Hello everyone. I am new to the model kit community. So I do not want to spend a lot on the original brands like bandai which cost a lot. Are there any cheaper alternatives that will still give a good model kit experience as I will be buying it out of my own salary. My preference for the model kit is that it should be a taller one so that I can keep it on display. My budget is around -2500 rupees for the model (I am not sure if it is adequate). Any build that will take some time and is not absolutely hard for beginner is preferred.

Also what tool would I be requiring to build the kit. I would love to get some links or suggestions.

Looking forward to getting some good suggestions. Thank you
