I need to find a place to buy the paint and brushes now.
The Range may well have those.

That's the Belkits Manta, yes?
Hobbycraft's your best bet if you have one locally, Stooo.
I'd suggest using Tamiya paints because they're the best as far as quality goes - easy to apply and usually accurate.
Humbrol are inconsistent in quality - the paint often has a bad habit of separating from the carrier and doesn't always adhere well.
Revell have an annoying tendency to tell you to mix 3 or 4 different colours to make the one you want, which is a bit of a rip-off as they often carry the paint you want, it's just under a different name. (they also require a
lot thinning before use)
For glues I'd go for this for general assembly
And for more precise areas this
Both are available in Hobbycraft.
Tube glue is best avoided because it tends to string and smear the parts, especially the clear ones (voice of experience speaking here
)
Here's an in-the-box review
Hope that helps and isn't a case of teaching your granny to sook eggs.
