Gundam Modeler Basic Tools Craft Set For Car Model Assemble Building Kit by Alemon (Original Version)

This toolkit is a great all-around set of tools for those looking to start building model kits.It includes:- Three metal files of differing shapes/angles- Three sanding boards of differing grit levels- Two tweezers (bent and straight)- One hobby knife plus refill blades- Part separator- Two screwdrivers (phillips, flathead)- One pair of clippers- Plastic caseThe clippers are not the greatest, and I've noticed a slight dulling after just three HG kits, but they're far from being obsolete. The three sanding boards come in three perfect grit levels for me. Since they're unlabeled, I don't know exactly what number they are, but they're a nice selection of coarse, medium and fine grit that work well getting rid of those nubs and seams. The knife is comfortable, and has a textured grip to prevent slipping. The blades are easily swappable, and I was well into work on my third kit before I had to swap one. generally find the metal files to be too coarse for my needs and preferences, and tend to only use them in rare instances. The tweezers are really nice, with very thin tips to get into small crevices. Of course, I mostly just use them for sticker application. The part separator is one of those items I thankfully haven't had to use more than once or twice so far, but worked very well. I haven't used the screwdrivers at all yet, but they don't seem particularly remarkable in any way - good, or bad. The plastic case is nice but I wish it were a little bigger. It fits all of the included items just fine, but doesn't leave much room for anything else you may want to add.The only reason I may suggest going with a different kit over this one might be to get one that includes a cutting mat, but you can pick one of those up separately..

This is a great little starter kit for fine scale modeling. I’m getting back into the hobby after a number of years and needed to rebuild my tool kit and this little guy was a really good place to start. The pen knife is my favorite part of it too. Great quality and is easy to hold. The sprue cutters work great and are a good size for any scale model you might work on. The three grinding sticks are handy and you use the three sanding sticks immediately. I didn’t plan on using the clear box it came in but found it to be more useful than I had thought. There’s other good kits out there but for the price this is a great place to start.

This is the best tool kit for the asking price on Amazon, better than the Tamiya starter set by leaps and bounds. The side cutters are not the best quality, but are comfortable to hold and cut very well while sharp, however I suspect they will dull quickly. They are a good first pair for beginners and will last until you decide to upgrade to a nicer pair.The Tamiya set only includes one set of flimsy angled tweezers. The 2 tweezers, angled and straight, are very pointy and have a quality heft to them.The screwdrivers are nice and long with good handles, well suited to smaller jobs like gunpla.The pen knife is very nice, smaller blade than xacto and a very comfortable tapered handle. It is very comfortable in the hand. Included are a small vial of replacement blades, they look like snapped off sections of a retractable box cutter blade, which coincidentally comes with the Tamiya set. Personally I find that type unsuited to modeling due to the blade not locking in place.Three files are included, a flat, a rounded and an angled. These coupled with the sanding sticks (6 different grits!) will ensure no gate nubs remain on your finished kit.The last inclusion is a humble piece of yellow plastic with angled edges. No one understands it's true purpose, but you will find it indispensable on the journey you will soon embark upon. Hold it fast against your breast, for it is the only thing that will keep you safe when the horrors come to call. Heed my warning or ye be lost to the darkness.Like I said though, it's a great set.

This is such a good and affordable package of things. I would recommend this to anyone getting started in whatever is modelkit related.The only reason it's 4/5 is because there are obviously better tools that you will grow out of, but it's otherwise the most practical purchase anyone could make getting into the hobby.

Included almost everything I needed to get started building not only gundams, but also a perfect starter kit for the automobile models I have collected over the years and never had time to properly build. The case was a nice touch... I have had problems losing important tools over the years, so this case will keep my main tools together and right at my disposal.I was also quite pleased with the price.Before buying "Gundam Modeler Basic Tools Craft Set" I had several of the items it includes individually added to my cart. The total price was going to be around $60.00 for all the tools (name brand) sold individuallyThe money I saved allowed me to purchase 2 additional Gundam build kits and some more supplies to make my builds look even more battle ready.

The really like the nibbers. They feel like they cut through almost unresisted. The 3 Emery boards do a great job as well. The hobby knife is good to. It came with a good amount of blades but I had change the first one out because it got rusty after sitting under the cap for a few weeks. The blade still cuts but I did it for safety. The tweezers have very fine tips, they are very sharp but bend easy. I haven't used the metal files yet but they feel very gritty. Over all great kit.
