Beautiful!
I've been looking at pics and, I think, noticed this assembly used more than once and partially used.

The Hummel part ?

Actually, no, I hadn't even considered that to be a part until recently. The parts that troubled me were the t-bars. I really thought that whole t-bar/styrene assembly on top was a kit part. As simple as it really is, it's really interesting to see how the t-bar was modified at one end instead of simply cutting it off clean where it meets the white styrene. Pretty neat.

Beggars can't be choosers, but a sub assembly like this one would be incredibly helpful also.(Photo from a Tox build)

That subassembly is a Y-Wing rite of passage. 100% necessary, in fact. Why don't you build it?
Good effing luck!!!

I was only including kit parts in the greeblie packs, not sub assemblies, but that ILM engine cluster that Craig made was kind of in the spirit of them (plus I'm mostly doing this for me, and that cluster lets me easily make my Neisen kits with styrene engine cans). Any thing past that seems too much like making a piecemeal kit to me, and that's a sticky wicket I'm not going to fall into. Someone else can take that on if they want!
I am hoping my Open Source Y Wing project will encourage more scratch building (form kit parts) rather than relying on pre-made sub assemblies. I'm also hoping that a few might even deviate form the original a bit. I'm building a 2 seater Fighter Bomber, so there will be some difference both inside the cockpit and out.
The collaboration being shown in the parts map thread is inspiring!

Apologies if this isn't a reasonable question to be asking. I noticed a few parts from your offerings on the Y and was unfamiliar with a few. Is it too much to ask which kits these 2 pieces come from? Thank you either way for a response either with 2 kit names or a no!
Edit: I now see that #1 I was asking about comes from the Tamiya 1/25 Centurion Mk.III. The scan I have made that part hard to distinguish any surface detail.
Thank you but I am aware. I wasn't asking for the parts kits for the sake of asking. My question did pertain a purpose. Both are also used on the Red Jammer and part 2 shows up at least 3 times.

Take er easy there big dog! Just trying to help.
I just went through old Y threads here and found out what half of those parts are from. The big gray part and yellow base part I'm not sure about, but the yellow part seems to be part of a tank based on its color.
Keep looking at the available reference for clues.
There are even pics of the efx master in one thread with all the bare kit parts shown in pretty good detail.

And the first setback is that the hornet part ID'd as being part of that cluster isn't from the hornet. One step forward, one step back...
