Pretty much what Steve and TLAM said. What do you like?

Start cheap, even if it is an old Airfix one for now - do it, take your time over it - paint what needs painting when it need painting, you can't do it all when it's finished!
Once you have finished then walk away, go out, grab a drink. When you come back to it have a good look, see where there are mistakes - too much glue? Too much paint or not enough? Fingerprints? Decal not straight? Wobbly undercarriage or snapped stanchion? - Make a list. Next time you make a model pay more attention to whatever areas went wrong*
I'd also recommend doing the same kit again for a better comparison.

No offence intended, but things will go wrong no matter how careful - It took me a couple of years before I got just one spot-on first time.
