Okay, so it came very quickly. The only down-side i had was i had to order twice since a carrier (No fault of Amazon) couldnt "find" my address. But i called Amazon, and they got that cleared up and sent to me very fast. Once it came i spent an entire weekend building it. It looks gorgeous and is only for those with experience building gundams. I have built several and this presented me with a challenge or two building it. First major challenge was the wiring. it tells you certain lengths to cut then shave down to bare wire. cut exactly how much wire they tell you, with maybe 2mm extra in case you're like me and need to expose the wire multiple times for re-wiring. Pay attention to the color of the wire shown in the instructions, yes it does matter. Also, it didn't come with the batteries, but those were easily found and purchased at a local jeweler/watch shop. Also have some glue handy, as some of the snap in parts don't snap in and stay perfectly. Once it was done, i was very proud of myself. the level of detail is unreal. it's a little wing-heavy once you try to pose, so i would get a wide stand, with multiple arms if you can find it. But this is the best gundam i have ever, and well worth every penny.

I just finished with this kit and having done a few pg kits prior i know what I like and what i dont. It is a beautiful kit once it is complete all though some of the parts dont stay one quite as well as I would like but nothing the super glue trick doesnt fix. I painted mine black and gold and it is awesome. The only massive downside to this kit is the wiring. I had it working perfectly and once it was all put together somthing inside must have shifted and the chest wont light up now. being the jerk that I am I am not taking it all back apart to fix this lol. The wiring takes precision and I would not recomend this for new gundam builders. However if you can over look its small flaws it is a great addition to have.

It came fast, the day they say its coming its coming . im a huge gundam fan and this model kit is hell in detail its just breathtaking i recommendit for anyone who loves gundam . Dont buy it if you are a starter in modeling though its kind of hard to build

This kit is my perfect grade, and I must say it looks beautiful. Took me around 28 hrs to build plus another 2 for panel lining. I highly recommend you do panel line it and finish it with a clear flat coat and you won't be disappointed.

Do NOT get this.. get other perfect grade.. building this guy was hard enough already.. after finishing.. there's NO way to pose him...

First, I'd like to say.. Wing is my favorite Gundam in all of the gundam series, so for me he's a MUST have.. so I ignored people's warning about how bad he is.. and got him always...

Building was tedious, but it was fun until the I hit the backpacks section.. instruction was confusing, especially if you don't have the battery to test out the LED, and forget about changing the battery because if you do, you have to unscrews the entire back out and that will mess up the wiring + there were no space to hide it... so when building him you just had to shove the backpack and hope all the wiring fits..

The wing was horribly designed to fit onto the backpacks.. the hinge that is made to hold the wings together was SOOO terribly designed .. mine was super stiff, trying to change the wing position feels like the hinge is about to snap off, the darn hinge was too small to hold such a big piece together.. it feels like a toothpick holding the gigantic piece up..

Think about this.. the 4 wings combine will pull the body backward, means no standing pose, unless you want a zombie looking gundam... This model might be good if he has a stand... and there isn't one because he's really old..

I had mine sitting down on a shelf as a pose, and he could barely sit..

If you REALLY like Wing.. get the Master Grade version.. MG is 100x better, even the shoulder piece was better designed.. and it comes with a stand...

Conclusion.. I'm really disappointed in this Gundam.. I want to give it 1 star, but he's my favorite :)

This model is pretty cool and detailed nicely.
The wiring setup is terrible and could be much simpler and the model itself will need some kind of support to stand on its own (wings will work). A standard gundam "Action Base 1" is capable of holding it in a upright position no problem allowing you to use the wings for something other than support!
The feathers on the wings are rubber with a metallic core to allow bending of the feathers for various effects but be cautious as over bending will break the core.
My only real complaint is the red waist piece which is rubber instead of plastic. The 4 star durability rating is because this is a model, not a toy.

Bottom line, if your a Gundam Wing fan this model is a must have and well worth the money!

I love this 1/60 scale PG model, it's so cool. Althought it's a pain in a butt to built it and because i'm a begginer and my first time building this kinda model kit, it's fun. I always like gundam wing zero looks and this model kit does not dissapoint. Get this if you are a gundam collector or a gundam wing fan, you wont be dissapointed.

This product is really not for beginners. The chest and eyes light up, and both connect to the same battery back on the back of the gundam. The wiring is a bit messy, and requires precision to make sure it works. This is a beautiful kit, and once you finish it, find a pose you like and stick with the pose. The only downside of this gundam is that a lot of pieces do not really stay on the kit.
The kit comes with two sabres, and it's trademark twin rifle blaster. The wing tips are made of flexible metal coated with rubber. Fingers are individually jointed and the overall kit is very detailed.

While the pictures do look awesome, don't be mislead as to the quality of this kit. First off the wings are simply not designed well. They are too heavy to stay in any position except flopping down. Plus some of the pieces are not designed well and simply fall off, such as the smaller shoulder parts. It is in desperate need of a display stand because it can't stand up unless you use the wings for support. You could make it look amazing if you are willing to sink a lot of time into it if you are a good modeler and want to modify it. Otherwise, don't bother getting it. I would suggest the Master Grade version of this which is what this kit should have been.

While pretty to look at, the overall rating of this kit is below average. I'll list the pros and cons:

Pro:
- great design (one of the best looking gundam around imo), detailed,
- many, many parts and very fun to build,
- flexible joints, can create many poses (including some weird ones),
- 1/60 scale makes it a huge robot.

Cons:
- poor quality, not sturdy. parts keep falling off, including the joints and the wings,
- overly priced at $170
- will NOT stand on its own unless using the wings as 3rd or 4th leg!
- does not come with stand,
- don't expect to play with it when you finished building it, unless you plan on super gluing the loose pieces.

In a nutshell, this kit looks extremely pretty in the pics but irl it's pretty crappy. Don't get it unless you are a fanboy of the series and/or have too much money to burn.
