I have never used one of these models, but use different airbrushes since over thirty years. I always bought quality in airbrushes and compressors as well.

What you choose for your purpose should be determined through some factors, like:
- how often do you use the AB
- what type of airbrushing do you plan, meaning, how fine or how artistic do you go
- which color mediums do you plan to spray 
- what are you planning to invest
- are you willing to learn proper airbrushing (if that is not already the case)
- ergonomics

 

Choosing the right airbrushing equipment is difficult as is airbrushing itself. My personal view is biased to top quality, like H&S Infinity or Rotring airbrushes, a Sparmax compressor with tank a spray booth and a respirator mask, but I use my airbrushes almost daily and also spray aggressive materials, like lacquer paints.

Assumptions:
The mentioned airbrush might have a pulsing airflow with the tiny or non existent tank, it is bulky and I guess will lead to camps in the hand with longer usage best cordless airbrush for miniature. The cheap fabricated airbrush might be unreliable with the pressure consistency and not too easy to maintain.
I don't now the price of the pictured airbrush, but are there fitting spare parts around, a very important aspect in long term use. Are different needle / nozzle sets available?

One last anecdote about quality, My old compressor died away this year due to expansion tank corrosion. It was a good model and costed me about 400 (hard earned at the time) German Mark, about 200 € in 1984.

I’m thinking about getting an Airbrush. Does anyone here have experience with it? What would you recommend? What do you use it for? Thanks in advance!
