First suggestion is to make sure you read over the directions very carefully.
Especially if it's a transformable kit.

Painting and detailing will also need to be planned out carefully because of how some things go together in these kinds of kits.

I would go watch a bunch of Gundam videos on YouTube. Since the transforming kits are pretty similar to Gundams. (Not the same thing, but build up the same.)

You just picked a very difficult kit from MOSPEADA (Third generation in RObotech).

This motorbike is quite fragile if you want to transform it. I may suggest that you choose the Armor form, since the motorbike is awkward with his pilot on it (or maybe not piloting it ?).

Since it's a 1984 model kit, the seams will be difficult to fill and the kit parts are not always fiting the proper way. Good luck with it...
