What's the best tube plastic cement?

I quit using testors a long time ago, after learning how to use liquid cement and using superglue. Ive heard its better quality now than it was 15-20 years ago so what brand is best? Still testors?

Paasch Paint Jars w/ Badger Airbrush?

Will Paasch paint jars fit on a Badger airbrush?

Badger 80-2 Compressor questions (EDITED)

My airbrush is spitting a lot of water lately.

I also have never replaced this filter/tra...

If it worked out I was also going to use it on aircraft (small scale) to mask the cockpit glass. T...

To Clear or Not to Clear?

After getting this paintjob done I only have the clear coat left to do. I'm reluctant to clear coat it because I'm happy with the paintjob and am afraid of clearing it and losing the appearance. What would be your suggestions? What is the most user friendly clear? The last space ship I used Testor's...
