I started this build back in the late 90s. When the Magic of Myth tour provided the best way to get any Y wing reference.
It was a slow build but when it came to the neck after about three tries to make it I got so frustrated that I put the model in my closet and there it stayed for over 10 years.
New donor kits were found more pics of the Y wing models were collected but I did nothing with my scratch build.

Until a few months ago, when I got my build out and started to work on it again. I made some upgrades to my model. Replacing wrong kit parts with the correct ones,and such. The biggest change I did was to remove my engine greeblies and replace them with the set Moffeaton made available. I also used the new neck that Dave G made available as an open source. Eventually I will get prints of the Y-Wing head he made as well. But for now this is where I'm at.
