Together with the 1/72 Y-wing Starfighter. The detail holds its own, but the 1/72 definitely has better depth.

The Y-wing Starfighter is the fifth release in the Star Wars Vehicle Model series. It's a craft that already showed off stunning visuals at 1/72 scale thanks to its incredibly complex body detail — and while this Vehicle Model is tiny, around 1/144 scale, the molding is packed in just as densely as the 1/72, making panel lining feel really rewarding.

That said, the many pipes embedded in the body are only reproduced as molded detail rather than separate parts, so it does look a bit flatter compared to the 1/72 where the pipes were actually broken out as individual pieces. Still, given how much complex molding is crammed into such a small size, it seems like a kit that anyone who loves intricate structures will have a great time painting or panel lining. :-)
