Iwata ship their airbrushes with good needles, as do most of the japanese brands. I'm not sure if they make their own, or buy them from some general needle supplier. The quality of the other brands I've tried is very similar. Even on the cheaper models. In my opinion this is one of the factors that still set them apart from the continously better chinese and taiwanese brands. And I would even go so far as to say that older needles often are better than the newer ones. I have a couple of old Iwata HP-C's, a couple of really old Richs and a bunch of old Olymposes, and all of them have nicely polished sharp needles. A couple of them are 20 years old or more.
Better an airbrush in the hand, than ten in the car....
