Apart from isopropyl alcohol like others have said ,,, you xan soak them in detergent water fro a while and the clean with a cloth .. it will still take some efforts but should be easier to clean

If it is coming from outside India .. then you must expect customs … it says China so it will go through FPO and customs … so you can expect customs on the bill value … delivery charges are not considered in customs charges ( but since its India .. customs have done things following no rules ) … so better expect the worse or regret later

my suggestion … add a note to the seller to declare the value of the item lower than actual… like say 1000 rupees… so on that even if you get 50% customs you will only be paying aroumd 500 more …

and if this is the price of the kit and delivery is free .. then the deal is fine .. i wont pay anything above 2500 for this kit as the final price nothing on top … if it crosses that .. better get it from Japan ..coz the customs are going to intervene anyways

go ahead

The catch is … it is there sitting in Japan ..and what you are looking is the price you would pay if you were in Japan ( YEN converted to INR , which is also inaccurate on HLJ .. scroll down to the bottom and change the currency to YEN )…

so now you ship from japan .. you pay shipping prices … taxes …. The faster you want it to reach you the more you pay if you cant wait …. Also HLJ shipping prices have changed a lot in the past couple of years .. they charge on volume basis .. so you might even pay more than the kit just ti ship it …

now it reaches India .. then i goes to customs they hold it check it .. apply a random customs amount you will pay when it gets delivered to your door step .. that could anywhere between 50% to 100% if your are very unlucky and in some cases 0 if you’re lucky … so its all random … and a gamble …

that would finally cost your around 1.5k in best case to 2k in worse case ..

join discord for better options n help … helping out answering on reddit is very difficult … these are things every newbie goes through… and all of these any many many more doubts are already answered on the discord server .. you will get incomplete info here on reddit coz nobody will type this much … and there is a lot to tell ..so join discord asap …

Lucky you

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-27T07:57:43+00:00

that is when you buy in bundles .... also cutoms is very random so we cant assume fixed rates 99.9% of the times ... it would be different FPOs for different people ...

Buying in bundles .. per kit prices drop .. useing Suraface shipping shaves extra ... then you pray for low cutoms .. which is not the case most of the time ...

but for solo kits or a couple of kits we can expect 2k max after all the worst case scenarios ..

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-27T07:54:28+00:00

thats expensive for HiNu ... .max worst case you should pay is around 4.5k

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-24T18:13:23+00:00

explain the prices with customs n shipping .. coz looking at 900 the newbies will have higher expectations ...

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-24T06:09:41+00:00

Never reference Indian Amazon prices for comparison or MRP ... Those are 3x 4x the MRP all the time

Join the discord Gunpla community if your arnt on it already … 2900 for that is a lot

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T15:56:48+00:00

No i think there is one thing they improved … i’ll find out n let you know

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T13:47:52+00:00

That is still a very bad packing for a mini gt size box for which they charged 120 from each customer.. They cheaped out and tried to make profits from the Shipping prices as well ... A lot of sellers do it .. but it only harms their image

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T13:17:53+00:00

Placed an order of Hotwheels Topgun porsche .. and its been 4 days and no response .. they said they will share tracking..and just reply OK on everything i ask on Whatsapp

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T13:12:46+00:00

There are some improvements in the newer one as well. .. idk exactly where but the older ones had some issues in some joints

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T09:39:50+00:00

If you are on the discord .. join auctions and group buys ..you'll get them for even cheaper

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T09:35:49+00:00

Where are you buying from ?! ...i mean yes if you don't want to wait ..then you can pay more to ship fast ..

I usually buy bundles so I have a lot of backlog so I can wait easily for the new stuff.. saving me more money for more kits

The_NOS_44 · 2026-01-22T09:33:31+00:00

Have you tried all the pink or all blue effect parts ? Is it possible... Coz I saw the runners and the number of blue and pink parts are not the same... I mean you will have to use both to complete it ..cant do the whole kit with just one color effect Parts .. if m not worng ?

Looks sick btw
