Default Query

Hi Guys. First post so please be gentle!!
Still fairly new to the tanker scene, and am in the process of modding my HL Tiger. I've done the usual: mantle, cupola etc, and also had a go at airbrushing for the very first time, but have a couple of what you'll almost certainly think are basic queries.

1/ Although I carried-out several coats of acrylic and finished with three coats of matt varnish, the paint is still rubbing away easily. Any advice please????
2/ The metal tools / accessories keep falling off. What glue do you guys use? I've tried cyano, but although it seems fast / strong....nope!!
3/ Disconnected the crazy red LED's from the headlights, modded the "covers" to form the slits, and tried a couple of very small bulbs that my father gave me (used on model railways) but they don't light up at all. Any ideas?? (I assume its a voltage / resistance / current thing)
4/ Would it be worthwhile stripping everything back off the tank, re-spraying the whole thing with plastic primer and starting the paint job all over again?

I don't want to go too deep as my pocket won't allow me the luxury, but I wanted it to be....well,..... mine!!

Thanks
