What kind of glue applicator is best used in order to ensure that no glue overlaps where it needs to be? Especially with the small glue areas (rails).

This is good for cyanoacrylate glues, I am not sure what kind of glue you are usingB000GKWE1W

Does kit has the paints and glue or do i need to buy them separately?

no paints or glue are included with this kit.

What are the main differences between the 53035 and the 53040 models? I’m looking to buy photo etch kits but I want to know if I can interchange.

I assembled only the Tamiya TAM78030 1/700 kit. I have no knowledge of the two kits you mention.

Do the superstructure and the guns need to be painted, or is the base plastic the appropriate color?

All parts should be painted, the hull is KM50, dark grey, and the superstructure KM51 MED grey. Plus raw plastic looks like plastic not a ship
