I am a miniature wargame collector and artist. Usually paint 28mm scale models and figures. I use this airbrush for my base coat, but it's mainly used to apply the dominant color and highlights before working with the detail brush. I have three main airbrushes and this purchase is the best of the three. The needle select is $8 per needle and the quick release valve is another $8. So as far as accessories go, that's something to consider as an extra case is always a good idea. After cleaning, apply gun oil to the lever pivots and the back of the needle. You end up with a double-action trigger that looks like it was machined, not molded. I recommend Hoppe No. 9 for its cleansing/lubricating properties. What sets this brush apart from its cheaper counterparts is that the needle is well protected. The G-22 comes with a $75 air compressor and looks very similar, but the cap on the end is a little flatter, allowing you to bend the needle while holding it with your finger. (After blending paint with a small brush, I hold the tip and press the trigger to blend some of the paint that the brush is missing.) G233's needle cap is deep and I can damage the needle. (The needles keep bending, causing the ink to bind. If you clean the needle frequently, you will need to straighten it.) Tips. You need to clean it well after each use, but make sure water is not the last step. Airbrush cleaner or whatever people recommend, but no water to prevent cheaper components from oxidizing. Plan in your head so you don't mix up needle sizes. Changing needles and tips can be confusing. So label and separate accordingly. Do not use a wrench to tighten the tips. Brass is extremely weak. Final Tip This pistol is designed and ready to break the bank. Parts and accessories are also cheap and even cheaper when you see other brands making compatible parts.
