Looking for a good budget airbrush beginner-intermdiate set

Hello! I am currently slowly getting into modelling and was thinking of treating myself to an airbrush/compressor kit this Christmas. I was wondering if this particular one would be any good - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/grabstore-air-brush-compressor-43569247879420/ open to any other suggestions, cheers.

ISO Morgenster ship model

Hi there! I hope I’m asking on the correct subreddit—but I am looking for a scale model of the 1919 Morgenster sailing ship. My husband is currently taking his first sailing adventure on this specific vessel and I would really like to find a miniature version of it for his office as a Christmas gift! I have no idea where to start looking or even if something like this exists. I’d appreciate any and all suggestions or advice :) Thanks!

Best glue/ photo etched parts

Hi everyone my partner has asked me to buy him some models for his Christmas, he is really into WW1/2 models and gave me a list to choose from. So far I have got him a tamiya M4 early production and a Panzerkampfwagen (both 1/35 scale).

I am looking to see if anyone knows where I can potentially get some photo etched kit to upgrade the M4 (UK Based) and additionally what glue for both application of upgrade kit and/ or just models in general.

I know that he currently uses either the tamiya (green top) and then just gorilla glue for his models but if anyone has any other suggestions that he could try that would be great. Thanks in advance for any help I am out of my depth with this 😂

Question about clear coats and waterslide decals

I have a Hygogg gunpla model I've been working on. I have a few layers of paint done and am ready to move on to the next phase. I plan to do panel lining so I'm going to do a gloss coat so it applies cleanly, but can't find much info that answers if I should apply the water slide decals between the acrylic paint layers and the acrylic gloss varnish or between the gloss and flat final clear coat I want to finish with. What would be the best point to apply the decals?
