beside Tamiya spray,have other brand nice for plastic model? Tamiya kinda ex for me =.=

mr.hobby is another brand but the price is quite similar..
1st advice, you can use industrial spray cans, cheaper a lot and bigger cans BUT can to be cautions as not all the brands are suitable and also the paint gets thick very easily if not sprayed with care. Brands so far that i know works well with the plastic is Anchor(according to others) and Nippon Pylox(which i have in the past, no problems).

2nd advice, if you're planning to go further or serious in this hobby, i would suggest investing an AB(Airbrush) set as it is cheaper if long term use than spray cans. With AB, can control the paints better, do more effects such as pre-shading and etc. The end result is more satisfying than spray cans. That's why i changed to AB now.

thanks for advice ,i still new for this hobby ,so now still hand painted ~.~ maybe will get a AB ,er....how much AB usually cost?

wow~ get your advice~

About Top coat ,which 1 are better? any recommend?

wow..effect look really nice...make me wan to buy Anchor spray now ..>.<

Hand painted VS Spray painted which better?

yes, but investing in AB if you're very serious in this hobby will save $$ because imagine if you keep buying spray cans for 10 years, the value will be more than the AB alr as AB use's small amount of paint.
Before painting kit, use primer/surfacer...
After painting kit, top coat
the Usual steps
Pre-assemble --> sand --> primer/surfacer --> paint --> topcoat(gloss(for decals and panel lining washing method))(can skip) --> panel line --> decals --> top coat

Thanks for this great step but may i know Primer/surfacer for what purpose?
