Hobby - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz - #17 Wing Gundam Zero (EW) RG 1/144 Model Kit

I got this as a gift and it was a huge hit. It was the exact Gundam they’d been wanting to build and they were super excited when they opened it. The kit looks really sharp and detailed in person and the packaging was clean and intact. It showed up on time and was everything I hoped it would be for a solid gift. Would definitely grab another model from this line in the future. Was totally worth the value and perfect size for a desk toy. Being a RG this was a little more difficult for them to put together, but still was great. Colors were vibrant!

Excellent kit even for someone like me who has been out of the hobby for a long time. Be aware that there are some difficult steps in the assembly process. Most notably: head assembly and decal application to the head. However, overall this is a great kit. Would absolutely recommend a quality pair of nippers, some fine tipped forceps, and a spudger of some kind to help pull pieces apart in case of incorrect assembly. Instructions are in Japanese, but the diagrams are good enough that I was able to follow them relatively easily. Total assembly time: roughly 5 hours give or take. Hard to quit once you get going!

This kit is an absolute blast to build. The Real Grade series, being Bandai's latest and greatest model line, definitely shows how far their kits have come over the years. This model is extremely detailed, with more small parts and a more advanced inner frame skeleton than even a master grade - this is truly like having a modern perfect grade in a palm-sized 1/144th scale. Even the instruction book is freshly updated and different. This model was so much fun and looks so good I ordered the limited edition Pearl Gloss version just to relive the excitement, and a display stand (which this kit does NOT come with, unlike the master grade line).

It's a great build for a great gundam, but some of the smaller joints(like the feathers) can be very loose, the shoulders clip on rather than sliding into an actual joint so they fall off easier than other kits(especially when trying to pose around the wings), but overall it's a great model and a fun build.

I love this model, in my opinion the inner frame is meticulously detailed, enabling exceptional articulation. The smooth movement of the joints is complemented by the natural shifting of the armor plates, giving it a realistic, mechanical feel. This kit boasts multi-tone color separation, making it visually stunning even without paint. The panel lines and decals add intricate details without being overwhelming

Amazing product, high quality and fin to build

I love this kit. I owned a no grade version of this back in the early 2000's when it was airing and it was fine, but this obviously blows it out of the water. It looks great. Most of the colors are separate parts which is ideally what you want in a gunpla. The main stickers being the green in the chest, arms and eyes(which is fine). Like most real grades it comes with an extra decal sheet with a bunch of stickers, but it really is just optional if you like that look, they aren't show accurate. The possibility is great, allowing for the iconic pose where he fires his twin buster rifle at the enemies base over and over from above. I really like what they did with the wings adding "feathers" on each side of it that can move independently to really give it a dynamic feel. What you get in the box is the twin buster rifle(that can be split into 2 or combined together) 2 green beam sabers. A small 1/144th scale Hero figure(that I will never paint because my hands are way to shaky for that) and a good assortment of hands. This kit is absolutely worth the ~30$ it costs.

The RG series keeps getting better. This kit is insanely detailed, on par with master grades but in 1/144 scale. Once you add all the decals and do some work with a lining pen, it will really pop. The total build time depends on your experience, for me it was about 10 hours including lining and decals. Obviously you can take this a step further with painting, detailing, etc. It's extremely poseable, to the extent that posing it can be sort of tricky (looking at you, quadruple-jointed knees). The inner frame is great and on top of that you have panels sliding past each other giving the feeling of a real complex machine. I was concerned about the bulky wings not staying in place, but it seems they've hit the sweet spot between easily movable and staying in place. For accessories you get 4 sets of hands (fist, open, trigger, and poseable), the two big guns that can combine together, and a pair of beam sabers. You also get the teeny-tiny pilot figurine and an adapter to mount it on a peg base. Overall I think this was a great kit to put together and it looks awesome on display. Definitely worth buying.

Gundam Wing è una delle poche serie giunte fino in Italia e, sebbene rovinata da un doppiaggio atroce, ha regalato alcune immagini iconiche agli appassionati di anime giapponesi. Direttamente dall'OVA Endless Waltz, il Wing Zero Custom ė sicuramente uno dei Gundam più caratteristici, con le sue grandi ali angeliche. Il kit è di classica qualità Bandai, con pezzi ben profilati e incastri solidi. Imprescindibile tuttavia un minimo di conoscenza base sui Gunpla e gli strumenti necessari (tronchesi da modellismo e bisturi per rifiniture), nonché TANTA pazienza. La scala 1/144 implica pezzi molto piccoli e delicati, nonché microscopici adesivi che richiedono obbligatoriamente delle pinzette. Incantevole, ma non per principianti del modellismo. Pressoché obbligatorio l'acquisto di una basetta da posa (Action Base), in quanto le ali sbilanciano all'indietro il modellino.

Je suis content de mon achat le seul bémol, c'est les petits stickers transparent qui sont parfois galère à coller et faciles à perdre

Pretty cool, fun to build. I had never built any gunpla before now so this was my first, and I'm already addicted. Pretty cool kit if you like Wing Zero custom. Hands and head were kinda loose, but a bit of grey paint around the joints fixes that easily. Not too difficult to build either, just takes a bit of patience.

relatively easy to assemble, good details and mobility. The pieces of the shoes are very loose

Delivery was on time, the kit itself is fantastic, a little bit short (11.5 Centimetres), the palms joints a little bit loose on the right-hand side, the soles joints a little bit fragile (Be very careful), need a little more pen-lining and last but not least, buy a stand for beautiful poses. Thank you for the service, definitely gonna buy another from this seller.
