MG Gundam Wing Proto Zero XXXG-00W0 WIP01

Started on a new project and its the Wing Gundam. I bought this kit a while ago when it came out and it was a hype back than. Everyone praised its looks and its transformation ability.

I have finished the kit without the sticker as usual, and as usual I am going to paint this.

Honestly I am a bit disappointed. It is a good Master Grade kit but it just doesn't seems to deliver what the hype was about.



As usual here is the box art

Here is the manual. You know ver. Ka influence is very noticeable.


And the stickers. I really wish they woiuld have included water slides. That dry transfer is really getting annoying.

Also this kit includes a stand. Its pretty basic but I am glad they included that.


One thing I was worried about this kit was its hand. I have tried to build a previous wing kit and its hand was not able to hold its own gun. Thankfully this kit has that swapable hand with groves in the middle so it can hold its own hand.

Oh and frames are well detailed as well.

It's not just the frame. Take this part for example. that frame part with yellow and green clear piece make it look great.

And here is the finished kit without its decals. Enjoy the gallery.






























Like the other transformable kits, this kit has articulation issues here and there and weak joint issues here and there. The build is little bit annoying (Still better than other kits) for the same reason and you still have to consult the manual to figure out how to transform this damn thing. I still haven't figured out the leg part. I mean it looks like I did it correctly, but parts are not exactly locked and it wobbles so I am not sure it was the correct way. The knee joints are hard to pose as well due to the transformation part. (hip joints and ankle joints are absolutely horrible)Thankfully I didn't see any gap issues that are present in other Gundam Wing Kits. (Like the head) and I didn't see any seam line issues either.

Overall it is a great and clean looking kit and probably easiest transformable mobile suit that I have built. Its not my personal favorite though.

I am going to color it using the original color. However I think I am going to change the yellow into gold like I did with other kits.
