Bandai SDCS Tornado Gundam

Tornado Gundam from SD Gundam G Generation, in SD Cross Silhouette

The Tornado Gundam is a prototype mobile suit from the SD Gundam G Generation games, and this kit puts it in Bandai's SD Gundam Cross Silhouette line. Its signature arm gatling guns, movable back binders and two selectable frames make it a compact kit with display options.

It suits SD Gundam fans, Cross Silhouette collectors, and builders who want a short, fun build that still has posing and a choice of proportions.

Build difficulty

Bandai rates it for ages 8 and over, and we class it as Skill Level 1. It is a small kit, so a pair of nippers and a hobby knife for clean-up are the tools to have. Stickers are included.

Technical highlights

The kit includes both a CS frame and an SD frame, and you pick one at build time to get the proportions you prefer. The gatling gun on each arm can be shown in a normal or a deployed state by attaching and detaching parts, and the beam sabers can be connected. Each part of the back binder moves.

What makes this kit special

  • Two frames in one box: a CS frame and an SD frame are both included, and you choose the build.
  • Deployable gatling: normal and deployed states by swapping parts on the arm.
  • Connecting beam sabers: the two sabers can be linked.
  • Movable back binder: each section of the binder moves.
  • Beam rifle and spare hands: a beam rifle and a set of swap-in hands for different poses.

What's in the box

  • Tornado Gundam parts, with both the CS and SD frames
  • Hand parts (1 set)
  • Deployed gatling parts (1 set)
  • Beam rifle (1)
  • Beam saber (2)
  • Stickers (1 sheet)

No display base is listed in the contents.

Compatible accessories

Bandai's press photos show the kit posed on an Action Base, which is sold separately and is not part of this kit.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

How beginner friendly are these SD kits compared to traditional Gunpla models?

SD kits are a fantastic starting point for newcomers! Their simpler design and fewer parts make assembly straightforward. But don't be fooled; they still offer intricate details that both novices and seasoned builders will appreciate.

I've heard SD kits have a unique 'chibi' style. Will they look odd next to my other Gunpla models?

SD kits do have a distinct 'chibi' or 'super-deformed' style with exaggerated proportions. While they'll definitely stand out due to their unique design, many collectors love the contrast they offer in a diverse Gunpla collection. It all boils down to personal preference!

What’s Our Most Popular SD & SDCS Gundam?

The SD and SDCS lines from the Gundam universe feature deformed, "chibi" versions of iconic mobile suits. Popular SD models include the EX-Standard RX-78-2 Gundam and Legend BB Knight Gundam. The SDCS line, known for versatility with its two frame options, highlights the RX-78-2 Gundam and the Zaku II.

How Much Do Our SD Gundam Kits Typically Cost?

SD Gundam kits typically range from $10 to $30 AUD, depending on the model and complexity. Limited editions or more elaborate kits may cost more.

Are there any specific tools I should invest in for assembling SD kits?

Basic Gunpla tools like nippers, a hobby knife, and tweezers will suffice for SD kits.

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

I purchased this kit and one other for my grandsons birthday. He loved building it and found it easy to follow. My order arrived in super fast time and was beautifully packed. It even had some wonderful freebies in the box which was really great. Excellent product and service in every way!

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
