I spent the majority of a night just assembling one of the wings, and applying the third party feather upgrade. The pictures below show the wing in "extended mode." Basically, the upper left and upper right portions can fold in towards the center to make the wing more compact.

Applying the upgrade took a lot of time, as this actually required glue (unlike the rest of the model). Also, despite the instructions, I had to take care of the placement so that the new feathers would not interfere with the wing's ability to fold and unfold.
The custom feathers look great! I think they'll be worth the trouble in the end. I'm about to engage in some Bandai love myself soon. Mine is less Gundam-y (this time) and more Yamato-y.
