Huh, never noticed before, but that and the top part you already scratched is the same part on the side of the "neck" area on the Y-Wing
I think it is from the bottom of a 1/35 German 8-Rad (that part over on the right)
Hey fella's, and any ladies that might be watching too, I've done what I think will be a nice "base" replacement for the 8Rads on the sides that I mentioned earlier as "next up".

Here's what it initially looks like on the model.

And here's the original piece right next to my new "base".

Folks, I gotta say, I think this one will work! Personally, I think that looks MUCH better. I call them "base" at this point because there's still a fair amount of noodles, pipes, greeblies, lines, tubes, hoses, thing-a-ma-bobs that'll go on these.
Y'all can't tell me that THIS one wasn't worth the time.
Rob.
I would say those are a huge improvement and definitely worth it
It wasn't worth it.
It wasn't worth it.
I can't believe Apogee left the locator pins on the 8 rad piece. Didn't they know we would be obsessing over this piece of art 40 years later!
YES that needed to be done. Much better.
Opinion: Pepsi is better than Coke!
Seriously, looking good! I thought when the Mobius TOS Galactica came out, it had corrected everything that was wrong with Monogram's version and was pretty much supposed to be spot on! I didn't realize it had it's own issues!
Looking forward to your progress on this...I may have to use some techniques on my old Galactica model!
I like your work and all, but let's not say things we can't take back!
Not sure what you're offering me to "join in on"; I'm broke if it's a matter of money.
But pictures, those I can get you. Give me a day to take some good ones so I can post them.
