Shipped

I still haven't even touched my Darius models, I wonder when I'll get to this one.

Ordered. DOJ is godlike, so I need a model kit of the ship.

I got it tonight! Looking at it now. I will do an unboxing video of it. It does say that glue is required, FYI.

Thanks for the detailed video unboxing! Would I be able to find comparable paints in the US?

It depends on where you live. So I am from the Phoenix area, and there was one hobby shop in the area that stocked Mr. Color paints. Since you are in the Bay area, You may try Newtype Hobby and Toys. I've never been there, but in high school I used to get their mail order catalogs. They stock tons of Japanese model kits and garage kits, so I bet they'd either stock those paints or know where to get them.

Unless you have an airbrush, I wouldn't recommend going with Mr. Color lacquers. They dry quickly, so they are difficult to hand-paint.

Just got mine assembled.

Didn't really do anything fancy with mine, just a straight snap-together build without the landing gears, but I still like how it turned out

Airbrush as well as paints? Sounds fun, but more work/time than I was expecting.

Can you post a pic? I'd like to see what it looks like without paint, etc.

Camera flash kinda flushed out some of the detail (especially on the white sections) but should give you an idea

I need this in my life! Or one of those DOJ ships that are already premade. Anyone know where I could snag one or am I stuck with YAJ?

Here's a WIP for this model, in french but with a lot of pics:

Any possibility of or anyone knowing a website in english that carries it?

amiami, 1999.co.jp and Hobbylink Japan all have english pages.

I buy from AmiAmi for the postcards

Just threw on some black paint on the panel lines and some white on the window and then the kit is ok.
Great kit overall, very good fit and fun to build.

greg · Post by **greg** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 9:47 am

So it just snaps together, huh? I wonder why the instruction manual says it needs glue.

The parts fit together pretty cleanly? There's no gaps? Let me know. It would be easier to paint the pieces separately and then assemble, instead of having to assemble first and then mask. Thanks.

Jenseits · Post by **Jenseits** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 11:32 am

It needs glue.

Parts fit really good.
Just follow the pics in the manual and you should be fine.

Just a heads up, HobbySearch currently has the DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Type-A in their bargain sale for about $30, cheapest I've seen it yet.

Not really....I didn't glue anything on mine and it came together just fine

My 7 month old would probably prefer the cardboard box to be honest

Also got the hobby search deal. Thanks!

greg · Post by **greg** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 8:29 am

Is this just a temporary sale, or is the kit not doing so well (thus the discounted price)? If it's not selling well, then we'd not likely see a Type B kit...

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:37 pm

wonder woots the size of this when assembled? looks neat hehe

rugdoctor · Post by **rugdoctor** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 11:40 pm

No postcard for me

But the goods came in

The hello kitty chogokin has something rattling inside, will check it out later. She is a heavy bitch.

Also, decided to pick up Yamato valkyrie 1/48 to 2p with Type-A for maximum pew pew time
