Gunpla tool checklist: what are you missing for your build?

Check the kit instructions first, then select your building plans and the tools you already own. This selector creates a preparation list for basic assembly and optional cleanup. It does not choose a kit for you or assume every ENTRY GRADE model is tool-free.

Choose your options, then show your checklist.

How to use the result

Only choose tool-free removal when the exact kit says so. A model’s grade or character name is not enough. If you already have a suitable tool, tick it instead of buying another. Optional items appear only when you select the task they help with; they are not required purchases.

Without the selector

Nippers: check the kit’s cutting instructions. Sanding tools: consider them for rough edges. Tweezers: consider them for small stickers. A clear workspace and a container for loose parts may already be available at home.

Bandai explains that some kits allow hand removal, that sanding can improve rough edges, and that tweezers help with small markings. Follow the kit and tool instructions, including age guidance. This selector does not cover painting chemistry, adhesives or specialist modifications.

One catalogue option

The BANDAI SPIRITS Entry Nipper is a plastic-model cutting option. Check the product page for the current variant, price and availability. The selector shows no prices, calculates no subtotal and adds nothing to your cart.

Does a blank result mean the build costs nothing?

No. It means no additional tools from these three categories are suggested for the choices you entered. The kit, other supplies, tax and shipping are outside this checklist.
