You?ll definitely need the nipper or clipper tool. You will probably need a tweezer too to grasp the stickers and hold them in place until you can stick them on.

I bought this tool set when I first started out a couple months ago

Something like this is not a necessity, but it can be nice to use to organize the sprues

And then a nice glass file could help with smoothing nubs out. I myself am not too worried about smoothing everything out

These are just some ideas. I would think the only thing you absolutely need is some sort of tool to cut the pieces off of the sprues. You can?t do it without a precision cutting tool.

EDIT: Oh and maybe a parts separator. I’m actually in the market for a good rec on one of those. Something to pry loose all the stuff if you accidentally attach two pieces together too soon. I use the flat head screwdriver to do it sometimes, but I’d be lying if I said I never stabbed myself with that thing while trying to jam a model bird’s wing apart or something
