I'd love to have a Y-Wing pilot too. Any idea if this one would fit in the MR Y-Wing?

For those that have ordered from plastruct , how many of the tb48 did you order ? as far as the wiring, did you order just one pack of each ? 90101,
90102, 90103, 90104, 90105 . Hopefully the instructions will be final soon or some people will put up detailed builds.

In addition, you will need to purchase 8
1/4” ABS TEE from Plastruct, code number T-8. It is easiest to order two of their 4-packs, catalog code #90086.
You will also need to puchase butyrate coated wire and butyrate tubing from Plastruct as well. I used the following catalog code tubes/wires: 90101,
90102, 90103, 90104, 90105. You also need Plastruct tube tb 48 for the thruster assemblies.
Just to clear this up, in my head, is it tb-28 or tb-48 you need, or is it both?
I know one is TB-28 but I do not know how many you need. I do not think I have seen tb-48. My brain is hurting Psimon, I think that looks like one of each should be plenty plus leftovers for other projects I assume they bend easily ?
I sold my MR Y-Wing last year so I am not sure what would be involved. I too was disappointed that it did not come with a pilot. I believe it was also studio scale so the figure should work but may need additional trimming to fit properly. I would be afraid of taking the canopy off but if you are going to repaint the model (the MR paint job was NOT very good) you should be ok. If you haven't seen this already check out Gunpowder's MR Y-Wing repaint: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=27020
Defiantly interested in this kit. I'm and Electrical Engineer by trade and would be willing to work on some lighting electronics. I was thinking about a little board that would sit in one/both of the battery channels. Possibly an Arduino type board or a custom piece of hardware. I don't have the model yet so i can't judge the space great but adding it would prob require the use of an external DC supply/battery pack.
If anyone is interested in something there is obviously both engines and the cockpit to light, are there any other lighting zones people would want? Also what effects blinking, breathing, flickering? If there is interest I would prob work on it over the summer. If this is not the thread for this type of thing let me know.
