| Marudek, don't beat yourself up, it's still a vast improvement on the one you bought as a kit!!
As for painting things at this scale I would definately recomend acrylics as they dry to a very thin finish and don't cover up detail. Tamiya is as good as any but there are other makes just as good, it just depends on which is most easily accessible for you.
