This was the first gunpla I put together, and after assembling the other Wing protagonist kits, this one definitely stands out as the most underwhelming one. As another reviewer pointed out, the color separation isn't great and there are some awkward stickers included. Even with panel lining, I can't say this kit is much to look at (and Heavyarms is my favorite Gundam!). My kit also had issues with limbs falling off while trying to pose, but this may have been due to my inexperience at the time of building it. I recommend it if you're a diehard Wing/Heavyarms fan or want to collect the five protagonist suits, but otherwise it's just underwhelming.

If you're completist and wish to collect the whole W protagonist set, this kit is a must-have. But it's also a relatively weak one among them, suffering from lackluster color separation. In particular, the blue area on the chest is a pain: it's tiny yet not flat, so the sticker doesn't work well, and it's hard to paint; it's at a very visible location, so the inaccuracy is very visible. Frankly, this kit is what made me give up the idea of collecting all five of them.

I think this one is a little disappointing in movement and variation, certainly needs some extra paint to really make this model pop. But it's nostalgic and the model feels durable enough.
