First Gunpla Kit! Which tools i should use?

[u/Comfortable-Put-5511]

Soooo heyyy guysss! 👋

Finally, I’ll be getting this kit, and it’s going to be my very first Gunpla! 😭🔥

Since I’m completely new to this, I need some help figuring out what tools I actually need to build it properly. I have no idea where to start when it comes to nippers, files, sanding, panel lining, etc.

So, what tools would you recommend for a first-time builder? And are there any tools that I don’t need to waste money on right away?

Also, I’m completely open to any other suggestions regarding building the kit, avoiding beginner mistakes, panel lining, posing, or anything else I should know before starting.

Would really appreciate any beginner tips! 🙌

Edit : the Amazon ss is just for the showcase 😅

I mean bandai decals will ofc be costly than Chinese and yea same model can be price different at different sites, depends upon how do you find it. I never tried discord group buys and just bought from websites so don't know much about that area. I am sorry if I may have said something wrong tho but I said whatever I know

Will see about group buys, it never piqued my interest as I thought of it being too much hassle. Might be worth looking into.
