I'm using these Tamiya acrylics for a car kit i bought a while ago. I bought some brushes as well, but is there anything i should do to the paint, or buy, that will help achieve a smooth and even finish for handpainting?

Tamiya thinner definitely helps. Are you using it to cover broad areas or just to touch up small details? Because it's alcohol based, it's a little harder to work with than some army paint or Vallejo

Should be fine then. It can be difficult to get smooth coverage with a brush on large areas like body panels.
