The trick with the hands for the double buster rifle pose is that you leave out the other half of the holding hands on both sides since its going to be covered by the connection under the rifles so it doesn't look like half hands at all.
Pretty cool. If you would've had it, a comparison of the RG to the old HGFA (Fighting Action) kit would've been really cool to see. (You want short, those were absolutely TINY for HGs!!)
I've only built three RG kits so far (and a dozen HGs growing up in the 90s) so maybe I shouldn't be saying anything, but this kit, RG Wing Gundam Zero EW, was one of the most frustrating builds I've ever had. Everything is so fragile, I broke the left knee joint twice, they were broken in a way that it was not able to get super glued. Had to order the joint online just so I could move on. Once everything was assembled, the connector for the left primary wing snapped, when I tried to re-position the kit, I was being extremely gentle, having had the knee joint snapped earlier. It was so frustrating. without the backpack, the mobile suit itself looks so skinny and frail that I want to feed it a sandwich, but man is it majestic with the wings. I don't even touch it now because frankly I am afraid lol. Now it just sits majestically on the shelve, collecting dust.
I grew up watching gundam wing, and when I first saw ew I was kind of turned off by this redesign; it didn't fit my image of the series. That said, with me getting into model building on my own, and watching build fighters and build fighters try, I've really started to get into different aethetics for models, and have grown to appreciate this version again. Probably going to pick this up, thanks! :)
@@Bahamut8937 The old one was HG Fighting Action (all those old Endless Waltz kits were: the five Gundams, the Tallgeese III, and the Serpent Custom). Not sure if the Tallgeese III & Serpent Custom followed suit, but the gimmick of the line for the five Gundams was an extra torso in some sort of ab crunch or other exaggerated pose to make certain poses possible or more believable. (Ex.: Wing ZERO's extra torso was an ab crunch posed torso that better facilitated the infamous blasting the bunker pose, Deathscythe-Hell had a stretched out one for holding the beam scythe above his head, etc.)
The key to the legs crossed posed is the have one knee slightly bent and that foot pulled back just a little bit. Then you cross, and boom, lovely pose. Keeping the legs both straight like that will never achieve the vibe you’re going for.
A wonderful kit, the only minor issues with mine is the bicep armor keeps falling off and the hinge that connects to the large wings is very loose. would have loved a ratcheting type joint instead.
I just got ahold of one of these and am slowly working through building it. I'd really like you to do a review of the two expansion kits for it (Seraphim and Drei) as I'm debating on grabbing them
+Lakshya Sharma I have that kit, but it's already in the middle of being kind of modified, so I can't do an out-of-box review. When the kit is done I'll show it though.
Early RG suffers the loose joints, but since this kit is in the middle, I would say is a yes or no, I'm getting this kit and some other HG, from what I hear is that this kit is actually good and no problem of the stuff like no loose but there is some say that their kit have a loose backpack and some ankle pivot
@@imsilverahuman4108 yes I literally just finished building the kit a couple minutes ago. And I havent really had any issues. I glued every piece that doesnt move
hello from the future , i just built mine, and it has two parts that arent marked x but are left over.(D25)i only on found one google result on a now dead site i think, or the page isnt working right, but it's also just a question on where it goes, but is left un answered.
Honestly this is probably the best looking full release Wing Zero, but the Ver Ka will definitely change that! Also, how has this kit held up for you as this review was made a while ago.
I’m trying to find more precise instructions to put the stickers on mine, the instructions included only shows how to put them all in one pic but it’s risky
+Igneos Kai I did review the RG Trans-Am Raiser. This kit will stand slightly smaller than the average Gundam, but with those big wings it's not going to look much smaller.
Is anyone else having an issue with the rear skirt armor, I got the right side on no problem but the left side won’t snap together and I can’t figure it out for the life of me
I think I said that in the final review for it, but if I remember correctly the red was a mix of Scarlet and regular Red, and the blue was ... wasssssss I forget. lol, sorry. just check out that video again!
16:27 I may not have an Action base 2 but I DO have a MG astray Red frame Kai How is that relevant? Because The MG Astray Red Frame Kai's sword (the really big one) includes a stand to hold it, because of which it's extra long compared to HG stands On top of this that very same stand includes an Adapter that can be used for Real Grades and I can use THAT to connect the kit (I Apologize for the Exposition)
@@B3rrymon the shape of the connector seems like it doesn't connect properly into the back of the gundam - Im also having this trouble and have to use the back wings as support
Hello ZakuAurelius.. I am one of your big fans youtube channel. Your channel was awesome! It's educated and entertaining.. I love it. I have plan to buy MG but I confused which one should I buy..between MG Providence or MG Unicorn Ova version.. Can you give me suggestions? Because you never review about MG Unicorn Ova version before.. anyway thank you so much!..
