1/72nd scale Republic Y Wing (Clone Wars)

Looking sweet, I so love the look of models over the CGI or cartoon ships. The Models always have a more tangible feel and look more natural. I can’t wait to see your next project. :thumbsup
 
Thank you.

Here's a build up I'm doing of Anakin's ship. I made the other one so fast I forgot to take very many build pics. First thing I do is hollow out the rear of the engine with my dremel, after drilling a pilot hole.

It's hollowed out about an inch, just to give it some depth. This isn't necessary, but it has a better look I think.

I can't wait to get mine Rich thanks for taking the as you go pics. I for one am a sucker for build along pics :)

Great work, always loved the Y-Wings, the Clone Wars version is just as great.

(If there is a sale of the kit, shoot me a message.)
 
After primer. I put on the pylons, they have to be carefully lined up with the body, using the nacelles as a guide. It takes a little bit to get it straight, but not too much work. Then I put on the base coat, which is Tamiya white with a few drops of silver.

I'm painting this one as Anakins, it's a little different than the standard one. I like it better.

Thanks

Great looking kit Rel. It would be cool to see this ship done as a half prequel, half sequel. Kind of like a cutaway deal. Especially in SS scale. Or a Diorama in a hanger bay with the stripped ship and the body panels on the floor in a pile

Great idea - buy one and have at it man - it will be killer! SInce some fo the FM parts were used to abse this from you probably could interchange bits... Sounds like a great project!

Speaking of buying it - Are these ready yet? I saw on another board that people seemed to have gotten a few. I have 2 reserved but have not gotten any email or anything to send the money. I know that REL is not asking for money unitl he has kit in hand (good policy if you can swing it), I'm just wondering where I am in the queue...
