Hey balstaf87, Welcome to MW!! Well for your 1st post, heres yoru 1st answer, mine is long gone But I had that model kit and a few others, they are relatively easy to assemble, just gotta take your time and follow the pictures, Good thing is that part "B6" is is "B6" in English or Japanese. If someone does have translated instructions, you might find them here in a archive thread.
As for paints, Tamiya is your best bet, good choice of colors and smooth application. Both in spray can and bottles for a brush. Or if you have an Airbrush machine, shoot, just mix your own custom light brown. And a flat or off white if you want a slightly used look.
I'm sure others will post their tips or give you some better pointers on how to make your kit the best one possible!!! Good luck on it, keep up posted!!
