Question
Will I need to buy any tools or what tools do I need?
Answer
You need nippers as a minimum, a sanding material would help but isn't required.

Best Grandpa imo
A few nice variation options, a solid build, and a fun level of challenge (low).
The kit has become a bit pricey, but I do recommend it if you are looking for an HG RX78

Great Kit
This Is the first HG Kit I have ever built.
I really enjoyed working on this kit.
some pros of this kit are... Great articulation, Good detail and good weapon/hand variety.
some cons of this kit are... Included stickers suck (Buy waterslides for this kit) and Loose joints.
Overall I would recommend this kit to any beginner.

4.75/5.0
IMO this is the grandaddy to have unless you can shell out for the PG unleashed.
It gets demerits because the shoulder mounted cannon doesn't stay in position as well as it really should, and the wrist mounted shield ratcheting action is very loose and hard to set.
Minor demerits. If you're old enough to gunpla, this is the grandaddy to start with.
