Andy Moore Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi Guys This is Finemolds 1/72 Y-wing completed June 2014. The kit was built OOB for the most part with a little extra detail in the cockpit and scratch built steering vanes. I didn't want to finish it as one of the film versions so went with a fictitious scheme. The paint chipping was done with a combination of masking fluid and hairspray. I'm not 100% happy with the colour choices I made and I'd love the opportunity to try a different scheme on another but of course Finemolds have lost the licence now. Hopefully they'll keep the tooling safe and they'll be re-issued one day. Anyway, enjoy the shots Thanks for looking Andy 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh65 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Please let someone reissue that! I have to have me one! I'll never get it to look near as good as that but I can dream. Stunning work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper15 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks, you may be in luck now that Revell are reissuing some of the Finemolds kits Andy Really, I hadn't heard about this, I shall investigate and buy them all no doubt. I'm sure they won't end up looking half as nice as yours but thank you for the heads up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they won't end up looking half as nice as yours but thank you for the heads up. I think all they've announced so far regarding Finemolds reissues are the 1/48 X-wing and TIE and the 1/72 Falcon, all of which will be welcome but I imagine that if they sell well they'll look at releasing others like this and maybe Slave 1. Bandai have announced a 1/72 Y-Wing too so it looks like we may be spoilt for choice soon. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
