That looks really nice. What brand paints did you use and how did you apply them?
Did you do any surface prep of any kind? I have always used sandpaper or a scotch pad to scuff up the surface before painting.Helpful tip for next time:
I washed the body thoroughly, then trimmed it, and then painted it. Next time I will trim it first, then wash it, and then paint it. I noticed 2 or 3 spots where my fingerprints affected how the paint stuck to the body. Again, my fault, not the fault of the paint.
I have been thinking of trying Spax Stix for awhile and, like you, was always using Tamiya and like you, find that one can of Tamiya isn't usually enough. I just don't care for how expensive the paints are for how little you get for either brand.

No, I did not do any surface prep. What are the advantages of scuffing the surface like that?
It ensures a better adhesion. Helps reduce possible chipping and flaking in the future.
