I received this not too long ago, and have had much work experimenting with it. I've had little airbrushing experience, so I wanted to get something that would hopefully work well, but wouldn't run me too much.

I primarily use this for model kit building, and using it for just that, it works wonderfully. The initial box for the compressor and airbrush looks a little cheap, but the items themselves aren't. The airbrush feels like a sturdy quality tool, and the compressor looks exactly like it does in the picture. But white.

Now, the compressor has had only 1 issue so far, and that is the amount of heat it generates. It doesn't get so hot that you can feel it from across your table, but putting your hand to it, its pretty darn hot. This is usually after about 30 mins 1 hour of use, and its understandable since it doesn't come with a tank. I would suggest running it with a fan on, and taking a break every 30 mins to an hour for the compressor to cool down, just as a safety precaution. Everything else about it works fine, moisture trap and regulator does its job.

The airbrush is a little more confusing when I tried it. Initially no air came out, but it was due to the fact that I didn't set the PSI level yet (you can do so by pulling the black knob next to the gauge up and twisting it). Because it obviously isn't a $100 Iwata or anything, you can't expect it to work like one. But so far, I've had very little issues with it. It works, and well I might add. Occasionally a few hiccups, but many times it was due to my bad paint mixing skills. Make sure to clean it very VERY often, paint can get stuck inside this airbrush a bit. Also try dismantling it at least once or twice. You might have to do it eventually some time, and its a little confusing at first but you'll get it.

All in all, if you are on a budget and you want to learn how to use an airbrush, I would certainly recommend this, especially for model kit building. Not sure about other applications, but I'm sure you can use it for those too.
