The HG 1/144 WD-M01 Turn A Gundam (#177) brings one of the most unique and iconic mobile suit designs in the Gundam universe to Bandai’s High Grade lineup. Taken from Turn A Gundam, this kit perfectly captures Syd Mead’s distinctive futuristic design, making it a must-have for builders looking for something completely different from traditional Gundam aesthetics.

Released as part of the HG Correct Century line, the Turn A Gundam combines clean engineering with impressive articulation, allowing for a wide range of expressive poses straight out of the box. Its unmistakable “mustache” face, sleek white armour, and elegant proportions have made it one of the franchise’s most recognisable and celebrated designs.

Despite its minimalist appearance, the kit is packed with accessories. Included are the signature Beam Rifle, Beam Sabers, Shield, and the Core Fighter, along with interchangeable hands for a variety of display options. The chest hatch can also be displayed open using optional parts to reveal the internal Multi-Purpose Silo, while the rear panel can be swapped to recreate the Nanomachine Regeneration System.

Bandai’s excellent colour separation means very little painting is required for an impressive straight build, although panel lining and a few painted details will really make the unique mechanical design stand out. The sturdy construction and smooth articulation make it equally suitable for beginners looking to expand beyond traditional Gundam designs or experienced builders wanting a fantastic canvas for custom weathering and detailing.
