First of all, it is too old. Compared to later Perfect Grades designed more recently where Bandai really upped their game in design, engineering complexity and detail, this kit no longer lives up to the modern Perfect Grade standard. It's more of just a very large oversized High Grade that is Perfect Grade in size only. That was the Perfect Grade standard in the early 2000s when it first was released, but not anymore in the 2020s. Gunpla technology has come a long way and this does not keep up. Second, it could really use a stand. It does not come with one like the new Perfect Grade models do. And the wings are so top heavy that it falls over a lot and is impossible to pose. I had to go buy a third party stand in the 1/60 scale, which was not designed to mount this model that even with the stand I in the end had to resort to tying a string around its waste hold it up. The best I could ever do with this kit was make it stand up straight. But action poses, especially for photographing it for this site, was always out of question. It cannot maintain a pose at all. It's just pretty and cool to look at. And third, the circuitry for the LED is impossible to configure. I wound up having to cheat and reconfigure it using my own wires and parts from Evan Designs just to compensate for the kit's poor design, which in the end resulted in me having to super glue the battery box shut just to get it tight enough for the mattery to connect to the registry. Which means this is one time use only. Soon as my battery burns out, that's it, I wont be able to replace it. I know one of the perks and joys of Perfect Grades is the opportunity to get to (with Bandai's guidance) perform you own electrical work. Which the implementation in the Perfect Grade Strike worked flawlessly. But the electrical design for and its parts in the Perfect Grade Zero is just flawed that doesn't even complete the circuit. But despite its lack in standards, it is still a cool kit that looks great and I am still glad I built it and can add it to my collection.

the build is AWFUL, theres like 150 screws and they all have the risk of stripping (thankfully didnt happen with this kit but it’s happened with my mg shining gundam), has some ugly seam lines, and is just generally bad in terms of engineering, even for the time (its worse than the old mg) you’re better off with a different old pg like the zaku, or ANY OTHER wing zero custom (i personally recommend the original mg, but the ver ka is good as well) avoid this kit at all costs it made my hands hurt

I went into this knowing that people complained about how hard the build is. The screws were definitely a surprise after building a PG Unicorn and the LED wiring probably needs to be soldered to properly have connection. The lack of decals is very disappointing but there are some from Delpi out there and the lack of a stand sucks too. past the flaws I enjoyed the kit

It’s a shame how poor the quality is for this PG. while I understand that it’s older, I still expected some level of quality that I’ve grown used to over my time building, but with forcing pieces together fearing that they’d break to having to shave down pieces and even use a heat gun to get them to fit, this kit is a disgrace to the WZC. It looks awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

This is definitely an older kit and it shows from the not-so-stellar fits of a few armor pieces and the lack of some finer panel details. Like the previous review, I was very frustrated by the wiring and considered even giving up on the lighting when I had to open it up several times while testing through the build. Eventually I got it to stay working with some caveats. Despite the issues I have, I'm still so amazed and happy at the massive size of the wings. If you're a Wing fan, it's a great addition to your collection.
