Buying my first Gundam from Kwai Katta. Need suggestions under ₹6k!
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to buy my first Gundam from Kwai Katta and wanted to get some advice before placing an order.
The kits I'm currently considering are:
- Full Mechanics Aerial (1/100)
- MG Providence Gundam (Zhujiang)
- HG Cal-re.A with Wings of Light
- and some of the above in the photos
My budget is around ₹6,000.
I'm mainly looking for:
- Great shelf presence and detail
- Good build quality
- Decent articulation
- Good value for money
- Preferably 1/100 scale, but I'm open to 1/144 if it's really worth it.
One thing I'm a bit concerned about is build quality. I've seen a few posts and videos where people ran into issues during the build, such as loose joints, poor fitting parts, or pieces needing extra cleanup. Since this will be my first purchase from Kwai Katta, I'm not sure how common these issues are or whether they're just isolated cases.
A few questions:
- Has anyone here bought from Kwai Katta? How was your experience with packaging, delivery, and overall service?
- Are these third-party/generic kits worth buying, or would you recommend saving up for an official Bandai kit instead?
- If you had a ₹6k budget, which kit would you pick?
- Are there any other MG, Full Mechanics, or third-party kits under ₹6,000 that you'd recommend instead?
I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you've built any of the kits I mentioned. Photos and recommendations are more than welcome!
Thanks in advance! 🙏
