The GW-9800-B Gundam Airmaster Burst, piloted by Witz Sou, is the ultimate evolution of the original Airmaster. Designed to deliver absolute air superiority, this versatile unit combines the manoeuvrability of a combat robot with the blistering speed of an interceptor jet.
Built to a 1/100 scale, this retro-style kit perfectly captures the charm of 1990s mecha design. The highlight of this model is its full transformation mechanism: without removing any major parts, you can fold away its limbs and deploy its back boosters to switch the robot from ‘Mobile Suit’ mode to ‘Fighter’ mode. It is equipped with its two retractable pistols (Buster Rifles), which attach beneath the wings in flight mode, as well as integrated movable nose cannons.
