Thank the maker for Fine Molds!

 

[Captain Han Solo]

Great News!! I will be getting one...or two..or three................

 

[John P]

WOOHOOO! It's about time!

 

[Prince of Styrene II]

Amen!! This is one I've been waiting for for a very long time! No more searching for the AMT kit! :lol:

Now if we can only get the B-Wing!

 

[kylwell]

Finally!

 

[Cramped Hand]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! ....I need a tissue.

Stupid question to which I'd like an answer: What's the approximate length in inches of a Y-wing at 1/72nd scale?

[Prince of Styrene II]

And will they include two different heads for the astromech like the X-Wing kit?

I'm not 100% for sure, but it should be roughly 7" to 8", depending on what length for the "real" Y-Wing you use, I guess. Regardless, I'm excited by the news! I've been hoping to get a 1/72 Y-Wing for quite some time now, as it's my favorite design from the entire saga.

Time to brush up on weathering effects!

Will that be bigger then the AMT, I hope, even if only slightly.
Thanks

This will likely be one of their biggest sellers.

Okay, that sounds decent. As great as they were, I passed on the FM TIE kit -- it was just too small for me.

Yea!!! *does a happy dance*


This is great news!

 

[PerfesserCoffee]

I'm afraid I won't be able to resist this one!

 

[John P]

I can't wait to cover one up with sheet to make it look brand new.

here's my 1/48 Alfred Wonf one, btw:

Like I said on SSM, I think I need to thin out my collection of unbuilt (and built kits). This is is one I'll actually want to build. Looks like it's time to start selling on those auction places!

 

[Capt. Krik]

Looks like Hobby Link Japan has taken down the page showing the prototype of this kit.

 

[miniature sun]

Surely the next one must be Vader's TIE....still with the Y-Wing I can feel a 1/72nd scale trench coming on....
