John Laidlaw Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I actually built this a couple of years ago, but today came across some photos of it, so I thought I'd share them. It was a fun build, and even more fun to paint and weather. Paint was all Tamiya, decals settled down with Walther's Solvaset, and weathering done with a combination of oils, Flory Models Black Wash, and various Ammo by Mig enamel washes. Weapons damage was sprayed using my Badger Renegade Krome. Edited July 30, 2019 by John Laidlaw I can’t type very well... 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Very nice build. 👍 Wish Fine moulds (or Bandai) would have done a 1/48 scale version to go with the X-Wing and TIE. Karl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Great looking Y-wing ! ... I agree with Karl a bigger scale Y & B wing would be the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Lovely work! Nice and grungy, like Y-wings should look. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, a B-Wing in that scale would be in the stash immediately. 3 hours ago, Hook said: Lovely work! Nice and grungy, like Y-wings should look. Cheers, Andre Thanks, Andre!

Andy Moore Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Excellent looking Y-Wing John. Wish someone would re-release the kit, as it was one of Finemolds best. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to build the Bandai offering, so it's going to be interesting to see which I prefer - if it's anything like the A-Wing, I think I'll love it.
