This is the first imitation gunpla I've ever bought. Its made by Dragon Momoko which is for all I know a Taiwan-based group. I came across this kit while browsing the local Taiwan mimics of eBay for gunpla bargains or kits not found in stores.
I never really touched a Gundam Wing kit before except building my little sister's MG Wing Zero Custom she wanted for her birthday (it was the wings that got her attention for all of one week). I don't plan on fully putting this kit together, since I bought it for its parts.
The quality of the plastic used is nearly identical to that used by Bandai. Of course, being made from a recast of an original kit, the natural defects become more exaggerated giving this kit a weird not-too-smooth surface.
The manual is quite detailed and well-made, most likely actually copied from the authentic Bandai-issued manual.
After inspecting the pieces of this kit, I think I'll keep an eye out for more Dragon Momoko copies for my future kit cannibalizing needs.
