Good, verging on Great
I won't go into plot/story details; you can plug "Gargantia" into any search engine and get enough results to clue you in about the story behind this series. I'm going to tell you what I thought of it, instead.
Gargantia tells an engaging story, and does it well enough to be a four-star feature. Concept, artwork, sound, are all very, very good.
Where Gargatia falls short of the mark is in the story (or stories) it didn't tell. In other words, there're rich veins of untapped material/untold story left over, wasted potential left abandoned by the storytellers.
Still, and in spite of that, the authors leave enough tantalizing clues for we the audience to speculate intelligently on much of this uncharted territory; nothing is really "left out," and the story, as told, is complete, and stands on its own.
It's good, very good; and it could have been great. But don't let that stop you from watching (and, hopefully, enjoying!) this anime.

Highly Detailed, Incredible Design
Has some features that make it ideal for the novice builder, and some that make it a challenge for the Experienced builder.
The "General Build" is "layered," like an onion, meaning that successive layers hide seams and joints very well, keeping putty & sanding to a (very) bare minimum, making it, very generally speaking, an "easy build," provided you carefully trim and test fit before final application. And the parts are very well made to fit, so trim and sanding is, at WORST, very minimal.
However, all the external detail "piping" is very thin and delicate; you can easily break it removing it from the parts tree, and getting it aligned and glued on is finicky work calling for patience, and a steady hand.
Having said that, the final result is a very beautiful, very detailed Y-Wing, ready to be painted and decaled as suggested, or modified/customized as you desire.
In conclusion, Fine Molds really came through with this series of kits (not just the Y-Wing!), producing a good looking, detailed, reasonably easy kit to build and finish.
I rated it as "durable," but will advise some care/caution in handling the model after it is built; that detail "piping" can be delicate, and will NOT take much abuse (and by "much," I mean none at all).
