This MS is very...uhmmm.. nostalgic for me... since it is the first Gundam series I ever watched... and also the start of my love in gunplas... :P
anyway without further ado...lets go into the review..
( I really have to apologize for the crappy pics... I think I have to practice my photography skills)
PLATES
normal numbers for your average HG.. you will have a total of 9 runners... with the usual gundam colors... white, blue, red, yellow, some gray plates for the joints, inner frame and accessories and of course the clear green for the beam effects...
PARTS:
LEGS and FEET
For the feet, it can go side to side, and the toes can go bend forward, which is necessary for for the transformation...double jointed knee... great details stickers on the knee.. you might as well paint the gray part on the knee since its inside of the knee cap...very easy to paint. The legs will be connected on a universal joint so it can do some very dynamic poses...
SKIRTS
Front skirts is in one solid piece, but can be separated.. moves up and down...the upper crotch is painted but they will provide a sticker which I didnt use. Side skirts can move up a little which will hinder the leg movement, but not that much... and the back skirts is one solid piece it has a cover for the hole which will use on its bird mode.
BODY
No stickers here except for the jewel on the chest which is a metallic green sticker covered in a clear plastic. you might also want to paint the insides of those yellow parts because its molded in blue...
theres a ball joint on the upper waist and the whole body is connected to the skirts via ball joint... for the shoulders, those white parts will be connected to the arms, and its connected in a ball joint to the body...can move forward and back like the other HG's.. double ball joints for the neck...

oh! I painted the vulcans on the shoulders gray
ARMS
No stickers here as well aside from the black triangle on the back elbow, but you will do some inking on the yellow part on the shoulders for details, shoulder armor can move up and down for transformation purposes, double jointed elbow and the yellow claws can move up and down...unfortunately for the hand, you will not get any more aside from the two holding hands..
HEAD
Stickers for the forehead camera and the eye...great details and has great articulation...it can look upward very nice... the v-fin and the red jewel can pop-out easily...so you might want to glue them... aside from that...this is the face of the popular Wing Gundam
BACK PACK
For the back pack... the wings has pretty nice articulation...can move forward and back... every wings can move independently.. so it can move pretty nice...
WEAPONS
for weapons...well not that much...
a huge shield, theres a black and green stickers for details... theres no connector but it does have a handle... whick can be held pretty well...
the shield can bend where the storage for the beam saber is located...
and of course the beam buster riffle... which has a green scope sticker...
so not plenty for weapons... but really is that not enough? thats all you really need..
BIRD MODE
Yup it can do its iconic transformation... and let me try to do the step by step process...
First.. rotate the head, shoulder armors down and take off the hands... (yes. you'll kneed to take off the hands)
Next. Bend the knee on its weird angle and toes down.
Bend the elbows and flip the yellow claws. then connect the beam riffle to the shield
Rotate the whole body, flip the wings and connect the shield...and voila... the bird mode!
its pretty nice on some angle... but when viewed in different angle... it looks like a gundam in disguise...
OVERALL
This is the Wing Gundam we all loved... it can transform, can do dynamic poses... its not sticker heavy... my minor complains are the v-fin can pop out easily (which can be fixed using a glue) and they dont give you some extra hands... they might at least give us an open hand.
But aside from that... I love this kit...I recommend this kit for the beginners... its not hard to build and will have great result...
That all for me, thanks for reading... and please look forward for my next review. :) see ya!
