My advice is look for a good craft knife, one that feels comforable to hold. Pushing the boat out a little with the knife is advised, as it's the most versatile tool you'll use for modelling.
Got me a X-Acto knife myself, pretty good they are.

The other tools which is stuff like

Sprue cutters
Tweezers
Pliers
Razor and Micro Saws
Abrasives

Personally I think theres no need to really spend the extra on tools like the Tamiya brand when cheaper tools can do the job just as well.
Altho saying that Tamiya masking tape and paints are some of the best you'll get.

Pretty sure if you google "best tools for gunpla" you'll find something.
