I just got an airbrush. Need some advice

Happy birthday!   Are you intending to use it for cakes?  We might have more chocolate airbrush-ers here than cake artists ...  I've never airbrushed a cake, all I know is there are food colors formulated for airbrushing cakes, beyond that ... practice, practice :)

Italian or Swiss meringue buttercream will be quite firm when cold.  You could chill it then carve details like windows and headlights and use the heat of your (gloved) hand to smooth out the body.  As long as it has wheels and is full of sugar your nephew will love it.

 

I agree that fondant is gross but it's good for sculpting and cartoon-y things.
