Cool! Can't wait to see your first airbrushed model.
Just remember to clean your airbrush after each session or when you change colors. Be sure to let the airbrush "blow backwards." Put some thinner into the cup. Put your finger on the nozzle and depress the trigger. The air will push the thinner towards the bottle, taking with it the dirty paint inside the system.
Disassemble and clean your airbrush thoroughly after around three or four sessions for top performance.
Are those your models in your gallery? Those are pretty damn good builds! And to think you've done it without an airbrush....

Congratulations, Dinggo.
As long as you take good care of it, it won't let you down.
Pointers:
Be sure to thin the paints until they are watery (it will drip drops off the stirring stick)
Spray light misty coats, don't keep the a/b lingering in one area too long to prevent paint build up
Parts to clean always:
1. Needle
2. Nozzle
3. Nozzle Assembly (the barrel)
4. Paint cup
