When your buying an airbrushing kit, it largely depends on your budget... you do infact get what you par for with them.
But thats not to say a cheap kit wont do the job that is required of it.
Take a good look around at different brands and price brackets.
Personally I really like Harder & Steenbeck airbrushes because of the trigger and nozzle assembley being cleverly made. But theres quite a few reputable brands; the most commonly notable being Badger, Iwata, Harder & Steenbeck and Paasche. All of these offer very expensive models, all the way down to entry level ones. But their entry level will be (deservedly) more expensive than the cheapest brushes you can find. I believe H&S's entry model runs in at around £70, while the next one is around £120.
You end up paying a lot for a well made brush with the micro precision nozzles (0.2mm or less) and I would avoid getting a cheap one with this sized tip.
But for 0.3mm and up a cheap brush is probably not far behind the expensive ones.
You will want a gravity feed brush rather than a siphon one for mini painting I imagine. (not that siphon wont do the work, but gravity has finer detail control typically)
The subject of paint is wide open, theres countless brands pre thinned, or all the usual suspects with appropriate thinners all spray well.
I use Citadel colours and Liquitex Airbrush medium. Any Mix ratio of medium to paint is fine, and depends how strong you wish the paints colour to be. Aslong as the mix is thin enough to spray well your laughing, but no such thing as too much medium if your after subtle effects only. Experiment a little and try small selections of brands of paint till you get one that agrees with you personally. Vallejo do a prethinned model air line that reportedly is ready to go out of the bottle, most convinient if you have trouble thinning properly (lots have that problem)
Im not sure what you mean by 'selection of stencil tips', guessing you mean the needle/nozzle config of the airbrush. Most only have one but some have multi sizes in the box, I wouldnt bother, I had a set with 3 in and I never change it... ever! Its too much hassle to stop and break the brush down completely to change it mid way through my job, I would rather pay for 2 brushes ... (I now have 4).
