Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Tallgeese III
Posted by Draco82520 on Friday, June 10, 2016 1:45 AM

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 1/100 scale Tallgeese III from the Ban Dai HG Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz series. The kit is the 1997 edition. I don't know how to read Japanese, but I am trying to find out what the exact colors are for the Tallgeese III, because I know that I need to do some painting for the kit in order to make it look correct.

What brand of paint are they referring to? And the mixing ratios for the correct color? Is there an FS Standard number equivalent?

Any help would be great!

Thanks!!!

Draco, wish I could help. I have a 1/144 gundam at work that i am fiddling with, I don't think it has any paint call outs as it is molded in color. I ended up mixing up my own paint and eyeballing it. I hope you post pics I like the Tallgeese.

Thank you Nuc for the reply.

I agree that it shouldn't need paint, as I didn't need it for doing: Nataku, Wing Zero, Sandrock, Deathscythe Hell or Heavyarms. But the way that they have the Tallgeese III molded you have to paint him. His feet, mid torso, and shoulders where the armor connects are all molded in like med grey, while they are supposed to be white. The chest vents are molded in yellow, which would be fine if I was building Tallgeese or Tallgeese II,  but Tallgeese III's vents are supposed to be blue. The shield for III is molded in a dark grey almost black while the it supposed to be white and blue. 

The one thing that I liked about the kit was that it gave you all the parts to build at least one of the three versions of Tallgeese.

Sounds like your doing all the major players for endless waltz. It's nice bandai gives you options for all three Tallgeese variants. Wish I could have been more help. There is a gundam paint marker set that may have the colors needed on amazon. Description says you can also extract the paint to hand brush if you like.

I am just missing the Serpent suit, and then I will have all of the Endless Waltz kits. As soon as I can figure out how to upload pictures, I will upload pictures of the five that I have done. I will check out Amazon.

IIRC the colors refer to the licensed gundam paint markers line.  I have always used Tamiya acrylics on them.  The best source for figuring out paint colors is to watch the series, or check google images for the Tallgeese.  I usuaully never paint in the "correct" scheme, and tend to use military paint shades for jus about anything that isnt white or black.
