HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Wing Zero Custom is a mobile suit that is very special to me. The original Master Grade kit from 2004 was a gift from my wife (then girlfriend) many moons ago, so to see it get a full overhaul 16 years later makes me a very happy man. It's also gundarium tier. Le't check it out!

Everywhere I go...
I see his face
This kit is pretty affordable I bought 2 the first week it came out lol
But it’s only 60 bucks? I spent 84 on a master grade sinanju. So this one was way cheaper so I think it’s not that much.
Fun fact: you can make the kit self destruct by 100 layers of top coat and setting it on fire
This is a reference to one of his older vids when he put 100 layers of top coat and set the old wing zero custom on fire

Kick the baby
Is that a endless waltz reference?
Mission accepted
Owff

I'm glad someone else understands the "others will never notice, but you'll know. You'll always know" concept.
Man this looks more like an RG than the actual RG does. The color separation and detail is so good.
The RG still carries the wing BP flaw but this one doesnt.
At first Glance i thought it was an RG because of how surface details it has.. But its A new MG
wow you answer my question mate! at first i saw this kinda look like..🤔 yah an RG thats dope!
You can tell that Bandai REALLY wanted to make a new Wing Zero EW kit for awhile with this. The angel of death never looked cooler than this! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is what MGs should look like. MGs should be the same level if not more detailed than RG, Bandai really fucking over 1/100 scale collectors
Wallet: "Locked onto the target."
Nah it the reverse, bandai have your wallet locked on
Shots it’s last bullet “bang” now u have an empty wallet
60 at hobbylink japan i think
And I am dead
Gunpla: your budget is secure is it???
Me: of course it is! See for yourself how powerless you are!!
Gunpla: roger that.
Me: gasp.
so anyone around here realized that this is originally a Katoki design that got a Version Katoki treatment? it's double the "Katoki-fication" lol.
Wait a katoki design getting the katoki treatment? Well, this is a well deserved katoki redesign.
The Unicorn Gundam and the Banshee were both originallydesigned by Katoki and were given the Ver. Ka. treatment
@@titan133760 does that count as Katoki flexing himself? lol.
I must admit, I didn’t give a damn when this was announced but this blew me away. I’m definitely getting this.
Especially with "Where's G-Self reeeeeeee"
Same. I still would have preferred the ver ka to be something else like the Zeta, but this definitely surpassed my expectations. I'm not really even a fan of Wing, but I'll probably be picking this up at some point
U just needed a review from Mecha Gaikotsu
Same, I wasn’t planning on getting it cause I’m not a big fan of wing but after seeing it I had to grab it.
@@ArchusKanzaki same
Jesus this new version looks so good! Shame that it only showed up once, and immediately blows up
lol is that what happened in the anime? I've never seen it, that is a shame.
@@suiton01 also limited screen time on the OVA but it was pretty badass on his last shot.
That's summarise how bandai promote the Gundam lineup 😅
But in the new comic, Glory of Losers, it appeared more, it replaced anime Wing Zero (which they called Proto Zero)
It was a shame all the main suits didn't have much screen time. At least wing zero had a fancy reveal
The little blue chest piece isn't loose on my kit.The instructions say to "tightly fit the parts as far as they will go" so I shoved them in solid before assembling the rest and closing it up! Hope that helps other people.
All the orphans mining Gandarium for newtypes and we still like Zeon.
I used to call wing zero the “feather loosing” gundam because of the Mg, looks like it has redeemed itself
Yep, the old MG I have has the rubber feather break apart after a few years. I have a friend who made resin parts to mold the parts from resin. its not perfect but its much better.
If you look in the instructions, there is a colour guide you can use in case you want to paint this kit. Specifically, if you don't want to use the foil stickers on the clear parts because you think they look cheap, then try painting the back of them metallic silver (or, chrome) first, and then use a mix of 50% clear paint, 35% clear green, and 15% clear blue, to paint the front of them. The paint is transparent, and if you didn't use too much, it should let enough light in to reflect off of the silver paint behind it to create a "glowing" effect.
Mah dude. He made a little mistake. Stickers should go UNDER clear parts. I almost made that mistake myself during the build. It looks good. Trust me.
