MP4/27 is curbside, so might be a little simpler to build. Otherwise they are quite similar in terms of kit engineering and complexity.

Thus, I had difficulty placing the tyres & as a result that I had difficulty putting in the tyres, the marking on the tyres were ruined.

Color is tricky for MP4/27. I don't think there is consensus on what that color actually is. I have no experience with TS83, so cannot comment on it. It also depends on how close you what to get
to real car look. For F10 I've used TS8 over white primer, as that was a collective conclusion in forums. TS8 is a bit tricky to apply, as it changes depending on number of coats. If you can get matching
Zero paint, that would be better.

As a rule of thumb I try to glue as many parts together as possible prior to painting. Unless I absolutely cannot pre-assemble parts because of assembly sequence or painting requirements,
I will try to glue parts together beforehand. That allows me to eliminate unnecessary seams as well. You can see all the steps and explanations in my WIPs. Btw, I have WIPs for F2007
and F248 as well.
