Absolute Model Newbie Need Advice!

Hi guys im a total newbie to models, but not to cars. I am an rx7 fanatic and i have a couple diecast models of 3rd gens, and a 1st gen transformer. My actual car is a second gen rx7 .. so i ordered a model kit of an Initial D Ryosuke Savannah rx7. The model has arrived and im really excited about it, although i need some advice. THis is my very first model ever and i want to do it right.. What do i need to get ? In terms of painting it would kind of paint do you normally use ? am i supposed to get spray paint? how do i go about doing it.. I know these are pretty basic things, just want to get some advice from people who have done a lot of them.. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Go back to the very first few postings that say"Look here first". This will tell you all you ned to know to get started. Look at the first 3 at the top for all you'll need to know. Good luck

Here's a link for yah FAQ (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t63623.html)

Welcome to AF~
Yes, do read the FAQ, it'll give you lots of hints and pointers.

I've also build this RX7 kit before. If you're not looking to replicate the Initial D car, this is a pretty simply kit to build.

thanks a bunch guys that faq is very helpful.... Ill try to post some pics of my progress as i go along..
