The HG Age 1 Normal is just in your budget and is considered to have one of the best articulation. It's a good kit for beginners.

I'm gonna assume that you ONLY have that $28 and can't purchase the $35 needed for free shipping, so I'll go with a HG kit.

Fenice Rinascita most of the sellers are in Japan and might take forever to get here, but there's one I see from Canada that JUST fits your budget.

Build Burning Gundam Just makes your budget buying from Amazon with Standard Shipping.

Age-FX For this one You'd have to buy from Japan, but I think it's a good kit and an underrated suit because it's from AGE.

Star Build Strike Plavsky Wing Not technically a SEED kit. lol

Age-1 Normal I've heard nothing but good things about this kit, and it's REALLY cheap.

And Lastly I'll suggest the 0 Gundam. This version isn't very colorful, but it comes with some cool wing effect parts. But there's a colored version that's cheaper that doesn't come with the wings here.

That's an amazing kit to get for a first one. Elegant build and tons of articulation

Basically, things sold by Toy shop japan hobbyone tend to be a little cheaper with good shipping. They do have an issue with a few things that appear to not be HGs listed as HGs though.

Welcome to hobby!

First and foremost, if you've never built gunpla, or a model kit in general be sure to check the links on the side to get you started.

As for suggestions for a kit, I'd recommend getting an HG kit from your favorite series. You're bound to find your favorite suit in HG form. That being said; if you don't have one or still want suggestions I'd recommend:

  • HGBF Build Strike Gundam Full Package(or its upgrade the Star Build Strike).

  • HGCE Aile Strike Gundam(or the sisters version Strike Rouge).

  • HGAC Wing Gundam.

  • HG AGE Gundam Age-1 Normal.

  • HG 00 - 00 Gundam(or any of its variations).

    All these are excellent kits in my opinion and have pretty good parts separation so they won't need a ton of panting(except the Build Strikes...their boosters need a lot of work). They're also relatively cheap. I used amazon as a general site since they have good prices generally and are even better if you have amazon prime. But you are free to find your stuff elsewhere.

    As for completion times from start to finish? Its hard to say since everyone builds at different paces and touch ups can range from just panel lining + stickers, to panel lining+painting all the details instead of stickers and painting those details not covered by stickers at all + topcoat. In my case a High Grade, assuming it doesn't need a ton of painting, will run me 6-7 hours. But I'll panel line line, omit the stickers and paint everything I can, then top coat. So I'd say be prepared to take at least 3-4 hours depending on your building pace and nub management. Add 1 or 2 hours for detailing.

    Hope this helps.
