What a fantastic airbrush. Someone who was reviewing paints online incidentally mentioned that this was the airbrush that he was using, and that he loved it, so, being very reasonably priced, I decided to take a chance. I am SO glad I did. It is now my go-to airbrush and definitely my first choice for all my painting projects. I also have an IWATA Eclipse HP-CS (almost twice the cost of this one), but Im having a chronic issue with it, where the paint will just randomly stop flowing. This airbrush, however, with the same batch of paint, will just keep spraying and spraying, so Ive given up on the IWATA and just use this one, now. I am getting some outstanding paint jobs from this airbrush, with very even and very smooth coverage C no orange peel, no build-up. It is somewhat tedious to spray an entire 1:48 aircraft with only a 0.2mm airbrush, but with patience, I get the coverage I need (Ill look whether there's a 0.3mm or even 0.5mm version of this brush). And, considering I ordered this in Aug 2023 and have used it almost weekly since, it has been extremely reliable, and with proper cleaning after each spray session, has always worked perfectly. The smallest of downsides is that the paint cup wasnt fully chromed on mine, so paint tends to dry/stick/buildup on the walls of the cup and requires extra care when cleaning, but I wont even dock it a star for that. A bonus is that it also has a MAC valve (amazing at this price point), but Ill be honest, I havent used it yet because I just always set my compressors regulator, so I cant comment on its effectiveness, but at least the option is there. So A+ and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
