Bandai Hobby HGAC Wing Gundam Zero Model Kit (1/144 Scale)

Very good kit, fun to fiddle around with and pose once assembled. Begging to be panel lined and has a couple details that might require painting, though the stickers do a good job for most of the color separation. The transformation is very unlikely to have a part come off in the process unless you want it to come off. The articulation for a high grade is pretty good, though the fact that it needs to have separate feet for the bird mode transformation is kind of a minor (and I do mean minor) letdown.More annoying however is the fact that it doesn't have a place on the body to store the beam saber hilts when not in use... So I had him "lend" the spare to Heavyarms for a bit.As you can see, the saber beams and the chest censor glow under UV light so that's a cool gimmick.

A lot of this is speaking from nostalgia but wow what a great kit! Man I remember the first time I watched Gundam Wing back when I was a kid on Toonami, and boy did that blow my mind! Never before did I see a cartoon like Gundam Wing before and that series is what started my crazy passion for collecting Gundam model kits.As a kid back in the early 2,000s I collected most of the Gundam Wing kits that were available at my local Wal Mart, and I gota that they were for the most part garbage. It is that reason that it just blows my mind to see how far Bandai has come with their HG line of model kits, and the HG Proto Zero is a great example of that. I purchased the kit for 18 dollars and just like the other all Gundam project kits, you get your bang for your buck. The kit is a transformable model and just like the Wing Gundam is very easy to transform and looks great in its bird mode. The kit comes with the iconic double buster rifles that does separate, two beam swords, and shield. The kit like most modern day kits is very flexible and therefore able to achieve a wide range of posses. Another plus withe this kit is the color separation, glad to see Bandai didn't cheap out in us by replacing colored parts with stickers. The kit just looks fantastic out of the box, the only thing I recommend you do is use a lining marker to line to line the kit up. Really makes your kit pop.All in all a fantastic kit for the price I would ideally give it a 4.5 out 5, but since that option isn't available on Amazon I just rounded that up to a five. My only gripe with the kit)and it might just be with mine) is that the arms fall off quite easily. However I used a tinny bit of glue on the arm ball joints, just to make it sticky and now the arms stay on just fine. Just get the kit you won't be sorry! Especially if your a Gundam Wing fan!

This model is really special it acts as two models in one. You have the option to either assemble in it's normal mobile suit or into a fighter plane. I prefer in its normal mobile suit form it looks really good and I do enjoy its color scheme. This model took me awhile to assemble but it has very easy to follow instructions, the size of this model is small but it's size makes it very easy to display in shelves or desks. I would recommended this model to people who enjoy this type of hobby.

Its just all around perfect, not a single thing wrong with it, other than the fact that I pulled a piece off a runner and it snapped but that was my own fault.for being so cheap it’s an amazing kit, no problems building, all features from show are there and all poses are possible, easy enough transformations

Kudos to you Bandai, and your genius.I won't lie, I was a little apprehensive when buying this as it has... Well, WINGS, and if you've ever built a Gundam with wings you know it can sometimes be the death of the kit. However I think everyone will be pleased when I say, this Kit is near perfect much like its Nataku counterpart.Articulation=From the get-go the head is capable of looking up around 120 degrees, and down just the same, allowing it for more head movement than most Kits.The torso has an ab-crunch which does also work better than most Kits, but still is not the most. The shoulders have a special ButterFly joint which allows it to come out and have the kit be able to... TOUCH THE OTHER SHOULDER! Something not very much seen in Kits of this scale, while also allowing for an almost 180 bend in the elbow, great hand motion, as well as the shoulder pads opening up in order to reveal Thrusters within them!The legs are able to move forward just under 90 degrees, an almost perfect 180 knee-bend for that Knee-To-Chest action. The feet have a decent enough swivel, while uniquely the back panel of the calves can open up to allow for the foot to point down more(and this function also comes with the transformation).The wings, well they have some weight to them, but not enough to bog down the Kit, and can move just about every-which-way ya want them to, making for some pretty nice poses from this Kit.Transformation=As you might expect, this Kit is a bit of a Parts-Former, but only truly to the point of you needing to swap the feet out in order to get them into Bird Mode. The rest of the transformation simply requires you swiveling and twisting some parts around.Accessories=2X Buster Rifles2X Beam Sabres1X Shield2X Bird Mode FeetPosing=The posing is great. The Kit actually does not have all that much weight to it, even with the wings. The only complaint I have is that the shield can be slightly cumbersome, and make it a little difficult to pose, however despite this, it is a great Kit.Verdict=From the build to the poses, you'll be pleased. The colors are great, the build is great, the kit is great, posing. Great. IF you are a fan of this Gundam, there is no reason to not get this Kit.
