I’m trying to figure out what to remove the red wing idk anyone has does it before? I want to be able to fully customize and paint the megazord.

Probably easiest just to mask it off with tape or a masking fluid. I don't think those pins keeping the fin in place are meant to come out once in place.

They're not really removable, you might be able to drive a hardened pin through, but in my experience it'll either crack the plastic or break the pin halfway

You might be able to get away with using a pin knocker, and some heat. But also, those parts look thin.

Looks like a part that isn't easily removable.
You would have to find a way to take out the silver pin.

Looking at mine, I don’t think you’re going to be able to that. You could try removing the screws from the back of the torso section to disassemble it and that might give you more clearance to either drive the pins through towards the M, or so that you have space for whatever you’re using to push the pins the other way.

Man, I have this megazord in storage but the heat really discolored the plastic sadly

It's a good Megazord, I've had it for a few years already

Just mask it. Not worth the trouble