+ZakuAurelius so I have an old 1991 hg physalis that I need to paint since it's mostly grey. I should prime all of it and then buy the paint that I need and topcoat?
+ZakuAurelius oh i see that ok but that anyway by the way i am one of your fan about your review and gunpla buindings almost the time i watch your customize gunpla i am thankful that you reply to my message
so you can actually hold the buster rifle in both hands but there's a trick to it and they don't explain it in the instructions. you have to take the fingers off one of the holding hands. i.imgur.com/iQp3MoA.jpg also the knees bend the way they do because of the bird mode transformation.
The knees bend that way for the Wing Zero's Atmospheric Re-Entry Mode as well. It's a shame that they didn't add the Wing Shield from the Proto Zero for the Neo-Bird Mode for the Wing Zero Custom that was introduced in Glory of the Losers. Then again, from the design of the Glory of the Losers Wing Zero Custom, I think that this RG came first because the Glory of the Losers version has the armour detail of the RG Wing Zero while the Glory of the Losers Wing Gundam has the same amount of detail as the Master Grade Wing EW as opposed to the RG Wing EW. At least the Wing Zero Custom's Neo-Bird Mode is recognized in the Hi-Resolution Model version.
by the way my friends in here philippines always asking me this question very time because they are a big fan about the Gundam Wing Ew Series they ask me is there a chance that bandai release a complete set of RG of gundam EW series bec. now here in the philippines EW HG 1/1144 scale more collectable right now. And my friends always like the RG Scale more than the MG scale bec. it more cheap than the MG scale and they also they like the size of the RG so they always bothering me of that question hope you can help me sir and i am one your biggest fan on your gunpla buildings
+ZakuAurelius oh i see one last question sir what is the next line up RG gundam model kits this year if you know sir almost i love the RG models specially the Strike Freedom is my one caught on my eyes
oh i see is there any chance you will review the Master Grade Altron EW bec. that what i want to buy i like to know if my money worth it to buy Altron bec. is it Exclusive bandai hard to think about it
RG needs to do Epyon just like this. The Master Grade Epyon is trash. RG has great engineering when it comes to models. If RG Designs the Epyon similar to this Endless Waltz Wing Zero it’ll be amazing.
Just got this at the hobby lobby for 40% off, I can’t wait to build it!
Same, I'm quite happy with it
Same just got it today lol pretty funny
Nice, guys 👍. I had issues with the wings backpack I had to jam a small piece of paper towel in between to firmly secure it
Same LOL
Yo me too. This will be my third total kit put together. I'm so excited

I had the same experience lol. I broke my antenna and one of the wings so when I finished it I just put it back in the box

This guy with the beam saber is really gorgeous!
Thanks for the review!
+Thiago Monteiro I think so, too!
2018 and still watching this... thanks for the review :)
Ha 2020 still watching this
Lol Evan Wong same
Can't wait to have all 5 EW (hopefully not P-Bandai) RG kits to pose together. Also, do you know if the clear pieces glow under UV light?
+Max Wu I didn't check, sorry! But I'm pretty sure they will not.
I hope Bandai makes a HGAC Wing Gundam Zero Custom.
Spee9dy there is but its an old kit probably rare this days if youre in the philippines you will see alot of hg wing zero customs
That's the really old kit, though so it might be fun to have an update version of wing zero custom :)
@@ponkiesioson5129 thats why he said "HGAC" not just hg.

I'm thinking of getting my first RG kit. Would this kit be a good first?
Yeah sure!
Yeah sure!
+ZakuAurelius Thanks!
As for me I went with the 00 raiser. Planning to get the rg unicorn next.
Well Pls For all Gunpla fans dont buy a bootleg Gunpla is very very difrent and getting so bad :(
Hi Zack, great review! I've a quick question for you. Which action base are you using for your RG wing zero?
+Chester Pan Kotobukiya Flying Base R
Thanks!
I just got ahold of one of these and am slowly working through building it.
I'd really like you to do a review of the two expansion kits for it (Seraphim and Drei) as I'm debating on grabbing them
Is this kit ideal for those who want to jump from hg to rg or for beginners?
yeah it's pretty straightforward build
I wanna buy Zero and regular version as well for my first RG
I really hope we get some sort of option set for the rg tallgeese that repurposes these wings to convert it into the fluegel
Be careful with the back wings because they have a limit on how much you can bend them so if you feel resistance stop or you will snap the wings
+Zakuaurelius
first of all I love your review and also will you be doing a review on the RG freedom gundam from the seed series ?
