MG Wing Gundam Zero.

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, October 30, 2004 11:18 PM

Just received my copy of the new Bandai 1/100 MG Wing Gundam Zero.

Only popped the box open to extract the Instruction sheet so far, but it looks like a very nice kit.
Also like the stand so that the kit can be posed in action.

Also got the PG version of the same Kit, but that one just needs too much space.

More to follow.

Ok, here are the first impressions of the kit after perusing the Instructions & te sprues.

Typical bandai MG quality(with no screws), Robot is fairly simply cockpit opens, shoulder cannon can also open, etc. Usual supplement of stickers(yuck), decals and dry-transfers.

The wings itself look nice and some sections are moveable, the individual feathers at the bottom of the wing are cast in some form of rubber and are flexible(no metal center core as in the PG version though).

The display stand is nice and has 2 settings.

Pics of a finished kit can be seen here(typical pro-finished and photos enhanced as usual)

All in all not a bad kit for the price, and should make a nice build.

Better get one I predict they will soon be sold out, or you can still get the old 1/100 Kit of it.

Would like to see more MG kits from Endless Waltz like a Nataku, etc.
OTOH, why is Bandai not lsitening to me and doing a MG Zaku-Tank. Angry [:(!]

I have MG Wing Gundam ver Ka and am thinking to get Custom. In your opinion, are there any major differences? Thanks! Big Smile [:D]

Sorry, haven't build the ver Ka yet, so can't give an opinion on the diff.

I like it due to the more compact size, detail of course is less than the PG Kit.

Also some details/areas like with all the MG kits look a bit clunky, but the kit seems to go together smoothly.

Hey Model Museum, do the instructions for Wing Zero come with a paint list for GSI/Ceros colors ie Mr. Color? Just currious.

Yes, they do.
I think all the japanese kits besides Tamiya refer to the GSI Colors.

You can either buy the Gundam cokor sets specific to your kit or you will need to mix a few colors.

Thanks for the welcome MM! I asked about the color chart because if you happen to have any older Bandai kits such as The first issue EVA LM-HG kits, they do not have the colors referenced to any of the Japanese paint vendors. I have been around for a long time but, just now decided to post to the forum. Recently I got hooked on SEED and bought a LOT of kits. Glad to hear the Wing Zero is a great kit!

This is the MG Gundam Wing Zero (Endless Waltz version) that's available.

Company is based in Singapore and there've been some people who complained abt online sites from SG that sell bootleg version and not the originals. I've ordered 2 kits myself, will see if things turn out okay. If it is, they'll be getting quite a bit of business from me... :D

Why don't you order from Japan direct?? There are 2 great sites with superb service.
1.) Hobby Link Japan
2.) Rainbow 10

Doubt that the guys in Singapore can beat their prices. Wink [;)]

Thanks, the price is great although shipping is a killer for me.

Some of the items on sale in the site I mentioned do match their prices when inclusive of shipping. Anyway, it's an alternative no harm keeping my options open. :)
