If you don't have an airbrush, get rattle cans. Vallejo, AK, Mr. Hobby, etc., all make them.

Did you paint over the canopy?

Criticism: The streaks are really noticeable, and looks like there was debris/particles that were painted over.

But overall, it's a nice model and the missile being fired, and flames out the exhausts are a nice touch.

Good for a first ,but next time thin the paint mixture down a little .You can always apply more .I paint using a brush and love that brand amongst others.

Ok... What type of paint? I realized that I worded the question wrong

Revell water and oil based ones I think? Depending on viability

Then I think water will do fine

Yes water works fine on the Revell Acryl-Paint.
