In saying that, I also understood (and did not expect) this brush to do fine very lines. I use this brush for both free-hand T-shirt painting as-well-as painting wood signs.For fine lines, I have a more refined airbrush when needing pencil thin line painting. This brush does work somewhat O.K. when needing to spray a line by keeping the air pressure around 15 psi and drawing back softly on the trigger.
I want to say that with all of my airbrushes, I have rarely needed to pull the needle out to clean them. If changing color, I thoroughly clean the brush under a special shop sink water faucet. While cranking up the air pressure to about 50 psi, holding back on the trigger under running water and using my finger to wipe clean the nozzle area. When I'm finished using the brush for the day, I spray a little WD-40 in the bowl (AFTER THE WATER FAUCET CLEANING) and spray empty the bowl into a rag. The rag prevents WD-40 vapor mist as-well-as using the now moist rag to also wipe the nozzle area clean of any paint build up. I've never read this cleaning procedure anywhere, I simply know and use WD-40 for many cleaning projects in my shop.
Honest reviews on Dual-action 7cc Gravity-feed Airbrush Set - 0.3mm Nozzle
For the money this AB is very good. I use this in painting models. I have a Japanese brand that costs 10 times more. This brush is not as good as it, but about half as good. Lays down a fine line if you use very thin paint at 20 PSI or less. Don't expect to paint a house with this thing. It will do between an 1/8" and a 1/4" pattern very well. You can paint up to about 1/2" pattern My other AB from Japan will do 1/16" or less line, but other than that, the only difference is in the finish of the brush and quality of the material. So great value for the money. If you are a professional painter, you need a better brush. But if you can live with not so fine a line, buy this and save up for the more expensive ones. Comes with standard air fittings for most compressors or other air sources. If you use the canned air, make sure your adapter works with standard fittings.
Pros
Dual action: means you can adjust both the paint flow amount and air pressure volume through the AB's trigger.
Gravity feed means you can use lower PSI.
All metal construction.
.3mm needle for fine spray pattern
Solid with good feel.
Cons
Not sure where I can find a replacement needle or nozzle. But at this price, I'd just buy another AB!
If you need to paint a lot, paint cup is ok but you might have to refill it to complete the job.
Cleaning has been no problem. But I do use hobby acrylics and they clean up with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. Not sure how well this AB will work with other more chemical paints. If you use it with lacquer paints and don't clean it, you are likely to have it freeze up on you and need some a REAL cleaning/Solvent soak. Nothing different here, regardless of cost of the AB. Clean and you are good. Don't clean and yoy wish you had.
I have used this for about two months, off and on, with no issues.
