My great friend Steve in Sweden has made another home run with the shrunken down ILM quality paintjob that he's working on for my 1/72 Gold Leader Y-Wing Fighter model. Just awesome work.
Thanks all.
Here's the completed ship on its stand together with some side by side comparisons with the much larger ILM original. (ILM on the left, Bandai on the right).
Here's a fun photo that shows just how much smaller the 1/72 version is compared to the 1/24 studio scale model. Amazing that my friend has been able to scale down the ILM quality paintjob and without making any of it look out of scale.
I've got to say that these Bandai kits are INCREDIBLY well detailed considering their small scale. It's clear that the team who work on these releases for Bandai are putting their heart and soul into the products!
