Another FM Y wing!

[ralphee]

Well i just fancied a nice simple OOB build up, dont do these smaller kits often, and found it hard to even see some parts lol...i must get some glasses i reckon!
Anyhoo, makes a change from some of the labored long winded studio builds i get into...looking forward to painting it TBH!

Can't wait to see more on this one. Think i might need to try a kit like this in the future.

I can say its not a wasted buy Neil, i dont care much for smaller models, but this has really made me feel like a kid again, and it literally builds itself...well not quite i guess :lol
Ive got a few more on order that i want to trick out later, along with a couple of X wings just for the hell of it...just makes a nice change from the studio scale stuff!

Cheers Kaoru lol, ill keep that in mind, ive got them painted now, just need to add them tomorrow.
Ive laid down the basic paint, now i can get into markings, washes and weathering...i take my hat off to you 1/72 modelers, these are so small, its quite a little challenge to paint, but im just going my own way with it......no anal accuracy for this one :lol
I actually (instead of steel wool on my SS builds) used blutack to scuff the nacelles etc, work really well and gave a scale look to the chip marks!
