I don't know, 1/24 model kits aren't usually designed for beginners... such as me, I remeber assembling my first model car, which is a 1/20 McLaren MP4-4, and of course, that didn't end well... (see below for overall description of the assembling process)
But this is one of the easiest-to-paint race cars I've ever seen (at least it seems so
):http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/24320porsche961/index.htm
...still, I'd recommend you to buy something very cheap (by this, I mean very, very cheap ... maybe ~10-15 Euros?), and something you won't keep it for long. And, I'd say it better be a road car, as road cars don't need a lot of decals on the outer surface 👍
------------------------
(Attention: long 'passage' 
)I didn't buy enough paints for my first model (i.e. the McLaren MP4-4), so I had to replace a lot of the colours with black and silver, plus I don't have good painting/modelling skills/patience, so that resulted in the whole car covered in cement
Then I asked my mother to help me spray-paint the car body, and she just broke it into (almost) two pieces
A few months later, I 'restored' it, and although some parts of it were repainted, it's still very horrible (A broken suspension caused one of the wheels to loosen, and cement is the only way to put it back in place
). But I still keep it nowadays 
(It's still got some missing decals!)
And around half a year ago, I built another model i.e. the DBS (
x10).Since I had suffered from my previous experience in the MP4-4, I managed to build a better model. Yes, it's still horrible, but it's better than the McLaren, and I'm planning on another 'restoration' on it, as soon as I have bought my modelling wax (yes, that's necessary, no matter it's a race car or a road car.)
And now I'm planning on building another model during my 2-month holiday... time for another model to get wrecked!
