DABAN 8826 MG 1/100 MBF-P01-Re3 Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Hana Review

Details

Facial problems, in fact, the face basically uses the parts of Daban 8804, but this time because of the paint color change, The face plate itself is the same version as other plates of corresponding colors, and there is no need to change the color, so the purple face is matched with a white outer armor, which looks a bit inconsistent.

As mentioned in the evaluation, through After changing the color, the overall effect improves the look and feel compared to the original color, so the problem is not the face shape itself, but the color matching problem fortunately, it is a small part of the face, it is not too difficult to change the color by hand.

Finishing

Most of the panels of the DABAN 8826 MG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Han kit are made by pre-painting (similar to the previous Daban 8804). The white, gold, silver and other panels are all pre-painted panels, and some of the details and points of the outer armor are The color is also treated with pre-coating, which is relatively more than the pre-coating part of Daban 8804 MG 1/100 MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina.

The pre-coating of white panels is all painted with matte white paint, so the parts in the white part will look relatively comfortable. There are embossed details on the details of the parts, and the manufacturer has also carried out painting and color separation, which is relatively rare in their products. Although it has been there before, but it is the first time that there are relatively so many color separation coatings.

Like the waist armor, the details that originally needed color separation were also painted and separated, which made the effect of the prime group much better. It can be regarded as a rare conscience. After all, according to the past practice, these places may be directly the color of the parts.

Regarding the nozzle problem of electroplating parts, it is also because the plate of Daban 8804 has changed color, so the original nozzle is the same as it is now. Many places are exposed, but not much is actually hidden (only some electroplating parts are hidden nozzles) Therefore, some joints, arms, legs and other parts have exposed nozzles to varying degrees.

This can only be solved by manual color correction or repainting. As for white painted parts, because the background color of the parts is colorless The parts of the Daban 8804 are not sprayed with the primary color parts of Daban 8804, so even if there are exposed nozzles, it is not very obvious visually, which has been considered accordingly.

Snapfit

Because most of the main body and backpack weapons are remodeled from 8804, some problems that originally existed in the 8804 product are basically still retained in this product (exposed nozzles, skeleton parts are too tight, joints Too tight, etc.) just changed the painting, the original black part was changed to a matte white paint finish, and the gold electroplating parts were also unified in color.

However, due to the problems of spray painting, pre-coating and electroplating, the combination of these parts is still not good, and it is necessary to carry out a certain reaming process as mentioned in the article. Although it is not too difficult, it is relative to the experience of assembly. To be honest, it's a bit unsatisfactory.

Because of the pre-coating, the products will also have some inevitable problems such as rubbing, scratching, or inappropriate coating. Judging from the current samples, there are indeed these problems. I believe that large products will come out. There will be more or less such problems, so all kinds of painting problems will be encountered after they come out. I can only say one thing here, I am more blessed.

Movability and Articulation

After the above modification, the arm movement is no longer worried about the problem of broken joints, and it can be played at will. As for the previously criticized problem of the prolapse of the hydraulic rod of the leg, it did not appear on the Daban 8826 this time, and there was no problem of prolapse in the back and forth movement here.

As shown in the animation, such normal rotation and movement of the wing link joints have not caused the problem of part breakage for the time being. However, all uncontrollable factors cannot be ruled out, so it is still necessary to observe the bulk goods in kind.

Summary

The most interesting thing about this Daban 8826 kit is that it is the first time to perform pre-painting and color separation processing on such a large range of parts, so some parts like The pattern details of the upper protrusions and the parts that need color separation of some parts are all color-separated in this way. Although it is not a high-end practice, it is still a little improvement compared to the manufacturer itself.

However, considering that there will be many defects in this method, such as overflowing color, improper painting, scratches, etc. It is still difficult to avoid, and there will still be such problems to a greater or lesser extent.

Added here, it does not mean that the manufacturer's craftsmanship is not good, but this kind of problem on this kind of industrial coating products, no matter who and which one, will When this happens, it's just a question of how likely it is to occur, not a unique situation.

Regarding the part of the new regulations, because it is a part made by the new regulations in the later period, the hidden nozzles and the degree of combination are basically no problem, and they are very good. And the color separation is also very extreme.

New weapons like the big sword are divided into parts according to the original color matching, which perfectly restores the original effect. For the parts of these new regulations, except for the extremely small pattern details on the head cover, which cannot be pre-painted, other basic color separation and pre-painting can be pre-painted.

Regarding the problem correction part, in fact, some of the methods mentioned in the text have been mentioned by many people or posts before. However, in view of the age, I will re-list it here. Although it is not exhaustive, it can basically cover most of the problems. When making, as long as you can pay attention to the problems mentioned in the article, I believe that the entire production process is relatively easy, and it must be very helpful for those who have bought the product.
