Gunpla Custom Build : Wing Gundam 01 by @northern_modeler

The Wing Gundam 01, customized by Gunpla Builder ノーザンモデラー, showcases unique modifications and added details. 

Northern_Modeler attempted to rework the unfortunate hero machine in their own distinctive fashion. Has the original flashy coloring been transformed into something extraordinary? Northern_Modeler has chosen to assemble it in a color scheme reminiscent of weaponry.

They have altered the proportions of various components and introduced ailerons to the legs. Each camera lens has been faithfully replicated using HIQPARTS circular metallic green seals. Furthermore, the chest duct has been replaced with Hasegawa modeling mesh, featuring a hexagonal pattern.

The suspension system has been reinforced, giving it the appearance of wings ready to take flight. The Vernier thrusters have been replaced with HIQPARTS STD thrusters [12.0mm] for added realism.

Northern_Modeler has also meticulously painted the hero. The bird mode has been restructured to resemble an aircraft, complete with vertical wings and ailerons transplanted from the HG Fenice model. Neodymium has been added to the ankle guards to ensure flawless alignment during transformations. Unfortunately, Northern_Modeler decided against extracting the nails and adjusting the head due to concerns about the durability of the paint.

The original chest's round shape didn't quite align with the vision, prompting Northern_Modeler to craft a solid silhouette using plastic. Metal parts have also replaced the Vulcans, enhancing the overall level of detail.

To address the perceived thinness and fragility of the thighs, Northern_Modeler increased their width by 2 mm. Vertical wings and ailerons from the HG Fenice were skillfully transplanted to complete the look.

Lastly, here is the color recipe that Northern_Modeler employed for this remarkable custom build.
