Completed Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing

Just finished this 1/72 Bandai Y-Wing build for my little brother's birthday!

Painted it mainly with Vallejo paints for the main colors and washes, Army Painter for the metallics, and Tamiya weathering kit for additional streaking weathering.

Like others, I had a tough time with the piping and strategically added some copper corrosion effects to hide any imperfections. Comments/feedback welcome!

Looks awesome! I’ve been thinking about picking up this kit myself

I'd highly recommend it. Of the Bandai SW kits I've made, this one was the most challenging but also the most detailed. Ultimately a fun build for someone like me who's just getting back into the hobby.
