Heero Yuy's Wing Gundam in its Endless Waltz form, in MG 1/100
The XXXG-01W Wing Gundam is Heero Yuy's mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, and this Master Grade kit is the EW version, the Endless Waltz look designed by Hajime Katoki. Bandai's own page for the EW kit lists a March 2011 release. It transforms into bird mode and carries a long buster rifle, shield and beam saber.
It suits Gundam Wing fans, MG collectors who like a classic transformable kit, and anyone who wants the Endless Waltz Wing in the box colours.
Build difficulty
Bandai rates it 15 and over. It has over 260 pieces on 13 runners plus polycaps, everything moulded in colour and snap-fit, with no paint needed. A reviewer who built the same mould noted a lot of decals and stickers, which is where first-timers tend to slip. Treat it as an intermediate Master Grade, with nippers, a hobby knife and fine sanding sticks.
Technical highlights
This EW version adds Action Base compatible parts for posing, and the markings are a new design by Hajime Katoki. Compared with the earlier Ver.Ka release, the colour shades differ slightly and there are fewer markings. The wings fold back and the kit converts to bird mode. The colour scheme is white, blue, red and yellow.

What to watch for
This kit is described as the same mould as the earlier Ver.Ka release apart from colour shades and markings, so these notes come from a review of the Ver.Ka kit.
-
Heavy buster rifle: the reviewer found the rifle heavy enough to sag and needing two hands.
-
Loose arms: that reviewer's arms slowly sagged when carrying the rifle or shield out straight.
-
Elbow clearance and kneeling: the shoulder pads partly block elbow bend, and the foot design makes kneeling difficult.
-
Lots of decals: the reviewer found the number of decals and stickers a lot for a first MG.
Builder tips: take your time with the decals, and test how the rifle sits before posing.
