Just about any Tamiya tank will be a good beginner tank.
Their M41 Walker Bulldog is an old kit, but it's an easy build and looks good.
While not a tank, their newer WWII Jeep is an easy and fun build.
I use one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Combo-Circle-Template-STD977110/dp/B000KIBQ46
I find a circle as close as I can to the size of the hubs and mask off the circles around it. I spray the whole wheel tire-color, and then spray the hub olive drab or whatever. It works pretty well.
I usually seal over decals with more glosscoat (I use Future under and over them-- it's SO CHEAP and works really well). I finish up with Testor's dullcote lacquer. They do a nice-looking glosscoat, too, but I haven't tried it. With the Testor's stuff you have to be careful since it's pretty hot and can eat your paint if you lay it on too heavy, but it looks really nice.
An airbrush will change your life. 8)
http://www.amazon.com/Xuron-170-II-Micro-Shear-Flush-Cutter/dp/B000IBSFAI
Best side cutters money can buy, IMO. I used to work at a plastic injection molding company as a machine operator and these blue-handled Xuron cutters were the standard tool for cutting and trimming parts fresh out of the press.
I have always used this stuff for many reasons. It's cheap. It's basically strong soap, so it's not really toxic or scary ( like oven cleaner and break fluid ). I find it works just fine after a couple day soaking. Water and an old toothbrush do the trick. It's doesn't eat plastic like other cleaners. I just have an old Tupperware flat cake transporter I got at a yard sale. I can soak parts galore and 8 whole bodies.

Testors ELO works well if you can get it.
I have this one - https://www.amazon.com/Dremel-4000-2-Performance-Attachments-Accessories/dp/B002L3RUVG, I like the multiple speeds because we use so many different types of materials. Higher speeds for grinding plaster, lower speeds for plastic or polishing if you dare.
I've been looking at this one as it seems to have more power than the nail polishers but is still cordless with more voltage and several accessories that I'm looking for. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FJV4VWN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Is it worth it on the long run to buy a full on Dremel? I have no problem doing that but sometimes a tool can be to much for the job. I'm just looking at polishing canopies and removing raised detail
