LEGO Star Wars 9495 Gold Leader's Y-wing Starfighter

LEGO Star Wars set 9495, “Gold Leader's Y-wing Starfighter”, depicts the Y-wing starfighter associated with Gold Leader in the Star Wars universe. Released in 2012, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 458 pieces for the ship and its related elements.

The model focuses on Gold Leader’s Y-wing, a Rebel craft with a distinctive place in the Star Wars licence. Within the LEGO Star Wars theme, it fits among the vehicles of the Rebel Alliance, using the long profile, forward cockpit and exposed mechanical rear sections associated with the Y-wing design.

The build is centred on the starfighter’s shape, including the pilot area, the astromech position and the rear assemblies that convey the technical look of the craft.

This set suits collectors of LEGO Star Wars spacecraft as well as builders looking for a Rebel vehicle for play or display. In the wider theme, it sits with other Rebel Alliance models, with added interest from the pairing of Dutch Vander and R5-F7, plus Leia in her white robe and cape.
