1- a pair of nippers! http://www.amazon.com/Xuron-2175-Maxi-Shear-Flush-Cutter/dp/B000IBU0YC/ref=pd_sim_328_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=31worx20hHL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1NM0NMHRY8GXVMGXPBJH You can get a good pair for 15 bucks off amazon, but chances are you might have some around the house from a tool kit, I actually use some old bigger ones, and they work just fine. Here they are: http://puu.sh/oYkry/e4484c7ddc.jpg This is to get the parts off the runners (the frames the parts go on) you CAN use a knife but you may damage the part.
2. Something to get the nubs off, either a hobby knife (you can find some for 5 bucks) or some very light grade sanding paper (but your fingernails can suffice for some)
That's it. That's all you really need to put one together, honestly. Remember to take ur time and look at the instructions carefully, the 1/100 IBO kits are great from what i hear and you got one of the coolest ones. :D IF you want to add further detail to the thing, you can look up panel lining, but i dont think it's necessary for the 1/100 IBO kits.
Flush cutters. This pair and this pair are the industry standard workhorse. Absolutely essential tools.
PanaVise clamps are a must have. This one and this one are my favorites.
A manually operated solder sucker will be an important buy as well.
If you want the real deal, they are Xuron 170-II micro-shear flush cutters.
I use these as well as and the larger 2175 set for bigger things. Note - these are only good for soft metals (copper, tin, lead) not steel. My son was nice enough to make one pair a set of wire strippers when he tried to cut some steel wire once. :-(
