The Masters G44 (and by proxy the G40, 41, 43, 45, 46, and 48) by TCPGlobal is a great starter airbrush for anyone looking into getting into airbrushing. You can acquire a full set with everything you need to start for under $200, and if you just want the airbrush by itself you are looking at a low cost of $35 to buy one. The Masters G44 is a .2mm gravity feed airbrush that is usable for fine detail work and has several features from more expensive airbrushes like Iwata. This is the airbrush that I always recommend to people getting into the hobby because if you buy it as pictured below you get about everything you need including an air compressor that is the same one that I have been using for the last 7 years of continued service. This is actually my first airbrush that I got into the hobby of airbrushing seriously with. I eventually upgraded but it served me well as my primary airbrush for 2 years and still sits on my airbrush rack fully maintained.

You can get multiple needle sizes for it including the included .2 mm, .3 mm, and a .5 mm tip/needle. Each of these needle and tip combos are under $9. Which in the world of airbrushing is a really good deal. If you are buying new needles and tips for your airbrush you can refer at the bottom for the breakdown of what airbrushes uses what needle/tips.
One word of note is this video tutorial can be used with the Master G40, Masters G41, Master G43, Master G44, Masters G45, Masters G46, and Masters G48. The only real difference between these airbrushes is the size and shape of the paint cup that is on the airbrush besides the G46. The G46 actually features a removable cup system where you can switch to larger and smaller paint cups depending on the job. The Masters G40, Masters G41, and Masters G46 also use a different needle/tip set up, so if you are buying different needle kits, make sure you are buying the right ones.
