![]() ![]() The whole model has this “pulled back” look which I like since it adds to the effect of the action pose. As with the HG model, the MG also retains a long neck but slightly less noticeable. The way the legs are designed and styled seems like it’s better suited for “feminine” poses (which I find true). The model can pose elegantly but nothing drastic. As expected, it’s also a back-heavy model but the wings will be able to support it so its okay. A quirk is that the Search Orb on its chest is a foil sticker instead of a gem like the HG model and it looks a bit cheap with the clear plastic in front of it.Īs for the completed model itself, you will probably want to put more effort into cleaning off the spots that were connected to the runners because they are an eye-sore in plain sight (you can even see them in the pictures). I didn’t do it because I think all the grey lines would make the wings look weird and I wanted the “pure/angelic” look so I left it plain white. Panel lining the wings is a matter of taste preference in this model. It’s a really a great design of engineering. The angel wing assembly is nothing hard either just follow the lines properly and you won’t end up with wrong overlapping or sliding pieces as that is what the entire assembly is based on. This Gundam is particularly slender and small in every dimension, making this a small model overall without the wings. Nothing particularly difficult to take note of. The highlight of this model is the angel wings assembly and everything else is easy MG inside-to-outside work. I bought this model to replace my aging HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero Custom Special Operations Type. Dream came true in 2004 but not as perfect as I’ve thought it would be. This gimmick was first implemented in the Hi-Resolution Model XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW that was released in 2017, before being introduced in the aforementioned manga.Back when there was only the HG 1/100 Wing Gundam models, I’ve always wished for a MG version. The transformation to Neo Bird Mode of this model is not present in the MS from the OVA, but was introduced later in the manga.Reprints from mid-2022 will feature an additional Bandai Namco logo label.Exercise caution while trimming off the sitting Heero Yuy figurine from the runner: It's slightly distanced thin limbs can snap off if not done carefully. ![]() If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent and the softer parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals.
