Korbanth Y wing opinions and size question.

[Jamesfett]

Hello,

I need some advice and measurements.

I wanted to know what experts thought of the Korbanth Y wing S.S. Model? It looks nice to me but I am no expert.

Spaceship Model Y - 1:24 Scale Model Kit

This is the 1:24 scale Spaceship model Y - Same scale as Model spaceship X (T-65 and T-70) as well as Model Spaceship A and B - Korbanth Sabers, Costumes, Models and Props - The terms Lightsaber | Starwars | Jedi | Skywalker | Darth Vader, are Trademarked by Lucasfilms & owned by Disney.

Is there an alternative?

Can someone do me a huge favor and give me the overall measurements of the S.S. Y wing. Just the total length and width? I am looking at space, etc.

Thank you so much in advance.

Anything Korbanth is rubbish. Ymmv. I am not going to go into huge detail again as I and others have said it before.

Additionally, it’s not even close to being accurate to the studio model.

Find yourself a Nice-N Y-wing, or the open source files from DaveG.

 

[Jamesfett]

Thanks for the info.

Isn't Nice-N the one who takes years to deliver, bailed on a bunch of owed models to make the Disneyland Star Wars Models? Am I mixing up makers??

 

[swgeek]

No you are not.

There is a guy on eBay who casts them for Steve/Nice-N.
Anyway, they pop up every now and again there. He’s out of Colorado.

I did mine with the open souce files from DaveG, and all greebles are from Studio Kitbash.

I was under the impression that Steve had made good on his back orders... is that not the case?

Nice-N is the best there is IMO. For mine I ended up with a hybrid of the Nice-N (Salzo casting) as the core, original Saturn V engines and a sprinkling of original donor kits plus a mixture of the excellent Studio Kitbash and Masterpiece Models greeblies.

I also have many leftover parts including some DaveG originals. If you’re in the UK, PM for more details if you think they may be of use.

I’ve been waiting a year for one from Nice-n. He’s one of those guys that always promises the kit will ship in a couple weeks, then he disappears. If you can find one on the secondary market, great. In my opinion Steve is at best unreliable and at worst a crook.

I ended up getting Randy's/Korbanth's version and I love it. Easy to put together, very well made.

I am very happy with it.

I have his huge U Wing as well. It's a little tougher but coming together nicely. Very happy with it as well.

I have had several of his Lightsabers and a Vader Chest Box, Belt and Box set I was very happy with.
