I made sure to get one (1:72) at a nice price early on before the kits became expensive, much more expensive than the X-Wing models apparently. 🙂 There is also the 1:144 scale version of the Y-Wing which you ought to check out (cheap), which is a nice model to have on the table in front of you. 🙂

Fun little detail: So I have a black'ish glass cabinet (the wooden parts painted black), and I've noticed that these small Bandai models that comes with a black stand.. the models looks like they hover in the air inside the cabinet which is a fun illusion. 🙂 This looks really nice for the tiny (smallest) Star Destoyer model Bandai put out.

I have a display case, but its not black, but it may be an idea to get some black construction paper and surround the shelf where I have my star wars models, maybe but some holes in it for stars or something, maybe an idea

I have a pile of the Bandai droids to build, the quality of the moulding on those is outstanding, looking forward to see how this one goes together

SO I have started on my x mas present, the Bandai Y wing, I think these Bandai models are pretty darn good and they can be built simply by kids as well as more detailed for us more advanced modelers. I have always like the Y wing, but I have always liked strike craft like the JU 87, IL 2, Skyraider, SU 25, and A 10 just to name of few, this is the Star Wars version of a strike aircraft as I see it, so I find it one of the color ones as well, a lot better than that crazy thing they had in the new movies.
