The rail guns are definitely Freedom 2.0 though which is a 1/100 MG. Here's the RG Freedom* the rail guns don't have the stylish fins and the barrels are completely different. Also here is the RG Strike Freedom* the wings look nothing like in OP's picture where they're sleeker, sharper and better detailed than the RG's. Even the 1/100 MG Strike Freedoms* are bland and thick compared to OP's. They do however look like the Dragon Momoko 1/100 Metal Build ver Strike Freedom*
Honestly if you have model building experience I don't think you'll have much of an issue with RG kits. The only really fiddly part of most of them is the decals, so if you have any experience in that area you'll probably be okay. Personally I'm a big fan of the RG Strike Freedom, which has a really awesome set of wings and a lot of nice shiny gold parts. I also quite like the gold frame RG Amatsu Mina. It's got a very unique look, and I'm kind of a sucker for asymmetrical kits. Its decals aren't the best, as a lot of the bigger ones are really thick and chunky, but that's pretty much my only complaint with the kit.
Real grades really aren't meant to be painted (not that they can't be, they just for the most part aren't meant to be) that's part of why I recommended them all you really need to do to make them look awesome is fully remove and sand nubs and panel line them and add all the cool warning stickers, strike freedom wasn't too difficult to assemble and I think it was like my tenth kit overall and all I did to mine was a straight build out of the box with panel lining and adding the stickers I didn't even top coat the kit and it looks badass as heck (I think mine looks EPIC! :D )
The only thing with assembling real grades is to pay close attention to the instructions and take your time don't be in a rush to finish, some of the parts like the v-fin on its head can be really tiny and somewhat delicate but as long as you don't rush he'll go together fine and wasn't too hard to build though building all the dragoons for the backpack did get a little overly repetitive
Finally to do the best poses he really needs an action base because the large wings/backpack make strike freedom back heavy
oh and if you want its display to really blow people away you could also always get the optional 'wings of the skies' expansion
YOU SAID LOCALLY SO I CAN'T HELP WITH THAT, BUT MIGHT I SUGGEST THE RG STRIKE FREEDOM?
IT'S BASICALLY MG LEVEL DETAILS AT THE SAME SIZE AND PRICE AS THE SMALLER HG'S

It's even cheaper from a different seller for $23.

You could try cancelling your order if it's not too late and if you care for the $3.
EDIT: The seller I linked changed his price to $28. Apologies.
