MG 1/100 Deathscythe Hell EW — Wing's Dark Reaper Revisited

The MG Deathscythe Hell EW is one of the most dramatically atmospheric kits in the Wing lineup. The active cloak unfolds to reveal the black wings, the hyper beam scythe is enormous, and the overall dark aesthetic makes it a standout display piece.

MG Deathscythe Hell EW: Wing's Dark Reaper

The MG Gundam Deathscythe Hell EW (2010) is the Master Grade Deathscythe in its Endless Waltz movie redesign — Duo Maxwell's mobile suit. The 'Hell' designation refers to the Hell Modification — adding active cloak technology and reaper aesthetic enhancements.

For Wing fans, the Deathscythe Hell EW is essential as Duo's iconic upgraded suit. The MG version is the apex 1/100 representation.

The Active Cloak

The Deathscythe Hell EW's signature feature is the 'Active Cloak' — a cape-like armor extension on the back that can deploy outward in dramatic configurations. The MG kit includes the cloak as a multi-piece articulated armor assembly.

The cloak can be displayed stowed (folded into the back), partial deployed (slightly extended), or fully deployed (cape spread wide).

The Beam Scythe

The Deathscythe's signature weapon is the Beam Scythe — a long staff-like weapon with a curved beam blade. The MG kit includes the scythe in two configurations: standard (single blade) and dual (extra-long staff with twin blades).

The scythe blade is clear green plastic. The staff itself articulates for dramatic strike-pose display.

The Color Scheme

Black body with green accent trim and silver detail panels. The black is matte and slightly metallic. The green is saturated, contrasting strongly with the black.

The aesthetic reads as 'reaper space mobile suit' — appropriately ominous given the kit's name.

The Buster Shield

The Deathscythe includes a Buster Shield (right wrist mounted, can deploy as a small projectile weapon) plus a Vulcan gun arrangement on the head. Comprehensive Wing Gundam loadout.

The Inner Frame

2010-era MG frame. Strong articulation accommodates the kit's heavy weapons (scythe, cloak). The hip joints are reinforced; the cloak's mass requires stable mounting.

The Build

11-14 hours for a careful first build. The cloak assembly is the most time-consuming section.

Display Recommendations

The Deathscythe Hell EW looks best with cloak deployed, scythe in striking pose, slight crouched stance. The figure projects menace and dramatic theatricality.

For Wing collectors building the full pilot trio, this kit pairs with Wing Zero (Heero) and Sandrock (Quatre) for a complete display.
