                        Hi All.

                        Just would like to share my impressions on the 1/72 FM Y-Wing. Actually picked the kit up 2 days ago for 2856Yen.

                        Castings are very clean, assembly looks straightforward. Lots of greeblies as most of the pipings are separate parts.

                        The kit can be build in 3 different markings (Gold Leader, Gold 2 & Gold 3), decals are provided for each version. Interesting is that most of joint lines are hidden beneath panels so little putty will be needed.

                        Cockpit is well detailed but the canopy can only done in a closed configuration. Colouring instructions are in japanese AND english. Colours given are for Gunze and Tamiya ranges.

                        Another great offering from FM. For now the kit is on the backburner as I want to finish the 1/20 Bandai Scopedog(Special Edition) first.

                        HTH.
