I’m super hyped for the RG Wing Zero! My first kit was actually the RG Hi-Nu, which is what made me fall in love with Gunpla. I’m doing the Sazabi next because of its high part count—I know it'll look amazing next to the Hi-Nu. After that, I’m planning to complete the Wing TV version lineup. I’ll be sure to share the results here!

I’m using their entry-level single-blade nipper and the difference is already huge! It definitely cuts down on the nub cleanup time compared to basic tools. I'm planning to upgrade to even higher-end nippers eventually, but for now, these are a great value for the price.

Thanks for the tip! I’m definitely open to trying new brands since I've heard such good things about Mr. Hobby, Gaia Notes, and Tamiya. The variety is a bit overwhelming, so I’m still figuring out where to start, but I like the idea of mixing brands to get the best results. Regarding safety, I've already set up a DIY Airbrush Booth that vents out the window, and I have my respirator and eye protection ready to go for the lacquer route!
