(Wing Unit 1) Review

What's in the box (sprues and other parts)


OPS17-A, B [White]

OPS-17B (x2) [White]

All four sprues are labeled "30MM Option Part Set 17 (オプションパーツセット17)" and these are newly tooled sprues for this kit.


Detailed Parts Review


Backpack section for the Wing Unit has standard spaced two 3mm pegs, so it can be attached to most of the 30MM kits and some HG Gunplas.


Each wing consists of wing itself, root section and joint section for backpack. Joint sections - pictured top right and bottom left - have c-clip joint so that the wing can swivel up and down. Other attachment points are simple 3mm peg-hole joint so the wing can also swivel front to back at those points. Each wing also has 4 individually articulated "feather" pieces which can swivel on there axis.


Standard configuration makes backpack with standard dual 3mm pegs.

You can also remove the backpack and the joint section and use simple adaptor piece make a simpler configuration of the wing unit.

Simpler version only 3mm peg so that it can be attached to 30MS or some 30MM units.


Instruction also suggests support fighter configuration, which omits one of the root part and use a single root section for fuselage.

Standard configuration can directly attach to back of most 30MM kits with dual 3mm holes.

In standard configuration, joint section enables the wing to swivel up and down.


Individual section can also swivel front and back so you can make interesting poses.


Many recent HG Gunplas also use standardized dual 3mm holes so you can use the wing unit on those kits also.


For some 30MM kits and 30MS sisters you can use alternative configuration which has a single 3mm peg for connection. However you'll lose the joint sections which means you'll also lose up and down articulation. If you want to retain the articulation, you can use joint adapters included in 30MS kits which converts single 3mm hole to standard dual 3mm holes. (Unfortunately Acerby kits doesn't come with the adapter so I used her for alternative configuration example.)
