It’s time to build another Gundam Wing Master Grade. You’d think that after the success I just had with Master Grade Sandrock that I’d be pretty excited, but I come to this kit with at least a little bit of trepidation.
Most of the Gundam Wing Master Grades - including Sandrock - were released between 2010 and 2013. That’s not exactly new by any stretch, but in my (admittedly limited) experience, most kits from 2010 and onward have a certain baseline level of quality that you can rely on.
But today’s kit is the oddball of the bunch. According to my research, it was the first Gundam Wing Master Grade ever released, all the way back in 2004:
And that’s the cause of my trepidation. I can’t tell if the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka here is going to feel different (read: older) than its brethren, or if it somehow laid the groundwork six years ahead of them.
