For doing frisketed work, that'll do fine. Any cheap airbrush will likely do fine, since most of the work is done by the frisket. It's when you get to hand airbrushing details where you want/need a GOOD airbrush. You may never get to that point.

If you can find a Canadian version of the HF quick change kit, that would be best. Its just a blaster of an airbrush, but you can change between colors without having to throughly clean the brush out.

I’m going to say removing them first is better. I’ve used a heat gun and once hot enough, they come out pretty easily. Once they are out, you’ll be better off to “clean” the old glue off (or replace them) and can more properly re-glue them in.

At that point, the large c-clamp, hunk of flat wood and waxed paper would be how I’ve re-glued them.

Does that make sense?
