The only time I use cement on Bandai kit is when I’m putting two halves of a beam rifle together and I want to get rid of the seam lines. Everything else pretty much fit together nicely without glue.

Bandaï makes so lovely kits ... you've done the best with it! 😍👍

Beautiful, always amazed at the level of detail in 1/72 scale these days.

In my opinion, one of the most satisfying parts of a lot of Star Wars kits is how free you can be with the weathering; many of the ships/vehicles look banged and beat up, dirty and grimy. It really gives you a lot of freedom to just have fun and not worry about any sort of comparison. Even though the Y Wing is one of my least favorite ships, I still love all the detail on the kit; when I first heard the contract for these kits was going to Bandai, I wasn't sure if I'd like them but the amount of detail and how well the pieces fit has made me a big fan.

That's a straight up beautiful build. Man, I wish you were my next door neighbor. I'd totally hang out in your garage and bug you to see what you were going to build next.

!!!This is so cool. The Y-Wing is my favourite Star Wars ship. This model looks so much better than the toys. You detailng is excellent and is really inspiring to see what can be done with some effort and talent.

i just started my first kit, the A-Wing, only done the cockpit but can already tell im going to like building it and will be buying more.

REALLY NICE < It looks like it has a lot of detailed pipes and fittings, and such that you could really have fun with !!

[calvingifford]

Swell build! I can hardly wait to pick one up!!

[Raptormike]

The Y wing was my favourite Star Wars toy as a kid. Should be featured more in the films.

Best looking y-wing I've seen. Will look good with x-wing. Now you can blow up the death star!

[donaldsemora]

Your work is impressive, and I like the variety.

[jaredcurran]

Why are you applying glue to a snap together?

[larryverner]

Amazing work! Side note, in the original model the front of the engine neceiles were made from Leggs Pantyhose containers.

[ghanighetok]

great build. most of the glue is unnecessary though, it's a Bandai kit after all.

[fordfitch]

Very well done! Only things would suggest to consider to make it pop more would be to detail the Astromech droid (give it a color like blue or green to offset the grey/yellow of the ship), and to do some detail on the pilot's helmet. Also a subtle drybrush highlight on certain areas of the pilot's flight suit would help to.
Otherwise it is a solid, nicely done build and paint.

[jordyncollier]

Hm yes, this is indeed a life size Y Wing. Wait, it's not? I'm calling bs. It totally is.

[BMAK]

Lovely work, well done. Don't suppose you have considered painting the "B-Wing" - my personal favorite?
