Seems like a pretty good price for a set of basic tools for putting together all those new Gundam kits. Similar price to AliExpress counterparts and you can get it a lot quicker.
CamelCamelCamel.
So are you the saying nipper in this kit is good or bad?
I bought a kit from overseas once and lent it to a friend. Never got it back lol. Got a few boxes of Gundams waiting to be built but I'm also looking for a glass case to put them in.
It's for the thick bit on the runner, then use shaper single blade nipper for the nubs.
It's fine, it'll do the job. You can then use the included files to clean up the cut.
I've already built HG Aerial and HG RX-78-2 Beyond Global with this kit and they turned out great.
The nipper in this kit is okay for beginner as long as you don't mind the stress marks which you can't see them from far distance. This thick double bladed nipper leave a stress mark on the most nubs if you try to flush cut or cut too close on the gunpla parts. With this nipper you are better cut the gate slightly away from the gunpla parts then trim it down with the hobby knife.
A good single bladed nipper allow you to flush cut the hub or cut the hub closer to the gunpla parts then use a hobby knife (comes in this kit) to remove the remaining nub.
Thanks for the advice. Any recommendations on a good single bladed nipper?
@m00seTheC0wSnake: Start researching God Hand SPN-120 on Youtube and then decide whether you want that or one of the copies. Plenty of comparison videos.

Add that to a camels list and wait for Sub $60 price. Or Dspiae brand which sometimes can be had cheaper than my link:

@m00seTheC0wSnake: I got the God hands and it has made the whole building process even more enjoyable. It's very pricy but I happy to spend that for the experience. The Dspiae might be good, but I didn't bother testing them out.
P.S I do not apologise for the shameless self-promotion of my own deal.
@m00seTheC0wSnake: I would recommend Godhand nipper Spn-120 and Dspiae STA/STX as they are the most trustworthy, but they are expensive. I am interested to give them a try, if my wallet allow me. Like vavoom said, do some research on YouTube is good way to start.
I'm currently using Manwah single bladed nipper $24, it is better than the nipper in this kit but still leave some stress mark, link here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/274555600885?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…
@MaOptAus: Thanks for the recommendation! Yeah, I’m only just starting out with gunpla so hesitant to spend that much in the Godhand. Will check out the Manwah.

My recommendation is get a good single bladed nipper too. I only use the nipper comes in this kit for cutting the clear parts as they are hard plastic for a single bladed nipper.
