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

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!

Great piece of Collection

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.

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.

+ 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.

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 wonderful little model kit. I mean it when I say that it’s little. This is a very compact kit, but it somehow crams in all sorts of gimmicks. It stays together quite nicely, and has a beautiful glossy top coat. It’s a fun build that doesn’t take too long, and the results are amazing with barely any effort. I highly recommend this kit to anyone who enjoys Gunpla, and especially to anyone in need of fancy model to lead all of their HG Leos!
