The gates are minimized so that even beginners can pull the parts off without nippers...
Gate marks will still be left behind, so cleaning them up is definitely recommended.
That said, the gates are much easier to clean up compared to the size of the parts.

The box size is on par with a PG or an ¥8,000-class MG.

it's better to separate and clean the parts individually before assembling if you can.
Still, it's a nice touch for maximizing ease of assembly for casual builders.

Despite the parts layout feeling like it's aimed at casual builders...
the decals are oddly waterslide decals of all things;;