Someone need to count how much he says “absolutely” lmao
And how many times I start a sentence with ‘so’ or ‘honestly’.
I spend a lot of time trying to cut them out while editing 😑
Absolutely
@@MechaGaikotsu bro I love your videos I was playing dw I love like and share the vids on my fb. And of course a subsciber
@@jchsheishfjsk5052 i think most people who commented in the comments are subscribers
@@jchsheishfjsk5052 Wait. DW Gundam?
Gundam Wing is the series that made me fall in love with Gundam.
I’m glad this kit turned out to be a masterpiece.
Dude don't tell me about it gundam wing was what led me to the path of Anime.
@@xI2eveRsaL for me it was DBZ that got me into Anime. But Wing was the second series that I saw. It certified me that Anime was worth it.
@@gamerkingdom1442 haha yeah I'ma be frank toonami Jesus I'm old now haha.
@@xI2eveRsaL ...... tell me about it......😅
I can agree this kit is amazing, I definitely want to get it after watching this video! I just don't think that this is Gundarium Tier IMO, this seems like a Platinum Tier kit. It didn't really bring new things to the Grade, it's just Wing Zero brought up to the new current standards. I think that he's got some nostalgia bias coming into play here, but maybe it's just me.
EDIT: ok I got the kit in my hands finally, this is some seriously impressive shit so far and I've only built the chest. I can agree that this is something insanely good, better than what we've been getting as of late.
Funny that this kit is sorta special to you Mecha;
2 years ago I was going through a really rough patch in my personal life. I decided to start building again to keep my mind busy and on a whim I decided to get the Proto-Zero. As I was working on it my father passed away about a week before Christmas.
Kinda ironic that the Zero Custom gets a Ver Ka release 2 years later at at the same time of the year. So needless to say I'm waiting on mine to arrive this week lol.
Maybe you can dedicate the build to your father!
Gunpla has gotten me through some of my hardest times. In can be extremely meditative, draw you in and take your mind off things for a while.
Enjoy the build! 😃
@@MechaGaikotsu Absolutely it does, one of many reasons I love the hobby.
As for you?
You keep up the damn fine work there sir, your a beacon in the Gunpla Community! 😃
@@Heavy_Metal_GunplaI lost my mom and I never knew her I was also blind so I can sorta relate I won't have any memory though ever and I don't talk about my dad much
I just started building mine and just like yours the god damn vents won’t stay in. Already glued them in place so I don’t lose them
Lmfaooo mine too just a few min ago
Just in time for Christmas. How appropriate for Endless Waltz's most iconic MS.
Exactly. I build one kit a month and this just seemed perfect.
Endless waltz did happen on Christmas after all.
I remember people was hating on this saying “oh another wing” but there is no denying how glorious this masterpiece is 😇
For the loose chest part, open up the top half of the chest and insert that loose piece from above. it will be a lot more secured if done that way.
This kit's head and body frame are super tight, so tight that I had to sand down some of the connecting points to make it fit perfectly.
Also highly recommend picking up panel lining liquid as well when you get this kit. The wings definitely need some grey panel lines to make the details pop
What is "panel lining liquid"?
@@pretzel1313 liquid used for panel lining
@@pretzel1313 the name is panel line accent colour by Tamiya. It’s an enamel based paint and you can wipe away the excessive paint with a qtip and lighter fluid.
@@GromitTheLegend Boooo!
@@ronaldming22 It works really well but it can cause the plastic to become brittle as it is solvent based. I had a small part crumble on me. Use with care.
I've just finished building this kit today, and yes that vent keeps falling out for me too! I've glued it in! I love this kit!!!
This looks beautiful I wish my wallet wasn’t empty also don’t even dare 100 top coat this
xD
hahahaha
@TheCastoria flashman
@TheCastoria they both look very similar
just found out your channel. instantly buying this for my first kit after viewing your review and duuuude its really awesome 😮. it is a beautiful kit.
and i dont get any problem with the pose. everything tight and perfect.
thanks so much dude
20:28
God: Let me give you a hand.
...TAKE MY LIKE AND LEAVE
8:53 for the first time, a Master Grade looking better than a Real Grade
Very.Ka at 2020 tech. YES
Freedom 2.0 and Justice look way way better than their RG versions :D
You know that it's always been that way right?
