A set of needle files like these will help with sanding in hard to reach places: https://www.amazon.com/Fatmingo-LX-0001DT-Titanium-Coated-Diamond-3x140x70mm/dp/B01DC7PPJ8/ I have a cheap set from Aldi. The plastic handles have fallen off a couple though, so maybe look for ones that are a single piece like the ones in the link.
After sanding, I fill any seams or defects with Tamiya basic putty, or for really large areas I use a water based wood filler. After giving that many hours to dry, usually overnight, I sand / file that too.
For painting, Tamiya acrylics. I am not a shill, honest. It has just worked well so far, and you can thin it down for airbrushing if you want to. I do a coat of spray on primer first.
It helps to have decent brushes which will last a while, put down an even coat, and not leave hairs in the paint. They can be a bit expensive, but if you take care of them, it's worth it in the long run.
After all that, I usually do a clear spray overcoat.
Best of luck with your painting!
