Bandai SD Cross Silhouette Tornado Gundam
This model embodies the technological pinnacle of the famous mobile suit from the strategy game timeline of the saga. Every part of the internal structure reproduces the original mechanical design whilst featuring a level of engraving detail unprecedented for this compact pocket-sized format. 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 requiring any touch-up painting.
The exclusive articulation system in this version is based on the range’s modular chassis, which allows for remarkable flexibility for a miniature model. The sturdy armour plates and connecting parts slide in unison as the limbs move, preserving the robot’s disproportionate lines even in its most dynamic combat poses. This centrepiece stands as the indispensable heart of any display case dedicated to iconic scale models.