I still prefer some mg's looks over the rg. Such as the sazabi. The extra layers of a good mg just appeal a bit more to me
Yea this 1 has more detailing n more better color texture then the original n the wings look so cool
14:48 I think it’s kinda cool how the wings move a bit, like as if it was moving naturally
It’s trying to fly
😂@@winggundamzero1040
the RG looks like a classic kit now despite being released in 2014. The MG Ver. Ka has really outclassed the RG version in every way.
The chest vent on mine was also loose at first, but once you try to push it in hard enough in the right way, it will just stay in there.
My brother and I both got this amazing kit. Same problem with chest vent. We both used the tamiya extra thin cement to hold it in place 🤪
Just push til it "click". I almost broke the element. It need a lot of force. I was afraid I break the damn thing.
Just finished mine and god I’m so happy I feel like a kid again watching endless waltz for the first time I absolutely love it
Dang the leg bend looks saucy, the shape just flows beautifully
i cannot wait to get this kit. Wing has a special place in my heart, both being my first Gundam series and what got me into Gunpla because of my older brother. My first kit was the NG 1/144 sandrock.
I just did this build. That same vent on mine was alil loose also. This is my very first master grade n first-time airbrushing a kit. Thanks for the video
The posed pilot figures has always been one of the reasons I’ve loved real grades. My favorite is the Setsuna from Exia (I think, otherwise Quanta) where he’s leaning. Haven’t painted Trieze from the RG Tallgeese 2 but that posed pilot figure is pretty cool too. Glad they started doing it for MGs as well
The MG Dynames has a posed figure of Lockon too.
@@muisverriet Good cus got one on the way whenever my MG Wing ships lol
Damn I wish the RG Wing Zero has a shield to make the Neo Bird mode.
uses the same frame as the other one. so it kinda does
@@changye9604 Yeah but as I said, without a shield, it's not the same
I wish the pg did
This is overall amazing! Nonetheless the detail and effort you put into this mg gundam is just spectacular! I'm happy for you to do these gundam videos! It makes me know what to get and how good it looks!
I just finished the 2004 version and man it was an awesome model to build, it was my very first gunpla model to get me introduced and man It has become my new hobby. Currently waiting anxiously for this model and the RG nu gundam and man my hands can’t wait to build em
"I see a white reflection." This is actually my favorite mobile suit, and wow bandai did well.
I have the RG of this kit, the buster rifle storage alone makes me really want it lol
I have the rg too. It's a fucking hand grenade.
@wurstbrotmitbutter *Cough*RG Zeta*Cough*
The RG hasn't hand grenaded on me yet, it's been pretty solid so far.
I got the rg when it first released and been fiddling with it a lot over the years, it's still very solid exept for a hand socket that is very loose at this point. I might have to tighten it the next time I change his pose.
@Mecha Gaikotsu dude, been watching your videos since I got back into building Gunpla early on this year, and your reviews have yet to not entertain, although this one was a major plus, because I was lucky enough to find a copy of this particular kit at my local hobby shop for $70, about a week or so after you made this video. In other words, you made it a no brainer of a purchase, although I haven't started on it yet. Looking forward to working on it soon, though! I'll let you know if I have that same problem you had once mine's done.
The angle of the dropped leg can be an advantage. Finally I can live my dream of doing ballet with the wing zero custom.
Even though I already own a Metal Composite version of Wing zero, this version is also way too beautiful that I just had to buy it...
I must say, Bandai did an awesome job with this kit. Definately was worth the wait.
Tip: Don't bother connecting the second hand, just flip one handle up and use the forarm connection. Only using one hand always works on my original Zero, and you bet I'll test it on my Ver. Ka but I'm pretty sure it should work.
The LED kit that you can pick up for this makes it looks absolutely gorgeous.
I have the rg nu gundam coming in the mail, hopefully today. After watching this, I ordered this kit. Wing Zero Custom is my favorite gundam, so I can't wait for it. Thanks for the great review.
That waist joint scares me man, I've broken them on my Justice and just went ahead and replaced the ones on my Freedom
Now this...
This puts a smile on my face.
