>>8578628Just go with the MG. EG might be cheaper, but its so easy that you can be done with it in less than 10 minutes. MG is the better value for your money
with the MG, those 40 dollars would get you a long way because there's a lot more things to do to make it look real good.
You'll only appreciate the EG if you have been building gunpla kits for many years because you'll appreciate the Bandai engineering and the way they have color separated the parts with details still intact.
