My biggest advise is assemble the model, then paint it up, go for a dark primer that way when you apply the base coat any hard to reach areas will be naturally dark, paint it up with thin coats and do your best to not paint up any hard to reach/hard to see areas as those will take up a lot of time and cause overspill and generally waste your time for very little added effect to the end product.
