Not all kits require stickers or paint. It's very case-by-case, usually depending on the design. For example the RX-78-2 Revive needs only a sticker for the eyes and forehead camera, but the HG Barbatos (which is far more complex) needs a lot of stickers. Both kits came out near the same time as each other. And even then the Revive RX-78-2 has it's eyes sculpted in trans yellow plastic, but lacks the black lining so it looks more like a Soundwave-style visor than seperate eyes.

The Wing kits you describe are ancient. Modern day HGs actually have partial or sometimes full inner frames, and far sturdier construction with far better sculpts and parts seperation. (so less or no need for paint)

I also recommend the HGAC Wing Gundam, or the Revive RX-78-2. That'll show the difference time has made to the design of kits. The HGAC Wing Gundam is not even a very recent kit, but it's still great. Also, the Gundams in Wing were smaller than your average Gundam, so once you branch out into the UC or recent IBO kits, they'll not only seem far superior in quality, but in size. In fact, while I've only collected Wing suits in 1/100 MG, but have collected UC mostly in HG 1/144, I have some High Grades the same size or bigger as my Wing Master Grades.
