![]() ![]() ![]() It's also possible that I'm not that good at it. I guess partly because I'm a perfectionist, partly because I take it pretty slowly, and partly because I trim the sprue tags from every single part internal and external until they're perfect. I won't even say here for fear of shame how long. This kit has taken me a phenomenally long time to build. I have a progress thread on my build with pictures HERE I'm a bit concerned by the general consensus here that it can't support it's weight or strike any action poses. I didn't mention it's my first PG though, did I? About 30 locations secured by metal screws. The most impressive model in Bandais history is finally here This kit has too much to list in detail, so please be willing to settle for the highlights: 30-plus runners of parts (670 total pieces). Search on google, and you'll find many positive reviews about the kit, such as this one. The Wing Zero PG is often hailed as Bandai's 'most impressive kit', especially on Hobby Links Japan. The feathers have been a pain to panel line, but I'm finding it to be a very enjoyable build. Perfect Grade (PG) Wing Gundam Zero Custom - 1/60 Scale. Blade01 Posts: 28 Mon 7:25 pm Wel, it certainly depends on who the reviewer is. Its the fifth Perfect Grade I think, so there were a lot of old school. I actually used the left over tiny metal pin from the shoulder assembly (I think) to brace one of the springs in the battery pack that was causing a loose connection and it works flawlessly. Wing Gundam Zero Custom is one of the earlier Perfect Grades released by Bandai. Whilst it was tricky and a bit frustrating I got it working perfectly without solder. I have not had a problem with the head seam being lose as I read in another thread, nor with the connections for the battery pack. The only drawbacks I've found so far are the latex parts, but I've managed to panel line them with a little effort, and one or two armour connections leave a little to be desired. I started with MG kits so I was used to a bit of a challenge, but progressing to this is a whole new ball game. I have been finding the build very challenging and enjoyable. I got a better sense of enjoyment from building and completing the 1/60 RD Strike Freedom, which despite it having bigger wings than the wing 0, can in fact, support its own weight. The designers seemed more interest in the movement of the internals than keeping the armor attached. The design of the upper leg and armor is annoying. Now the right leg doesn't stay attached to the body. The die cast post for the right leg is slightly mis-cast, so the post is a little too big for the leg's gasket to plug into, so the gasket cracked. A front/back design would have been better. It also doesn't hold the antenna very well. It's split down the middle right/left instead of front/back, so there's always a seam down the middle, and it's very loose on mine. I recently purchased the 12" collector's edition wing custom 0, which is basically the toy equivalent of the PG wing 0, and it can support it's own weight way better than the model. It just doesn't have any kind of stability. And it's too difficult to pose the thing as shown on the box obviously. It can't support its own weight to begin with, and you have to use the wings to keep it from falling over. I was very disappointed with the results of building the model. ![]()
