Wasili, welcome aboard!

As for the jack, can someone please verify the 8RAD part then? I have no scanner.

What about the 8rad Nathan? The jack isn't from there either.

[KAIBURR]

I am wondering exactly which Hummel parts were used. Some of the same parts repeat on different trees. Any help here would be much appreciated! And which if any are dupes?

This is the Y-Wing Hummel info I collated from this thread; as always, be aware that sometimes this thread is wrong.

Hummel jacks were used along the neck sides.
In the overhead shot in the Chronicles, you can see one of the parts used on the rear of the X-Wing.
shock absorber, Parts 40,41 (N) (main assembly) & 9,10 (P) (canisters) make up the 4 large detail parts used on the wings.
Parts 43,and 46 (D) are used all over the engine.
parts 6 and 8 (P). Part 6 is the round thing used behind the R2 unit.

Here's Kaiburr's (Nathan) progress pic on his Y-Wing cockpit front. Enjoy!

[trooper]

has any one ever put together a list of people and what resin parts they make and sell? if there is such a list, can some one tell me where it is? i have both of the saturn v rocket kits and a bunch of legg egg's and i want to get started on it tk4021@yahoo.com

My Bandai Messer re-release finally came in. The landing gear is unchanged!!



Several other parts in the kit look familiar as well. Looks like it might yeild more than just Y-Wing dome struts!
(which some of you likely know...)

***edit*** removed printroom link.

At some point someone said that the fujimi 1/76 Jagdtiger and the 1/76 Elephant had parts for the Y... but I can see none from either of the kits at all. Also, I have the Bandai Messerschmitt and all I can spot from it are the landing gears... can anyone help clarify?

 

[Boba Flint]

It turns out the Jagdtiger part is close but not close enough.
I guarantee you that the 1/76 Elephant does provide a part for the Y.

 

[Flintlock]

Hmm... I looked again... Can't seem to spot it... Maybe I am losing my special powers

It's probably a tiny, almost insignificant part huh?

 

[Boba Flint]

small and round.

 

[Treadwell]

As for the Messer, I haven't scrutinized it yet but from just looking at the parts trees many parts look familiar--but probably for models other than the Y. I think I spotted a port inner mandible part for the 32" Falcon, for instance (but haven't confirmed, it might simply be similar--I'm sure Frank, Tim, et. al. would know, but I'm getting off topic).

HI guys I'm new here. Speaking of Y-WINGS I beleive you guys know that all of them have been discontinued from ERTL for quite some time now .Well what do you know I walked into a collectible shop a cuople of days ago spotted one in mint condition .

 

[Boba Flint]

Welcome Metalboy.
Just to inform you.
This forum is for scratchbuilding studio scale models. Your post really belongs in the General Modeling Forum since it deals with a mass produced model kit.

 

[Flintlock]

damnable luck! I ordered a Bandai 1/15 Hummel so I would finally get to see what parts it had to yeild... Hobby Link Japan had tons of them... and now they are like on permanent backorder or something... what's the deal? is anyone else having this problem?

Try this link, http://www.militaryhobbies.com
I've order several items from them and Dave is good to work with. I believe shipping on the Hummel is "no charge", but since its coming from Canada, it takes a little longer. E-Mail me if I can be of further help
