I dont like the feather/booster packs on most of the wing zero models though. (the proto zero kit is FING AMAZING though). I also had heard many problems about the older kits. This kit has been done and redone many times over. These new pics basically show that there isnt too much stylized changes from the original vers, so I'm hoping for an enhanced internal structure.
as the Post title says, I'm cautiously optimistic.
PS - Still waiting for a Space Taurus suit model kit Bandai!
THANK YOU

The kit itself is an amazing one, fixing every issue that plagued the original kit back from 2004, securing the buster rifles more securely, great colors that honestly need no painting and tight, secure connections of the wings, legs, etc.
If you do paint it, pay careful attention to the backpack section where the wings connect to the ball joint and pegs into the back. I learned the hard way that if you paint those, the connections will be so tight that you could snap them quite easily so I'd suggest not painting that section. It's not a bash against the kit because honestly, it is perfect out of the box, easy to build and looks great.

First off, the assembly process deserves applause. Contrary to the complex and intricate builds that are often synonymous with Master Grade models, this kit boasts an unexpectedly straightforward construction. This accessible build brings a pleasant surprise, making it ideal for beginners while not being overly simplistic for the seasoned hobbyist. It has just the right balance of complexity and clarity, ensuring that builders of all experience levels can relish the process. It's a refreshing divergence from the norm, redefining what we can expect from a Ver.Ka model.
Even though the build may be described as 'easy', it doesn't lack the innovative aspect that keeps us intrigued. The MG Wing Gundam Zero EW (Ver.Ka) introduces several novel engineering concepts that make the assembly process engaging and distinctive. Assembling the model gives you a sense of satisfaction as each part fits into place with precision and cohesion, a testament to Bandai's continuing commitment to high standards.
Aesthetically, the MG Wing Gundam Zero EW (Ver.Ka) does not disappoint. In line with its Endless Waltz heritage, the Gundam stands proud with its angelic wings and sleek bodywork. This kit embodies the 'Zero' aesthetic exquisitely, bringing a sense of dynamism and elegance that can brighten up any display cabinet. Its sharp lines, combined with the high attention to detail, culminate in a mobile suit that looks as though it has just leapt off the screen.
However, it's important to note that the model isn't without its shortcomings. While it provides an enjoyable build and a striking finished product, it may not satisfy those looking for an extensive challenge or more intricate details that other Ver.Ka models might offer.
All things considered, the MG Wing Gundam Zero EW (Ver.Ka) is a well-rounded model kit that strikes a harmonious balance between build complexity and aesthetic appeal. It does a commendable job of translating the spirit of the anime into a tangible 3D form, ensuring that fans of the series, or even just of mecha design, will find joy in this assembly. Whether you're looking for an entry point into the MG line or another grand addition to your collection, this kit proves to be a solid choice.
