Key features

Tool-Free, Snap-Fit Assembly: The kit's primary feature is its beginner-friendly design. You can build the entire model without any tools, as the parts are designed to be easily twisted off the runners by hand. This makes it an ideal first model kit for anyone new to the hobby.

Excellent Color Separation: Despite its simplicity, the model achieves a high level of color accuracy. The parts are molded in five distinct colors, which means no stickers are needed to replicate the Wing Gundam's classic look. This results in a clean, professional-looking model straight out of the box.

Good Articulation for a Simple Build: The model is not overly complex, yet it boasts solid articulation. Its joints allow for a wide range of motion in the shoulders, elbows, neck, and knees, enabling you to pose the Wing Gundam dynamically in various action poses with its included Buster Rifle and shield.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Entry Grade (EG) kit, and how is it different from a High Grade (HG) kit?

The Entry Grade line is designed to be the absolute starting point for model builders. Its main difference from a High Grade kit is its extreme simplicity. EG kits require no tools for assembly—the parts are designed to be twisted off the runner by hand. They have fewer parts and no stickers, yet they still feature great color separation and basic articulation, making them perfect for beginners or as a quick, simple build.

Can the kit transform into the Bird Mode?

No, the Entry Grade Wing Gundam is a simplified model and does not transform into Bird Mode. The design prioritizes a straightforward build process and a sturdy final product. For a transforming Wing Gundam, you would need to look for a High Grade, Real Grade, or Master Grade kit.

What weapons and accessories come with this kit?

The kit includes the Wing Gundam's essential armaments. You get the iconic Buster Rifle and a shield. These accessories are easy to attach to the model's hands, allowing you to create classic poses from the show. The focus of the kit is on the main mobile suit body itself, so it does not come with additional beam saber parts or other more complex accessories.

Is any painting required to make the model look good?

No, the Entry Grade Wing Gundam looks fantastic with just a straight build. The plastic is molded in multiple colors (white, blue, red, yellow, and black), and the parts are cleverly designed to create the iconic color scheme without any stickers or paint. This is one of the main benefits of the EG line, as it delivers a great-looking model with no extra effort.

Is this kit compatible with other 1/144 scale parts or stands?

Yes, the kit is compatible with many other 1/144 scale accessories. Its hands can hold weapons from other HG kits, and its standard peg hole on the back allows it to be mounted on a Bandai Action Base (sold separately). This makes it easy to integrate the EG Wing Gundam into an existing collection and display it in dynamic aerial poses.
