Features

The core of the set consists of two pairs of "wings," molded in translucent plastic of two different colors: light blue and light pink. This duality allows for recreating the different operational states of the Minovsky Drive, from standard propulsion to maximum power emission. The molding of the parts includes fine radial lines that simulate the expulsion of Minovsky particles, adding dynamism to the effect.

Unlike other similar effects in the HG line, these wings do not feature additional finishes like gradient paint or iridescent treatments. The parts attach firmly to the Minovsky Drive units of the HGUC V2 kits. The set also includes a dedicated display stand, molded in a translucent smoke-black color. This stand is essential for mounting the V2 Gundam in aerial poses, as the weight and size of the wings unbalance the model's center of gravity, preventing it from standing on its own.

Technology and Background: The Wings of Light

The "Wings of Light" are the visible manifestation of the revolutionary Minovsky Drive system. This propulsion system uses Minovsky particles as propellant, allowing for theoretical acceleration approaching the speed of light. The wings are, in fact, a byproduct of the system: a massive leak of surplus energy from the reactor, released in the form of plasma. The pilot's skill allows this energy leak to be controlled and weaponized, either as a kilometer-sized beam saber or as a nearly impenetrable shield, solidifying the wings as a functional and essential component of the Gundam's arsenal.
