All I can say is WOW!!! I didn't think anyone could make a better model kit than Fine Molds.... I was Wrong!!! Bandai's Star Wars models are just that.... Better!!! Crisper, more detailed... Even the plastic is molded in color.

I have a few days off work and I'm building the Y-WING which is about 10" long when complete. This thing is gorgeous.... It's around 150 parts so you get the picture... Just ridiculous details.

I will post pictures ASAP.... I have to admit that because the model kit is so nice it's really inspiring me to go all out on this one!!

The Y-Wing is my favorite Star Wars fighter, I'd love to have one like that displayed in my collection.

Unfortunately, God gave me artistic skills but no practical understanding of electronics :( I can whip up a pretty nice model but sadly it won't have lights.