I got that kit on my birthday two weeks ago and I love it.
Plus wing is one of my favorites
I have this kit, and I also had to glue in those little vent parts too. Also I painted up all the clear parts on this with a metallic green Gundam marker. Also you can get the iconic bunker shot pose to work, just don’t plug the twins into the arms, and it’ll work.
I never understood why Wing 0 EW's knee armor never seem to be made to connect with the lower leg. I guess it's part of the transformation, but still kind of a shame bcs this kit's separating leg armor is so cool.
holy shit this was made so quickly im glad its here now
Just now building this kit and honestly can’t wait to see it once it’s done!
The chest vent on mine clips perfectly. Thanks for the heads up buddy!
Im getting mine this Tuesday....verry exited
I'm getting mine in thursday along with the fazz ver ka
Im kinda jealous with you guys
@@danieldante320 yea me too
Rip wallet
Your profile pic makes me uncomfortable
That little thing on the chest is loose, you're not alone
Finally got mine and all the parts ready. In assembly phase now. I’m building a “DIY Snow White prelude” and it’s transformation is supported by over 100 2x1mm magnets. I had the same problem with my chest vents. I solved the gun issue. First: 8 2x1mm magnets make the gun flush, and I used an RG ball and socket(from the waist of RG wing zero) to allow the gun handle to splay just a little bit so both pointer fingers on the manipulators don’t touch. I hope to finish it this year. YT video coming soon.
I had the same issue with that right part of the chest. Kept falling out. But fear not! There is a point where you can push it in enough til it ‘clicks’. Stopped falling out since then 👍🏻
This is kinda making me wish that Bandai updates the RG with the aesthetic and features of the Ver. Ka.
16:11 There's one thing that the MG Master Gundam can do that this guy can't
Kinda funny seeing this 3 years later as the Wing Zero EW Ver.Ka was my first MG build. And yes. I had the same problem with that exact vent not wanting to stay in. Loved the kit though. And it was also thanks to your videos I took my first steps into Panel lining as well
just got past that chest vent part, no problems here but wow what a special build, just like you the old shiny wing zero custom ew hi res one was my first one too and it got me hooked on gunpla!
I've been waiting for my preorder for more than a month now in HLJ. 😂😂😂
But how can the wings gracefully flap if they have guns strapped underneath them
I've watched this review about 10 times over the past month. Can't wait for mine to show up!
Usually with the twin buster rifle I find it easiest to keep one of the handles folded up and just position the hand to look like it’s holding it in the hand, that way the hands aren’t conflicting with one another
Now i know how hero got his buster rifle at the end of endless waltz, i was like, wait how the hell did he get that since he was using the beam saber fighting wu fei.
Getting mine this Friday woohoo
What's your Instagram name dude?
Heyooo!!! Couple months late on this. New builder here btw!! I’m in the process of making this exact model’s chest n I found the solution for the front chest vents. The piece actually needs to be placed from above, sliding onto the grooves inside the frame. If you push it in from the front, you won’t be able to “push as far as it goes,” like the instructions say. Literally was working on that section 5 min ago so first hand experience, hope this helps the newbies like mee!!
I am so glad I got a preorder in for this beautiful beast.
I like how mecha gaikotsu can't pose Wing Zero with the buster rifles attached. lol
He would of been able to if he did miss an important pieces to the model...
Whats the step
Just me: I prefer the clear parts over stickers.
Yea the stickers catch the light and htey actually shine!
and if you have paint you can just paint it green!
and if you have green leds then you can just use the clear part
without the sticker!
I think it's the best option :D
but sadly the buster rifles dont have those
@@Searae Yea that was a bit of an oversight, you could still drill a small hole behind it and fit a green led but I would've liked a clear plastic piece on the front :(
BTW Nice avatar lol reminds me of that cam girl that does cosplays xD
@@Zeriel00 me too.. i always prefer clear parts over those cam/sensors/eyes
and yeah, a random pic off of google and i do believe it is quite based on her - if it is belle delphine that you meant
@@Searae Haha yea that's the one! There's also another girl that does the same face and does cosplay and porn called Tweetney.
