I would think this set up should be good for a while. Not the greatest quality but should function well as long as you keep it clean and thin the paints properly. Use Fascolor or Createx water based paints instead of the Pactra laquer based ones. Easier to fix mistakes and clean up is a lot better. No fumes either.
Biggest challenge for me has been figuring out how much to thin each color as they seem to require different amounts to work right with a 3mm needle. I am using a Parma F1 which is similar in design to yours and works well. Keep the air pressure as low as posible too as it will help eliminate spider webbing and dry tip problems. 15lb to 25lb should be plenty if thinned properly.
Oh, and get use to putting down light coats and build up to the color you want. I always tend to put down too much paint and regret it.

i have the g22-excellent airbrush
u will need a better compressor
tip-on the g22.....you unscrew the cap to get thinner lines....when you clean the brush,twist off the next "cap"...make sure this is clean and free...dried paint here will prevent the brush from sparying properly
I love my brush its a good buy
