Nothing wrong with your consumables, but assemble as much of the kit as possible before applying paint.

Not an easy question to answer, the best I can do is to tell you to use the search ability at the top of the home page and search for threads on weathering, ageing AFV's, also you can learn a lot from the build articles on the site as a lot of what you want to do is covered, and allows you to see what sort of finish can be achieved.
