Wing Gundam Zero in SD form, with wings that fold out and weapons that fit your HG kits
This is the SD Gundam EX-Standard Wing Gundam Zero (kit number 018), the TV series version of Heero Yuy's Gundam Wing machine, released by Bandai in September 2021. Bandai describes it as a completely new sculpt for the SD EX-Standard line. It carries the Twin Buster Rifle, beam saber and shield, and the backpack wings can be deployed. It is a small, quick kit with a big silhouette.
Build difficulty
Skill Level 1. Bandai rates the kit for ages 8 and up, and retail listings state that no cement or paint is needed. Parts can be twisted off the runners by hand, though one Japanese reviewer found a single cut per gate with nippers easier. The main time cost is the foil seal sheet, which covers a lot of the colour detail. It suits a first SD kit or an evening of sticker work.
Technical highlights
- Polycap joints throughout the body. One builder found the joints firm and the kit stable standing with the wings fitted.
- Backpack wings hinge open and swing out, roughly 90 degrees according to one review.
- Twin Buster Rifle, beam saber and shield all sit securely in the hand parts, so weapons stay put when you pose.
- Moulded in white, blue and red, with a yellow antenna. Foil seals handle the torso, wings and weapon colours.
What makes this kit special
-
Brand new sculpt: Bandai's own product text calls it a completely new design for the SD EX-Standard line.
-
Weapons and wings fit 1/144 HG kits: Bandai states the weapons can be held by 1/144 scale HG kits and the backpack wings can be fitted to HG models. One reviewer tested the backpack on an HGUC and Entry Grade RX-78-2.
-
Combine the weapons: shield, rifle and backpack can be joined for an original weapon setup that is not from the anime.
-
TV series design: this is the standard Wing Gundam Zero. The Endless Waltz (EW) version is a separate kit in the same line.

What to watch for
Drawing on a Japanese builder blog, a review site and customer reviews for this specific kit (the Endless Waltz version has its own, separate feedback):
- The foil seal sheet is a big part of the build. Reviewers repeatedly flag the amount of seal work, and one found the sealing took longer than the assembly. Without the seals the kit is only roughly colour separated, for example a white shield and a one-colour blue rifle.
- Some reviewers noted hollowed-out backs on the legs, shoulders, hands and rifle, which are visible if you look from behind.
- The Twin Buster Rifle is a single piece, so it cannot be split into separate guns.
- One reviewer noted visible sink marks, and another found that the weapons are heavy enough to strain the wrists if you put them on an HG kit.
- Leg splits are limited because the waist armour gets in the way, per one Japanese review. Upper-body poses are where it shines.
Build notes
No cement needed. A hobby knife is optional for tidying gate marks, and tweezers help a lot with the foil seals. Some detail areas such as the shoulder and wing inner panels need paint if you want them to match the anime closely, but it is not required. Suitable for ages 8 and up per Bandai.
