Bandai Hobby RG 1/144 #28 Tallgeese (EW) "Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" , White

+ Excellent for this grade of model, well worth the money (it was about $25 when I bought it.) + Arrived on time, in perfect condition. + It can reach a very acceptable range of poses, coming with multiple hands and mounting points for weapons + Thanks to well-chosen colored plastic segments, this requires no painting to look like it did in the anime, just a bit of panel lining for accent. Even the stickers aren't really necessary. Painting to add weathering can still add really nice accents, though. +Sturdy, much more so than many other Gundam models of the same level. A few parts are fragile due to the plastic type, but as a whole the kit is tougher than I've come to expect- not to action figure level, but you can comfortably move it many times to find your perfect pose. - The manual doesn't make certain steps as clear as you might like... You may need to experiment with some parts (the shoulder mounting joints in particular were unclear to me) to get the proper angles for following steps to work; and some parts are not represented in the diagrams in a way that makes the proper orientation apparent. This problem decreases in direct proportion to how many Gundam models you have built of this grade or above. - A few of the thinnest pieces are extremely fragile, and can bend when removing from the rails even when using nippers; when in doubt, removing via careful cuts with an exacto blade or, better yet, a file (foam-backing fingernail filing boards are great for this, and cheap as well- check your local dollar store!) can negate this.

Awesome set and love the RG quality level. I have a bunch of HG and while some are good, the RG is just fantastic. A few pieces snipped awkwardly or broke (helmet piece especially) so had to use a little glue to fix here and there!

Almost a perfect kit. Aesthetics and moving gimmicks are off the chart with this kit. With panel lines it’s basically visually perfect. Overall very solid too just a few complaints that hold it back for me: - The joint inside the torso of the unit for allowing ab-crunch was very weak for me and would barely lock. Eventually after completion it broke all together and i had to superglue the two halves of the kit back together. Now it’s very solid LOL but it doesn’t have torso movement forward/backward anymore. - The Vernier backpack pods look amazing fully opened up, but take care assembling them. The first one I made ended up a little floppy. The Crotch also has a seam line that I can’t fully close up. - The visor piece is clear plastic. It looks absolutely perfect with some blue sharpie applied before putting it in… but it would have been nice to have a blue color clear plastic visor over a shiny foil sticker. Small deal though. - The arms can’t fully extend to 180 degrees. because the entire arm internal frame is one big MS Joint piece. This is honestly not a big deal though since they’re usually using the accessories

This was my first Real Grade. I had built High Grade up until this and liked them but I didn't like that I could not find a better or newer High Grade Tallgeese. I saw this and it was only a few buck more then what I was paying for HG, so before buying it I waits and waited about 3 months then when that was up I was thinking of buying this or buying the 00QT. So I bought this one and that same day when in the GameStop and found the other one. I really enjoy the inner working of building an actual frame and then putting the armor on top highly poseable more than what you'll see ever with a high grade real great quality I have dropped it like 6 times and not a single part is broken I give it a 10 out of 10.

Great piece of Collection

Haven't built a model in 20 years. Life long Gundam fan, I took up the hobby again to construct this RG Tallgeese. About 20 hours in, loving it. Pros: very flexible, joints are sturdy and very articulated, especially the knees. Cons: gold parts from the dye cast look like garbo, lil metallic paint fixes that. Clavicle armor plate was the only real difficult piece to set. If you're reading this in mid build or about to build this piece, set the clavicle down front to back, use the little cutouts over the shoulder missiles to line up then drop the back of it into slot.

This is a very enjoyable model set to build. The assembly details are intricate and the material resembles high quality touch, and has a noticeable difference when you hold the pieces in hand. The joints are right to 1/100th of an inch with pure accuracy! Note: picture shared is not in full completion, but work in progress.

The tallgeese is a really sleek looking mobile suit and this kit does it justice, for the most part. Some of the little grooves aren't as deep as they should be for drawing inlines. Absolutely make sure you're careful with the plume when adjusting the head. the pegs on mine broke off. lucky for me i had some extra thin cement. highly recommend you keep something like that or some other kind of adhesive on hand. otherwise, be careful.

Perfect aboriginal Kit , great building experience

Ser muy preciso y tener la disposición para hacer el corte y ensamble de las piezas, la paciencia es parte importante para el detallado. Me gustó mucho que puede articularse lo que da movimiento al cuerpo.

Excelente, tanto em termos de montagem como de apresentação. Os mecanismo dos verniers nas costas são quase perfeitos, com única ressalva de que vc precisa abrir para o mecanismo mostrar as turbinas completamente. Um dos melhores real grades que eu já montei.

I might be bias as this is my favorite mobile suit from the whole franchise. But perfect kit.

Dauerte etwas, ist dann aber intakt angekommen. Sehr hochwertiger Bausatz, aber eher für Fortgeschrittene. Wenn man aber schon mal einen Gunpla zusammengebaut hat, ist es kein Problem.
