I do like the model in that you can modify it to make a fleet of similar but
unique Y-wings, like in the actual movie.  In the movie (I think--it's
definitely in the books), there are even two kinds of Y-wings, a one and a
two-seater.  I'd like to get a few copies of the set and try making some
two-seaters.
