Background of Tornado Gundam: Tornado Gundam is a prototype mobile suit from the SNES game SD Gundam GX. It is known for its ability to fly in the atmosphere, making it versatile in various environments. Its arm armor consists of a multi-layered structure made of Luna titanium and shock-absorbing materials, allowing it to be used as shields. Tornado Gundam was equipped with a variety of weaponry, including lightsabers, Gatling guns, and a beam rifle.

The history of Tornado Gundam is shrouded in mystery, as several units were found in an abandoned factory, still fully operational but with no available data regarding their development. In the SD Gundam GX game, Tornado Gundam could appear in neutral factories and be used by any faction that took over the factory.

The Tornado Gundam SDCS model is an excellent choice for collectors and modelers who want to add a unique and historical element from the Gundam universe to their collection.

Gunpla is an abbreviation for GUNdam PLAstic model. Models do not require glue or (for the most part) painting. They are based on the Japanese series - Gundam - which debuted in Japan in 1979 and featured giant combat robots, reaching heights of up to 18 meters, piloted by humans.

Do-it-yourself assembly kit. To assemble, you will need modeling nippers (to cut the model parts from the frames), which are not included in the kit. It is also advisable to equip yourself with a modeling knife (or a utility knife). The photo shows a professionally assembled model.
