MonsieurTox · 04-21-2011, 02:49 PM

Hello guys,

Could you help me with those parts ?

Thank you in advance !

ralphee · 04-21-2011, 03:29 PM

Top pic in red is Howitzer...... I think bro.

Lee

Guy Cowen · 04-21-2011, 03:32 PM

You are a Machine mate, has this build started yet. Lee told me about your R2 when I saw him this week, I cant believe how many things you have on the go that are so amazing.

Good look with I'ds mate.

MonsieurTox · 04-21-2011, 03:40 PM

Thanks Lee !

There are 3 Italeri Howitzer : 2 are tanks and 1 are just the guns but I cant find the part in any of this 3 kits :s (2 are on studioscale.com and the other on studioscalemodeler.com)

ralphee · 04-21-2011, 03:45 PM

Bro, should be the M1A1 airfix i believe buddy.
Your building a Y wing too? Now i really do feel a lesser being lol.

Big thanks, that's the Airfix one !!

Ahah yeah you got me... While I was making the pattern for the SD trenches, I thought it would be too bad to not build a Y-Wing with this 8 rad pattern... Now I'm caught with this one ! I start by trying to ID and collect the parts... and Ive started to do some drawings...

Lesser being ? The guy who built working PD legs cant be a lesser being. I wish I could build one, maybe one day !

ralphee · 04-21-2011, 04:28 PM

Welcome Julien, owed you for that PD find the other day, lifesaver.

Id love to build the Y, hull is such a pig to get right though, may have to wait for Steve to get moving on the new kit.

Cant wait to see this begin.

Lee

MonsieurTox · 04-21-2011, 04:40 PM

Yeah, Ive started to draw the body, it's not easy at all (I used the 3D rendering made by Ron -Flinlock- to get a better idea of how it looks without all those greeblies !

). Fortunatly enough, there are big parts used on the body that help a lot... Tomorrow I'll finish the body drawings and will start the cockpit... It wont be as perfect as the one built by John C, but I wanted to use those kitparts that are used only on the Y-Wing !
I'm pretty sure Steve's (or better John C's) will be awesome, the pics Steve posted a while back show the accuracy of this new Y !

jedimaster · 04-21-2011, 05:45 PM

Jealous!

-... . .- --.. · 04-21-2011, 06:57 PM

Wheeeeee....

Julien, I have the part in red coming from the Italeri 155mm Gun M1-A2 (kit No 232). Have the kit and it looks like the right part to me. Don't have the Airfix kit to compare, though.

moffeaton · 04-21-2011, 06:59 PM

I know for a fact that Allan has that kit, because I cast the part to replace soft detail on a Y-Wing kit a couple of years back.... he will know!

I believe the part circled in green is from the Bandai 1/15 Panzer IV. I vaguely recall from researching when I considered building the Y a year ago.

Here's the Italeri kit part:

and the kit:

This version of the part looks like it's missing a couple of ridges on top, but that could be extra dressing.

moffeaton · 04-21-2011, 08:19 PM

Yeah, that's the one!

ralphee · 04-21-2011, 08:27 PM

I think the Italeri is the correct part, but the Airfix is almost identical, and easier to locate.

Lee

MonsieurTox · 04-22-2011, 01:17 AM

Thanks guys !

Well the bad news is that I bought an Airfix 155mm for £42 yesterday

and the Italeri one can be found for $10.

Fortunatly that's only money loss, the kit itself is the same. Lee was correct, the Airfix, Italeri and Peerless Max 155 mm Howitzer are actualy the same kit.

Thank you for the Panzer IV hint !

Any idea about the part of the wing on which are glued details ? (blue arrow)
The red arrow, looks like hangar doors of a Hornet or Enterprise aircraft carrier !

Missed this one Guy !
Thank you

Yeah R2 is a very fun build !

Hammer3246 · 04-22-2011, 02:12 AM

Nice to see a new Y-wing thread. I'm looking to start my own but most of the ID threads are trashed, this will be great. Looking foward to your progress.

Cheers

swgeek · 04-22-2011, 03:11 AM

The purple arrow is from the 1:25 Centurion but maybe that's already known.

Gort · 04-22-2011, 04:46 AM

Hi Julien,

The green arrow looks to be pointing at the Airfix 1/600 devonshire.

Red arrow part I recall as being cut from the Tamiya 1/700 Enterprise/Hornet.

The orange arrow grill is from the Airfix Handley Page 0/400 bomber which I've also noticed crops up on the underside of one of the 5' Falcon belly pits.

Can't remember what the light blue arrow part is at the moment.

Hope that helps

Cheers
Nick

MonsieurTox · 04-25-2011, 11:19 AM

Thank you Nick, never noticed the grills in my Handley Page kit !!

Great help, thanks !

Julien, just wondering about the blue circled section, I'm not sure if you need the middle bit, but it looks like a lazer guided bomb in the center of that area. Looks a small scale, maybe 1/72 or smaller 144th ?...am I seeing things ?

Cheers

Phil

MonsieurTox · 04-25-2011, 05:11 PM

Yeah Phil I need the whole assembly !

You could be right, I can see what you mean ! Thank you
