Growing up, Heavyarms was my favorite Gundam in the Gundam Wing series. So, I ended up buying this MG model not too long after putting together the HG version. This was the obvious step up. All of the extra pods are posable, including the legs, chest, and shoulders. The hardest part was getting it to truly hold its huge gatling gun... I had to carefully glue the gun to its hand so the gun wouldn't fall off. The easiest weapon to install was its knife. Most of the Gundam Wing / Endless Waltz models have the same type of leg joints that can be difficult to pose, and stay posed. Just a heads up. I custom painted this one. Check out the MISSION GREEN HEAVYARMS in the builds section. It's the same one as in these pictures.

I've done three of these over the past year or so, and I've figured out that you've got to be accurate with placement and position of the small joints throughout the model. If you do that, you'll do just fine. I think the weapons supplied in the kit are pretty cool! The leg missiles are super easy to attach! I do have a gripe about the heat hawk... They are too small to really fit inside this models fist. I had to carefully balance the hawk so it would even stay. Other wise, the choice of machine guns are primo! I'm not even mad about the lack of bazookas. Three different heads to choose from too? I think that it's worth the purchase.

Pros: This model is really solid when compared to the newer EW models. The legs stay in tact, the wings attached very simply, and the end result looks awesome! I am not really a fan of lots of stickers, and I think it should not be a large deciding factor in a kit. Cons: The only cons I came across are *surprise* the hands. I have some custom MG hands on the way to make holding his rifle easier. All in all, I think it's pretty cool!
