I feel like the Dijeh (De-Jay) is one of those designs that simply doesn’t get enough love.The Dijeh was a prototype mobile suit developed by Karaba based on the Rick Dias. During the Gryps War Amuro Ray piloted a Dijeh during the events of Zeta. Later, just prior to operation Phoenix Hunt we see several operatives from Luio & Company piloting several Dijehs during Narrative.To me, the Dijeh looks like a spiritual successor to the MS-14 Gelgoog. It shares a similar head design a beam naginata and wide flared armor at the waist and around the legs.The HG Dijeh is a really solid High-Grade release. It only has a few seam lines that need to be fused, a good overall amount of detail, and pretty decent articulation considering the design. I would have appreciated the inclusion of the Hyper Mega beam cannon from the HG Zeta evolution type, but it’s understandable that it wasn’t included.There is a P-Bandai variant on the horizon. But, the variations on this release: (a shoulder lamp and restyled beam rifle) aren’t enough to encourage me to order one.Here are the colors I mixed up:Mermaid Green: (my wife really likes this color). 70% Gaia Emerald Green, 15% Gaia Color Blue Gray & 15% Mr. Color sky blueDark Blue: 85% Gaia Color Midnight Blue & 15% Pure WhiteGrey Purple: 70% Gaia Color Neutral Gray #3 & 30% Gaia Color Purple VioletYellow: 90% Gaia Color Sunshine Yellow, 10% Gaia Color Yellow OrangeRed: Gaia Color 100% Bright RedMetallic Gray Weapons: Neutral Gray IV + Black + GunmetalMono Eye: Gaia Color 100% Fluorescent PinkI really didn’t have anything planned for a decal scheme when I started this build. But, I eventually stumbled across this Tamashi Nation Signature Dijeh figure . I ended up really liking the RG style of the design and opted to replicated elements of it. I used decals from the RG Sinanju, HG Blue Destiny, and Zeta/ZZ decal packs to create something similar.