+Lakshya Sharma I have that kit, but it's already in the middle of being kind of modified, so I can't do an out-of-box review. When the kit is done I'll show it though.
the most beautiful gundam i am already ordering it
Hey, how this kit rn? Is it age well? I consider to buy but thinking about most of RGs loosen up fastly after time kinda disappoint me.
Early RG suffers the loose joints, but since this kit is in the middle, I would say is a yes or no, I'm getting this kit and some other HG, from what I hear is that this kit is actually good and no problem of the stuff like no loose but there is some say that their kit have a loose backpack and some ankle pivot
Is there any way to mod the rg in order to be stable but also playable at the same time?
I think gluing everything that can be glued will fix some things
@@imsilverahuman4108 yes I literally just finished building the kit a couple minutes ago. And I havent really had any issues. I glued every piece that doesnt move
Js asking because im going to get this kit soon is it worth getting?
hello from the future , i just built mine, and it has two parts that arent marked x but are left over.(D25)i only on found one google result on a now dead site i think, or the page isnt working right, but it's also just a question on where it goes, but is left un answered.
Hi zack awesome review of an awesome kit and just for curiosity did you already give to someone the decals because if not could I have them
+Nguyen Khoanam Already did!
which one do you recommend, RG or MG Wing Gundam Zero EW?
Rg
if it's the ver ka then definitely mg
I know which get I'm going to get next. I've always wanted one but I never got around to watching the reviews on this guy.
Nice, so far i have built mostly RGs. and 3 HGs. i think i choose the Rx78-2 (Origin) for my first MG. Dope videos sir. keep em coming...
+Byron Rodriguez Thanks! The MG Origin Gundam is an awesome kit!
Which method did you use for painting the MG Wing? Just regular brush or air-brush? What kind of blue color did you use?
Yeah, airbrush. I went over the colors in the WIP video.
Are they ever gonna make the other 4 Gundams from EW for the real grade line?
Deathscythe possibly? The others I wouldn’t hold my breath
Is the sholder paddings very loose??
How's the kit now over time
why my rg wing zero is loose in part of wing, can you help me please how to fix this
Engkurt Kobain topcoat the loose part
Is this one of those pre-built frame RGs or the newer, better RGs?
Parts of the frame are pre-molded together. You can see in the unboxing video
@@ZakuAurelius Has it loosened like other pre-built frames?
@@erc3338 i think no, it has a good pre-built frame :)
@@mnadhifirfanghani7c738 But don't all prebuilt RG's end up bad over time?
@@erc3338 no, the bad one is the early rg's one. This kit is kinda on the middle

I’m trying to find more precise instructions to put the stickers on mine, the instructions included only shows how to put them all in one pic but it’s risky
How in the world do you paint on those micro figures?!?!? When I opened up my RG 00 Raiser, I could not understand how people paint them
+Munchell360 very carefully!
Use a toothpick or a really really fine tip brush
they usually have the tool kits right next to all gundams
i wanna know how tall is this kit cuz i heard its a bit smaller compared to other kits? and do u have a review for rg 00 raiser? thanks:)
+Igneos Kai I did review the RG Trans-Am Raiser. This kit will stand slightly smaller than the average Gundam, but with those big wings it's not going to look much smaller.
would u say it’s better than the mg version
Permanent Marker for the clear parts 👌
i always wonder where do you put the gun when not in use? does it not have any place to put on the kit?
+Xaosz Szaver in the show it's stored in the wings but all of the Wing Zero model kits can't do that.
Is anyone else having an issue with the rear skirt armor, I got the right side on no problem but the left side won’t snap together and I can’t figure it out for the life of me
what paint color (red,blue) exactly did u use on the MG wing gundam zero custom?
I think I said that in the final review for it, but if I remember correctly the red was a mix of Scarlet and regular Red, and the blue was ... wasssssss I forget. lol, sorry. just check out that video again!
Hi zack
Can you give me advice and/or some manual to do resin kit? I want to buy one but this be my first kit
I need advice
+иван объедков Sorry, I don't have any experience working with resin!
16:27
I may not have an Action base 2 but I DO have a MG astray Red frame Kai
How is that relevant?
