MG 1/100 WD-M01 Turn A Gundam – Master Grade Plastic Model Kit
Syd Mead's Distinctive Gundam Design in Master Grade
Add one of the most unconventional designs in the Gundam franchise to your collection with the MG 1/100 WD-M01 Turn A Gundam from Bandai Spirits. Designed by legendary industrial designer Syd Mead for Turn A Gundam, its sweeping armour, chest-mounted structure and unmistakable moustache-like facial detail give it a silhouette unlike any other Gundam.
Detailed Recreation of the Turn A
Bandai's Master Grade interpretation carefully recreates the unusual body proportions and fine mechanical detail of Mead's original design. The chest structure and thruster vanes are reproduced in detail, while the chest hatch can be opened.
The kit includes the Turn A's dedicated Beam Rifle, shield and Gundam Hammer. A 1/100-scale figure of pilot Loran Cehack is included, along with the famous cow accessory associated with one of the series' most memorable scenes.

How to Build
The MG Turn A Gundam is a rewarding build for anyone looking for something visually different from the standard Gundam silhouette. A good pair of hobby nippers and careful cleanup are recommended, particularly around the broad white armour panels. Panel lining can emphasise Mead's surface detailing without overwhelming the clean design.
