Thanks everybody!BTW,I'm also woking on modifiying MR Y-wing which is the same version as I'm doing on my FMY.I'm looking for this parts.I appreciate if anyone could tell me what this is.Thanks

I´m converting my old Neisen Y into this version, and was also looking for this part without success. The small round piece on top is from Tamiya´s 1/12 Lotus JPS MKIII, what´s beneath it might have been cut from a battleship´s deck, maybe the base of a big cannon? And all this sits on top of another greeblie which is on MR´s Y.

Thank you daniel!The same parts are in a Tie-Fighter cockpit.Looks like in one piece??:confusedWhat do you think?

Here's a pic.

Yes, looks like one piece, but with ILM you can never be sure. If it´s also used in the TIE, then it seems likely though.
Here´s where the small piece on top comes from, the small part in the lower right corner: http://www.studioscale.com/images/Kit Photos/Tamiya/JPS 1-12/c.jpg
I´m sure someone around here knows where the rest comes from, but when I made a new thread to ask I didn´t get the correct answer. :unsure

 

[kh39]

I'm starting to think you are right.After I posted the pic of Tie part,I'd found buble.Maybe they used resin part just like they used R2 strip on some other models.If I found the other parts,I'll let you know.Thanks

 

[kh39]

I've scribed panel lines on the sides and added raised panels.

Your chip on the right is slightly larger than the ILM original,but otherwise,spot on!

Thank you everybody!As a star wars fan,I wanted to born in the US.:lol

Thank you!I think you are right.

 

[darth_daniel]

Could it be there´s two small panels missing right in front of the canopy on the nose? Or are they just not visible in the pics? Two rectangles, one very thin and long. (I can remember putting them there when modifying my Neisen Y.)

BTW, great work there. You´ve gone much further than I have on my first 3 builds. Luckily I´ve got 7 more to build though!

 

[Colin Droidmilk]

Great stuff. Very keen to see how you tackle the neck...

 

[79 DAYTONA]

Looking GOOD!!!:thumbsup Keep the updates coming.

 

[jschlosser]

daniel,I've forgot!:lol I really appreciate you pointing out my oversight.
