Bandai Star Wars Y-Wing 1/72

Simply wonderful all around. You've really captured the look IMHO. I hear these Bandai kits are pure joy at the bench.

Thanks Zac, Kensar and Warren 

The pipes are part of the kit, but I chose to give them a bit more color than you often see on Y-Wings. Think it gives some more visual interest than an all grey body.

And yes Bandai really made a great kit! Think I have to build another next time I need a break from a longer build

Great build, and you gotta love that weathering. I agree wholeheartedly about the plumbing, it adds a lot of visual interest.

But you're still a Rebel and a traitor, though... :-D

Just noticed the RR Merlin valve covers... heh.

nice stuff. Maybe do a little discoloration at the bends in the copper to suggest heating?

[AngryJazz]

Haha thanks Dave 
Maybe a Empire build next time! I have the AT-AT and AT-ST that could be fun 

Thanks Tony! Its fun to look for these "hidden" parts. There are also track links and what looks to be a engine deck from a tiger on the kit.
And good idea! I will add a bit once I start the final diorama for it

Small update!

Finally got around to making a base for the Y-Wing.

Most of my builds had stalled due to kids and little bench time. However now that they are sleeping better I can finally start to catch up on my backlog of half finished projects 

Wanted to make a Rebel outpost inspired setting.

Terrific! Looks like it could be a scene from one of the umpteen new Disney SW prequel/sequel series!

Thank you very much for the kind words all of you 

I will be finishing my Eduard Spitfire tonight (small side project).

Then i should hopefully be back to the WNW kit again soon!