Did you order the Wing Zero? I can't wait for mine! I think it was perfect to release on Christmas like the movie but I only wish it came with the Beam Rifle attachments like the Manga! :)
I'm applying the water slides as i'm watching this. One extra thing I'd like to comment on is the water slides are much thicker than those we had in the previous Ver. Ka kits. The last one I built was FAZZ, and they were so easily torn. These new ones are awesome!
So so so much glue with the HiRes Wing Zero Custom. It was my second build ever after a HG grand dad. Ended up gluing down the neck "collar" both "ears" and the v-fin.
LAST IMPRESSION IS BETTER THAN WHITE REFLECTION!!!
QUESTION: Is it sturdy like a Zaku II or is it a house of cards like the Crossbones?
Most likely zaku ll durable not like a house of cards unlike mg victory ver. Ka. Or crossbone bee. Ka.
been waiting and waiting for your review before deciding to buy this or not! thanks =)
Such an awesome looking kit. Wanted to pre-order it but I feel like im not to ready for master grade kits quite yet.
Just curious, when shaken the joint holding the wings looks like they will break... or will it not?
They will if you are not careful, some Chinese gunpla RUclipsr break theirs during filming
@@leocwteck4267 where can I find it?
Yeah both mine broke thankfully it's not a hard fix with just some cement.
RUclips: 23 minute video?
That's 6 ads for each of y'all
Meanwhile adblock is laughing out loud around the corner
I just built this, and I'm impressed. Probably my favorite MG
Finally a wing zero custom model kit where they explain where the Gundam got the twin buster rifle from which finally answers the questions of some people who saw the Endless Waltz movie and OVA.
Man, I was okay with not getting this until this review. Why you gotta hate on my wallet like that, Gaikotsu?
"Is your wallet secure?"
"Of course it is! See for yourself how powerless you are, Hajime Kato--"
"Roger that."
[shockedpikachuface]
Man I really wish mine wasn’t STUCK ON A BOAT IN LA! Love the review!
This thing has proportions closest to the Fix Figuration Metal Composite out of everything else, a definite win. That thing is GORGEOUS.
If you want to dobthe the final pose perfectly, just use one rifle hand for the combined twin buster rifle and use the open hands for the other handle
Edit: You can use the tab for the second rifle
Edit: On 11:47 you can rotate the bicep swivel inwards
But i still want to know
Can the kit self destruct?
So I just finished my own build of this kit and I am in LOVE!!! The detail, the build, everything is beautiful. I will say I was a bit bummed when I found out the chest piece had the same issue as yours. But wasn’t a hard fix.
I am curious to know though if you had any problems with joints being nerve wrackingly tight or loose wrist armor parts.
Had the same issue with the little chest piece, I was about to glue it but I decided to disassemble the torso and try to give it one more chance, luckily it stayed on there, you just have to put the little piece first and push it as far as it can go before putting the part above
I haven't build mine, still trying to figure out which color to paint those clear parts.
Maybe a chrome and then a clear green or maybe use the greem gundam marker and paint it using that
@@cupitaiyoob I kinda want to try that blueish green color they did in the promotion pictures, it is absolutely beautiful
I would do emerald green to be more accurate to the anime.
@@austinhall6002 what I want to make is something similar to GFFMC one, that one's color is beautiful
@@tonyy.8852 oh okay that actually sounds like a good idea.
Being as tall as original gundam?
This is sad : (
Huh weird
EY the old 2004 kit was my very first kit as well! So you can guess how ecstatic I was for this beauty of an ms to get the update it needed.
Honestly, even though it looks cheap in that form, I think a clear [green-leaning] Cyan would be cool looking too for the green parts.
Ah, one of America's favorite Gundams.
Indonesia to
12:40 Having built this myself now, i notice you put the beam rifle attachment arms on the shield on backwards.the peg is supposed to be facing the inner shield when rotated in; this helps keep the head cover in place and there are cutouts for the pegs to rest in.
yup, my right chest vent was also loose. dabbed some topcoat onto the pegs and it fit fine after drying!
Looks at the title: WHITE *REFELECTION* !
Bruh
Immediately clicked when the notification popped up 😤
Dang i love this! Hope I can get my hands on a kit soon.
Amazing! i love Gundam Wing; wish they would continue the story.
