| Cover art. Do not mistake for anything else. Nice black and white design. This kit was released somewhere around April 2010 with no promotions/announcements. It kind of just came out of nowhere. |

| The Wing Zero Custom itself in all its pearl gloss glory. I panel lined the body and the weapons. I decided to leave out the wings to keep the angelic effect that the pearl gloss finish gave. |

Close up. It's my first MG gundam so it didn't turn out as sharp as I had planned. The only thing I hated about this kit was panel lining. The glossy surface just makes it harder to keep the panel lines sharp and thin, besides that it's a great kit with awesome colors. The blue and red just pop and the pearl finish can be really nice depending on the light angle. Different Pose, notice the extra stand O.o  I actually panel lined the wings. I messed up so bad, I learned something about this. NEVER MESS WITH NAIL POLISH REMOVER ON PLASTIC!!! You don't see it as much but the wing you see here is a bit "burnt" towards the first two panel lines where the lines appear smudgy (but they're not, just reflecting). It's not as shiny as it used to be...  I used flashed so it didn't come out too nice. Anyways, about the extra stand. That's for the MG Deathscythe Hell Custom EW that should arrive at my house early March (I pre-ordered).  I actually like this picture. It's bright and you can see the details. |

| Now what is a Wing Zero Custom without it's famous buster rifle? Some people have problems posing the buster rifle, but... Yeah I have trouble posing it in this position too so I tend to keep the twin buster rifles separate. It does look mighty awesome in this pose though. Oh and look! It's my Alienware m17x in the background! Looking sexy xD |

| The beam sabers that come with the kit. They're green sabers with a pearl finish on the hilt. Personally, I keep them inside the box. I mean twin buster rifles vs beam sabers... come on (no offense to the beam saber lovers). Deliberation: This kit is an awesome kit being that it's the freakin' Wing Zero Custom and that it is a limited edition pearl finish. The Wing Zero Custom is actually what brought me to the world of Gundam. The thing I loved about it the most were its wings. Those magnificent wings. I also thought the buster rifle was pretty sick, I still puke to this day whenever I think about it. Pros: Awesome wings Cool Pearl finish Blues and Reds are vibrant Super awesomely epic buster rifle pose Inner frame is nicely colored w/ gunmetal as well as the twin buster rifles Comes with two beam sabers Comes with clear base Heero Yuy is the shiznit He comes with the kit, two of him Decals are nice, though I messed some up being my first MG Cons: Parts can be a bit more fragile than normal version due to injection The mounted machine guns on his shoulders don't open up all the way especially with his "ears" The panel lines can look a bit weird sometimes on it Grip can get really loose with extended buster rifle posing Face mask moves First MG so I screwed up the stickers, sticking them EVERYWHERE. And also being my first MG, I am not liking my panel lining too much. And another newbie problem on my part, I messed up some dry decals. The great thing about all of this? I learned everything I needed about making an MG and now I am patiently awaiting my pre-ordered MG Deathscythe Hell Custom EW which I should beast on since I've come prepared with my purchase of a tamiya modeler's side cutter as well as a clear base. I won't screw up this time with the decals and stickers, that's for sure. Until next time, hope you enjoyed my review! |
