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.

Spiritual RG
From what I heard the RG version of the RX-78-2 was a bad build, and this one is a solid substitute. That being said it isn't the same level of intricacy as a RG kit, but is indeed a great deal better than a standard HG. Build quality is fantastic, and has a ton of surface detail like an RG kit. The option to choose between two "builds" for a different look is cool too. If you can get one it's definitely worth it, and looks great once complete.

One of the best HG kits I've built.
This is one of the first kits that I've built and I really haven't seen its match in the HG line since. The level of detail and articulation in this kit is great. The whole origin aesthetic nails it as well.
