Bandai HGCC 1/144 WD-M01 Turn A Gundam
This model embodies the technological pinnacle of the famous piloted mobile suit within the Correct Century timeline. Every part of the internal structure faithfully reproduces the original mechanical design, whilst featuring a level of detail unprecedented for this compact scale. The subtle shades of the coloured plastics create a striking visual contrast that brings the robot to life as soon as assembly is complete, without the need for any paintwork.
This version’s exclusive articulation system incorporates advanced joints that allow it to replicate the flexibility of the human body with remarkable fluidity. The unique armour plates and the streamlined structure of its rear propulsion flaps move in synchronised fashion as the limbs move, preserving the robot’s distinctive silhouette even in its most dynamic combat poses. This centrepiece stands as the indispensable heart of any display dedicated to the world of giant combat robots.
