Off the bat, RG is a much more complex kit than HG. You should definitely get some model tools to cleanly cut and clean the pieces as you separate them from the sprue. I got one partway through completing this model and it made a world of difference.
At the time I purchased this model, it was only available as an import, but it had a good price (< $30) and free shipping so I went ahead and purchased it. I selected this RG model over the others b/c I have seen Gundam Seed Destiny and although I don't really remember anything about the anime, I did like the design of this gundam b/c it has wings and loads of weapons.
If you've never built an RG or MG gundam...the internal frames are extremely cool and allow for a huge range of motion. However, some bits of them are fragile so you need to be careful lest you accidentally break off a piece and since so much of it is movable, you may not be able to cleanly glue it back on and retain mobility.
-What do you get?
Gundam Destiny
Shield (that expands) that clips onto either forearem
Energy shields that clips onto the hand. Note you can't use this with all the hands
Blaster Gun /w scope. There is a specific hand to hold this (right) and two posable hands that (could) hold it. The specific hand has a snug fit.
2 Shoulder boomerangs? Knives? with either short or long energy sabers to fit in them. Note that although there are specific hands to hold these, the fit is very loose and they 'fall over'. I haven't tried with the posable hands b/c these are not that exciting for me. They do clip into the shoulders/fit really well and you (could) pose the model to 'grab' one out from across the chest, which is pretty cool.
Big Energy Sword that clips on the backpack. Uses same hand as the blaster gun to hold. Relatively heavy so the arm may not stay up, but long handle so you could pose some 2 handed grip, but probably nothing 'over the head' as the shoulders will pop out. I really like the Energy Sword and it's pretty impressive.
Green heavy gun that clips on the backpack. Note that the weapon holder maneuvers so that this points out from under the left arm and then there is a hand that can 'hold' the handle that folds out. It has limited maneuverability b/c it's attached to the backpack.
Backpack Wings - these have (in my opinion) pretty good maneuverability as they can tilt forward back, in and out. It's just three pieces in the wing, the bottom (static) middle (3 fins that can move a little) and top wing that folds up. note the small wing that pokes out of the big wing is part of the middle. I really like the effect you can see in the photos on amazon (one of the reasons I purchased this kit).
7 hands - 2 are closed, which can also hold the boomerangs. 2 are poseable - be careful clipping these out. I accidentally clipped my thumb off :(. 2 are static 'open' hands. 1 right hand for holding the big energy sword or blaster gun.
Tiny, tiny, tiny pilot. It's so small I'm not sure if it's worth painting or just to...have? It has a base and I don't think it fits into the cockpit, which does open, but it's hard to do so with just your hands.
'base' piece if you're mounting on an action piece (I assume so it has somewhere to fit)
The kit also comes with two more traditional 'smooth' beams, but I couldn't figure out which weapon this would go into b/c the model doesn' thave any beam saber handles that I'm aware of.
A TON of seals (stickers) and no water decals. A lot of TINY seals so you really need some pincers to help position them...maybe even two. The clear ones are pretty impressive when they go on. The seals on the back of the legs do NOT stick/stay in place nor do the little silver seals that wrap along the bottom of the top wing parts. They look impressive for a few seconds b/f they just sprint out - these parts might make sense to paint instead of using seals.
Good things:
I am really happy with the quality of the model, the complexity (took me a couple of hours), the end product, accessories, posability, and size of the model. Basically everything I wanted! I would totally buy/build this model again and it's really turned me onto the RG 1/144 gundam models and helped get me interested in gunpla/gundam again. If you've never done an RG gundam, the flexibility on the joints and range of motion is just staggering compared to the HG models I built in the 90's.
Bad/Annoying things:
The backpack weapons, although they do slide into the backpack and kind of click, fall out a lot. The big green gun is less impressive then I thought it can only really point down'ish (at least with how I"m doing it). There is a gray piece on the wrist cuff that needs to be glued in b/c it falls off whenever one is changing hands. I've mentioned the seals above where there are a number that won't stick b/c they have to bend - may be worth cutting them and applying to the specific planes for better adhesive. Don't use just any superglue since they can melt the finish on the seals and not stick to anything at all. There are 14 seals to stick to the under side of the yellow piece on each of the 7 hands. The instructions being in Japanese I could not figure out what these are for. Now that I've stuck them on, I'm not sure why b/c you never see them. the wings and backpack are relatively heavy so that does limit the sorts of poses you can do without an action base. The chest and waist parts often fall apart despite being snug.
Things of note:
This is more of a model than a toy. In my mind, toys can stand up to abuse from children and this has a ton of tiny parts and detail work that I'm not sure most children would enjoy - maybe one that's totally into models/gundams could. It's not robust and very fragile so it's not something I'd take out of the house and to build it well, you need model tools, which may not be appropriate for younger kids. It does come very detailed, especially once you add the seals, that you wouldn't 'need' to paint it unless you really wanted to.

Pros:
1. inner frame: I was so impressed my the quality of the inner frame and how it was built already. How did they even manufactured this???
2. great design and precision in the pieces: everything fits and snaps perfectly, even with such small pieces and details
3. value: 27 dollars for a kit with mg details, def worth it, looks really good on a stand
Cons:
1. The stickers are really hard to apply since they're so small, but no real issue with you have the patience
I plan to buy another RG soon, just wow!
The outer white-ish amour plastic is as brittle as glass, so don’t stress it at all.
Apart from those issues, dest is a really nice kit. Coated the beam effects with a translucent uv reactive paint, then Tanya red transparent lacquer on top. Nice.
I’d recommend beginners start with some other kit (Witch from Mercury series maybe), unless you think NightShift or Plasmo are newbs!

Se devo trovare dei difetti alcuni punti soprattutto sulle braccia sono un po molli e i movimenti risultano un po troppo cedevoli (alcuni pezzi proprio non si incastrano) e il fatto che ti dicano solo dopo il punto dove vanno applicati gli adesivi mi ha lasciato un po perplesso perché era più semplice metterli in corso d'opera però magari è anche un mio errore essendo al primo RG.
Il risultato finale è comunque impareggiabile, ottimo articolo ad un prezzo più che onesto
