Building the MG 1/100 Gundam Epyon EW Ver.

The Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Epyon EW Ver. is aimed at experienced builders who enjoy complex assembly and mechanical challenges. The kit captures the Endless Waltz aesthetic and offers a deep build experience, with transformation mechanics and fine surface detail that reward careful assembly. Moving between mobile suit and mobile armor modes gives hands-on insight into the kit's engineering.

Precision transform mechanics

The Epyon EW Ver. uses a refined joint layout to let the model change from MS to MA without sacrificing poseability. Key points include a 4-point articulated neck, interlocking extendable wings, and a forearm claw that tucks neatly into position with a sliding mechanism. The heat rod is segmented into jointed sections for realistic sweeps and display options.

Katoki marking detail and accessories

Hajime Katoki's touch appears in the included decal sheets, giving authentic surface markings for accurate presentation. The parts set also contains the heat rod shield and beam sword so builders can choose between signature poses or shielded configurations when finishing the model.

Assembly advice for advanced modelers

To get the cleanest results, undergate parts where possible to reduce visible nubs and use careful test-fits on transformation joints before final assembly. Panel lining will deepen engraved details and make Katoki's panel work stand out, while light sanding and precise trimming keep moving parts smooth.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Grade: Master Grade
  • Build Level: Advanced

The Bandai MG 1/100 Gundam Epyon EW Ver. is a standout project for modelers who value mechanical complexity and accurate styling, making it a highlight in a Master Grade collection.

The transformation is moderately complex and suited to those with prior MG builds; careful test-fitting and patience make the process much easier.
Use thin coats of enamel or lacquer for smooth coverage, and mask carefully for the red and black contrasts. A matte topcoat can match the kit's intended look.
You cannot display the same physical kit in both forms simultaneously, but photographing each mode or building a second copy are common solutions for collectors.
Use sharp nippers for rough cuts, a hobby knife for trimming, and progressively finer sanding sticks to blend gates into the plastic without marring details.
