Your best bet is to delete this and post it again on r/Gunpla. They have an incredibly friendly community and they'd love to help you choose a good model to start with, as well as give you some recommendations on beginner tools.
For a more immediate answerm there are three MG versions of the Wing The TV version, the EW Version, the EW Zero Version, and the Proto Zero. The Wing Zero EW is an older kit, but does have the angel-style wings if you're looking for those, and my personal preference is the Wing EW.
Also, while there's certainly nothing wrong with starting with an MG, I highly recommend with either the HG Wing, or the HG Wing Zero. They're both really modern HG's that look great out of the box, and are cheaper too.
At the end of the day, you should definitely check out r/Gunpla for any further questions, or even just to check out some builds you're interested in.
It's the 1/100 mg wing proto zero. Here's a link to it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EOEB908/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4i.GzbG3RFN3G
Nice build. I have this in my backlog as well as the effect part set for it. Hopefully will get to it one day.
As for kit recommendations.
If going HG recommend the HG Revive RX 78-2 (amzn.com/B00WW4F8YA).
Very newcomer friendly. Also good if you wanna start panel lining. Articulation is also great and you can do many awesome poses.
As for MG, the RX 78-2 (Origin) (amzn.com/B014SCW9DQ) or Wing Proto Zero (amzn.com/B00EOEB908) are nice kits as straight builds. Although you can practice panel lining with those as well.
But feel free to branch out. Gunpla is freedom.
The IBO line is also good, both the HG's and NG's (No MG's exist for IBO as of yet).
There was a fairly recent release of a High Grade Wing Gundam Zero kit, but it looks like he prefers MGs... I think there are a few variations of the Wing Gundam kit, such as the Proto Version, Wing Gundam(EW), Wing Zero(EW). or if you want to be the best friend ever there is the Perfect Grade Wing Gundam.
If he is a fan of the Gundam Wing series, it is worth considering Deathscyth, Deathscythe Hell, or Sandrock, which are other 'protagonist' mobile suits that fight sort-of along side the Wing Gundam.
There is also Epyon and Tallgeese, two 'bad guy' mobile suits from the same series.
If he is a fan of the original Gundam series, the RX-78 or a Zaku kit(there are many variations) would be good as well.
Also, be careful buying on Amazon if you want it to be delivered by the 10th (or shortly after). Quite a few of the sellers with good prices are based in Japan so it can take upwards of a month or more for the item to arrive if you buy it from them. It can be easy to miss that information if you're not paying attention.
Wing Gundam Proto Zero. Always wanted one of these, but they're too expensive and I'm too busy :(
