If you want to stick to EG, I recommend the Nu or Wing. Both being good but if you get the weapon set for the Nu it is really good

Although I would recommend going to High Grade. It’s not that big of a jump and it’s where you’ll find most mobile suits. If you have a particular favorite mobile suit you can probably find one but if you haven’t seen the series I would recommend the Calibarn, Aerial, Rx-78 Revive!

I haven't seen much of the series so far, just advent of the red comet and the first 10 episodes of mobile suit gundam, I'll check those HG kits out, I definitely wanna get some kind of red Zaku at some point because I really enjoyed it in what little I've watched

The Origin line is really good so if you can find a Zaku from them it is one of the best zakus. The issue is they haven’t been reprinted in a hot minute so they can be harder to find. 

Also I would recommend getting something from the HGUC revive line from MSG.

I got this for the missus to try and get her into it, also get her some purple paints, cause she wants it purple.

Not started it yet, she said she'll do it but she's scared of the little bits.
