Ahhh, thanks! I'll update it. Doesn't matter much - there's plenty to bite onto in the engine mount area!

Almost done!

Jason, may I ask what your approach to lighting this kit is? I see the channels within the body for the wiring, but I'm guessing you are going to run your power into an adapter as I'm not sure anything but 2 AA batteries will fit in the rear. If you are using an adapter where are you running your power supply wire when using a panavise stand?

A 9 volt in the engine, behind a mount cover

and the toggle switch is straight up functional!

All done!

Outstanding, Jason!!!!!

Hi fellow Y-Wing model builders! I am in need of some assistance. I received my Y-Wing from Mike early this week and have started doing some clean up only to find some of the larger parts missing. Without a parts inventory list or final assembly instruction I am relying on photos posted by fellow Y-Wing builders posting here.

here are pics of ALL my parts including some I know I am missing. I would like to provide a complete list of missing parts for Mike to send and ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The first missing part is from the kit but that second pic in your missing jpeg is not the same model kit or pattern - where did that pic come from?

Man, I wish my paint skills were better than they are... I'm really wanting this kit!!!

Can anyone tell me what they used for the long engine end extensions and how long they are?

maxhebus · Mar 12, 2017

Are you talking about the 1/4 inch ABS T shaped Plastruct?
I can't remember how long they should be.

kokkari · Mar 12, 2017

Each are 13.5 inches from the front of the engine cans to the tail shroud, but you should give yourself an extra 1/4 inch to connect with the shroud.

Thanks Mike.

Is this what you used: https://plastruct.com/shop/structural-shapes/90086-t-8/ Thanks

maxhebus · Mar 12, 2017

Yes, that the one. You need two packs. one for each engine.

Are all of these pics from your kit.

That last pic is just an injector port, discard it.

The Plastruct info is in the directions that have been currently posted (except for the tube for the Aavid Heatsinks)

Hi Mike,
Yes, these are all my kit parts (LargeParts.jpg , SmallerParts.jpg, SmallParts.jpg)
I have one other issue. The metal sheet that supports the wings is about 1/16 - 1/8 too wide http://thedragonsden.ca/Y-Wing/toobig.jpg

Ho Moffeaton,
Sorry I missed that in your instruction. Was looking for pics and did not read the text. <

Per your instructions:'I used the following catalog code tubes/wires: 90101, 90102, 90103, 90104, 90105. You also need Plastruct tube XXXXXX for the thruster assemblies.'

Questions
- Do I buy one set of each tube numbers you listed or will I need multiples of some (no quantity listed)?
- 'Plastruct tube XXXXXX' Is this an actual product number or a place holder for when you get the number?

Thanks!
