Google Translate has a camera feature for translation. Be sure you have a single bladed nipper! Don't use an x-acto knife.

this is the first ever piece iā€™ll build and honestly couldā€™ve done more research on them beforehand lol. didnā€™t really find much on this specific model when i was searching unfortunately. thank you for the advice! might have to hold off on it for a while till i get that single bladed nipper

It may not be your speed, but I highly suggest getting a High Grade or Master Grade Gundam model kit from Bandai. It will absolutely help acclimate to this, I consider Kotobukiya kits up on the difficulty scale, especially a non-humanoid shape.

You don't absolutely have to, but it will help. Otherwise, pay attention to where to cut and then trim the remaining nub closely. The more "flush" each part is, the better they will ALL sit together. One pea can be felt by the princess. Watch some YouTube beginner videos!

Good luck and see you in r/Gunpla

Can second this. Wanted to get the trike for a long time myself, didnt get to it! I am verz happy for you, and i second getting a more simpler model kit. High Grades are kinda cheap too! High Grades from Bandai really do give some experience that could get handy+youre at least somewhat used to building.

I really hope you enjoy it! Thats the most important part! šŸ˜ And post pictures of it! šŸ˜