Because The MG Astray Red Frame Kai's sword (the really big one) includes a stand to hold it, because of which it's extra long compared to HG stands On top of this
that very same stand includes an Adapter that can be used for Real Grades
and I can use THAT to connect the kit
(I Apologize for the Exposition)
Weird, on mine the backpack comes of easily.
Just build mine and I have to agree! Kept wondering if there was a part missing to connect to the back but there seems to be none?
@@B3rrymon the shape of the connector seems like it doesn't connect properly into the back of the gundam - Im also having this trouble and have to use the back wings as support
I think ima get this gundam
Whats better the Wing zero EW RG or The Wing zero RG ver ka?
There’s no Ver.Ka in the RG line. But any version of the Wing RG is gonna be solid
@@ZakuAurelius oops sorry. I probably mean the proto zero. Can you recommend me any wing zero with 1/144 scale is the best?
Hello ZakuAurelius.. I am one of your big fans youtube channel. Your channel was awesome! It's educated and entertaining.. I love it. I have plan to buy MG but I confused which one should I buy..between MG Providence or MG Unicorn Ova version.. Can you give me suggestions? Because you never review about MG Unicorn Ova version before.. anyway thank you so much!..
what is good between rg ang mg?
I built the thing and didn't even realise it had an opening cockpit
what do you prefer the HG or RG?
For this kit or in general?
Hey man, Just wondering, how much yen?
2500 MSRP
What base are you using in this?
Kotobukiya flying base
You are a really good reviewer!
P.S I am getting mine soon.😄😄😄
Why is my wing which have Feathers keep falling
Backpack and wing fall off too often with mine 😕
Same
I only want to paint the yellow parts golden what should I do!!!
Shadman Shafin buy a can of primer, gold paint, and topcoat. And some alligator clips to hold the parts while spraying.
+ZakuAurelius so I have an old 1991 hg physalis that I need to paint since it's mostly grey. I should prime all of it and then buy the paint that I need and topcoat?
How fragile is it? So loose?
i really like your reviews Zack ,they are really complete (Y),and one little question, are you planning on doing a review on the MG Freedom 2.0?
+Crisoki I will probably be getting that, yes!
Thanks for this video. I finally made up my mind ^_^
I lost the eye sticker im so sad do you know where I can buy it
The Anime Fan lost the eye sticker to OO raiser rg 😂
Use marker?
Yeah buy marker
do have a review for seraphim feather for RG Gundam Wing Zero
+Ryan Balmaceda No, sorry. Not interested in buying that.

Any hobby shop that sells gundams should have stands but you can probably get one on Amazon, USAGundam, or Newtype
Amazing
does it come with a stand?
Sugar Jesus no.
ZakuAurelius ah, were did you buy yours?
Sugar Jesus check amazon or hlj
No bird mode???
Wing ZEROCustom doesn't even *have* Bird Mode/Neo Bird Mode.
I lost one of the pieces in the ankle and I’m so upset
Is this guy still worth it?
Absolutely!
What is the name of the stand?

oh i see is there any chance you will review the Master Grade Altron EW bec. that what i want to buy i like to know if my money worth it to buy Altron bec. is it Exclusive bandai hard to think about it
+Ryan Balmaceda I bought that kit, but it's still with my friend in Japan. When he sends it to me I'll try to get a review out as soon as I can.
Mine comes off so easily the wings are trash on mine
RG needs to do Epyon just like this. The Master Grade Epyon is trash. RG has great engineering when it comes to models. If RG Designs the Epyon similar to this Endless Waltz Wing Zero it’ll be amazing.
This aged very well
For some reason I was super disappointed in this kit and I can't really figure out why lol
Any idea now? It’s been in my backlog for a bit and I was planning on starting on it next after I do these dry transfers on my hyaku shiki
I dont get why rgs include a figure of the pilot.. 1/100 scale pilots are small to paint why bother a 1/144. :o
They kind of just do it because they can. The whole point of the RG line is to show off how tiny and detailed they can make gunpla.
i dunno it seems pointless on a scale that small.
It kind of is, but believe it or not I've actually seen people paint those 1/144 pilots. I don't know how they did it, but it's possible.
wow. Painting gunpla takes time then there's the pilot figures.
+Mark Mejia I've painted a few of them. It's kinda fun!
heads only looks down upon enemy’s as usual
Where is the shield?
The wings ARE the shield. This is the redesigned version from the movie Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, not quite like the Gundam Wing TV series.
It's kinda boring without panel lines
No U
I don't like the blue of the MG. Prefer the darker ova movie accurate blue of thr RG.
glaz be like 6:00
