About product

Jo Hound, a science fiction kit from Bandai

The plastic kit Jo Hound from the Japanese brand Bandai is one of its science fiction models and renders a robot combat machine. The parts are injection-molded from plastic colored right through and snap together, so the model has its colors finished as soon as it is assembled and no glue is needed for the job.

The real subject

The subject is a stylized piloted machine from Japanese science fiction, not real equipment. The design starts from a military aesthetic: divided armor panels, sturdy limbs and austere colors. It is precisely this position between a robot and a combat vehicle that makes models like this interesting even for modelers who otherwise build military vehicles and want to put weathering to use.

Building and painting

Separate the parts with nippers a little away from the part and then level the rest of the gate with a knife or a fine file, so that no light burr is left on the edge. Assembly is quick and requires no experience with conventional plastic kits. Anyone who wants to go further can break the model down into subassemblies, spray them with acrylic or a varnish suited to plastic and finish them with panel lines. With machines given a military treatment, a light dry brush on the edges, restrained chipping of the armor and a final matte varnish work well.

Who the model is for

  • fans of Japanese mecha series
  • beginners: the build goes ahead by snapping together, without glue
  • modelers of military vehicles who want to try weathering on a robot
  • collectors who want a model for a display case without long preparation

The model is assembled by snapping pre-colored parts together. Glue and paints are not needed for the build, and painting is optional.

FAQ

It is not. Bandai uses snap-fit joints and the parts snap together. You can finish the model without glue and without previous modeling experience.

You do not, the plastic is colored right through. The biggest difference comes from careful cleaning up of the gate marks and, if you like, a matte varnish to knock the sheen off the plastic.

Yes. The divided armor panels take panel lines, a dry brush on the edges and restrained dust effects well. We recommend spraying it with varnish before the patina.

The name does not give a scale; check it on the box of the kit. Science fiction machines with no real subject are commonly made to a size typical of the range.
